      The person who set the fires said they wanted to be arrested, and it wasn’t politically motivated. Unless they give evidence to the contrary, there’s no reason to not believe them, especially since they had a prior arrest warrant outstanding for something unrelated.

      Edit: Wow, lot of astroturfing going on here, or people who didn’t read the article.

        If he has a warrant out and wanted to be arrested… Why wouldn’t he just walk into a police station?

          People who want to be arrested aren’t necessarily the sharpest tool in the shed…

            They also look kind of dumb with their finger and their thumb in the shape of an “L” on their forehead.

          Most people have no idea they have a warrant out until they have an interaction with the police. Most warrants aren’t for issues serious enough to send an officer to pick someone up. Not all warrants are for violent offenses.
