Me either, however, since it is federal, I would think it would be like the feds getting involved in a bank robbery verses a gas station stick up.

I agree its a serious crime, just dont understand how the feds would have jurisdiction.

How the citizen's car came be on fire is an interesting, but omitted part of the story.

No, it's a poorly written story.

The person that was sitting in the vehicle on fire was the perpetrator. The error in the story is referring to the vehicle as "his own car". It should have been "the car that he had previously stolen".

“Excellent!”

Thanks, what an amazingly sick person that guy is.

I thought about that after I posted. To really get the effect, you have to say it like him, where you cut out a couple of vocal cords.
