And Justice For All...even rodents

All I can say about this asshole is...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!


Blazing mouse sets fire to house
A US man who threw a mouse onto a pile of burning leaves could only watch in horror as it ran into his house and set the building ablaze.
Luciano Mares, 81, of Fort Sumner, New Mexico, found the mouse in his home and wanted to get rid of it.

"I had some leaves burning outside, so I threw it in the fire, and the mouse was on fire and ran back at the house," he was quoted as saying by AP.

Though no-one was injured, the house and everything in it was destroyed.

"I've seen numerous house fires, but nothing as unique as this one," Fire Department Captain Jim Lyssy said.

New Mexico has seen several major blazes after unseasonably dry and windy conditions which have destroyed 10 homes and devastated more than 53,000 acres (21,200 hectares) of land.

Serves him right for setting a rat on fire!
Now I'm no rat-enthusiast, but he could have killed it quickly if he
thought he was inmortal danger.
Humans are pittiful!

Alas.. it's now been told as having been faked. Now the story is that had killed the mouse and THEN threw it on the fire and that high winds blew the leaves to the house where they caught.

I'm glad that the story was faked. I like mice - they're cute! I don't like people who hurt animals. I also don't like stupid idiots who aren't smart enought to NOT light fires in high winds, droughts and other obviously fire danger type conditions.
