So some guy lights your SUV on fire and you just drive away? Like oh yeah it'll burn itself out. I'll just drive real fast once I get around this corner.

Props to flower shirt guy for stepping up.

Haven't seen a rag doll like that since Chara took down McCabe.

Make him buy new cars as a way to avoid a prison sentence.



Giving him a quarter million dollar tab that he's responsible for.


Also sentence him to 5 summers of scrubbing camp toilets in Banff

Big thanks to the Magnum PI who took him down. Too bad there wasn’t some off camera street justice done to the idiot before the cops came. That 2x4 could have been put to good use on the perp.

So many odd things in that video.

The people on the street who are just watching. The guy who continues driving even though his car is on fire. The couple who decide to find a different seat in the Starbucks. All the randoms who come by to film.

Car fires and people getting arrested in Starbucks is just a regular day in Edmonton.

What’s most surprising is that anyone noticed. I would’ve thought burned out vehicles is as normal as the overwhelming stench of urine by now. Just something they’ve all become accustomed to.

Everybody thinks it’s an arsonist but maybe the cars committed suicide. They are in Edmonton after all.

Jumpin' Jesus on a stick, I was there about an hour after this happened. If I was sitting at Meat or The Next Act I'd want to tackle that guy sooner but I'd probably be paralyzed in the heat of the moment of what to do next.

Props to Hawaii 5-0 guy for taking him down.

The whole take your cell phone out and film thing is annoying to me. I wonder if police intervention was delayed because instead of dialing 911 people were too busy filming the action.
