Thankfully this ahole was stopped and caught.

I don't  quite get whey they said he had gasoline and an accelerant as one would generally assume gasoline is a rather effective accelerant on its  own.  Time to look it up.

Ah, I see now. Gasoline is classed as a fuel,  lighter fluid is an accelerant.  A seemingly small difference but a difference still.

And of course, this genius was from my area (northern New Jersey)...

He apparently tried to convince the cops that he was just taking a short cut thru the cathedral to get back to his car, which was out of gas. Nice try, dude. :D
