San Antonio toilet bomber arrested.

Okay Karen.

As you pointed out there are levels to pranks. This prank was on the level of ding dong ditch. The one you posted is on the level of destruction of property and assault. Pretty huge difference no?

Different levels, yes. Both douchebag behavior, yes.

If someone sticks a couple of pop pops/snappers under a toilet seat that you sit on. Are you going to laugh about it or get the cops involved and attempt ruin someone's life?

Never said any of that....dude's still a douchbag that needs to be more constructive with his time. Story also mentioned a little girl that got "hit". It adds to the doucheness.

I never said you said any of that. I asked a question. I'll agree dude is douchebag and that there is a time and place for pranks. What I am saying is the punishment doesn't fit the crime. In fact I'm failing to see the crime at all. I mean I see what the charges are, but I can't connect them to the story. Being a douchebag isn't a crime. It is douchy.

This is a shitty thread.

He even looks like an ass clown in his mug shot!

I'd be laughing.
That's funny.

 

[Younggun]

Odd behavior. But if it was those poppers…shit, I throw them at my nieces and nephews and they throw them at me. Not buying that they cause any kind of injuries. You can pop them between your damn fingers.

If it were your 9-year old daughter, which would you do?

 

[Maverick44]

The guy's douchiness aside, charging him with arson is absurd.

If I had a daughter she would probably be laughing about it. I'm not calling the damn cops over a little prank.

Y'all read the limited info in the article and concluded he used only the toy poppers. I read it to say that he likely used them with other accelerants. Only LE knows for sure. Perhaps they charged him appropriately.

Man accused of setting explosive booby traps inside bathrooms at local businesses causing injuries

Detectives found remains from small, readily available commercial fireworks that are designed to explode when pressure is applied left behind at both scenes.

Bullshit. Any pranks involving fireworks/explosives are not on the same lines of ding dong ditch. The first can cause bodily harm, the latter are simply a nuisance.

This jackass deserves to have his face punched in, what he did wasn't a harmless prank but a sign of mental illness.

It's still a crime, which is why he was arrested for 'arson causing reckless damage – bodily injury' which most likely be pleaded down to a Class C misdemeanor of criminal mischief for "intentionally or knowingly tampers with the tangible property of the owner and causes pecuniary loss or substantial inconvenience to the owner or a third person."

How is this acceptable public behavior for a 46-year-old man?!?

Until it happens to you, then I am sure you'd be the first person to call the cops!

 

[Moonpie]

The cops should be called on everyone in this thread.

He could enter a plea to the Court that his behavior is due to being a democrat.

Nothing in that article or any of the others I've read suggests that he used an accelerant.
