🚨#BREAKING: A man who m*rdered his own FATHER because he was asked to WASH DISHES... is now accused of setting a fire that burned roughly 700 homes to the ground and forced 65,000 people to flee. Yes, he k*lled his dad over DISHES and he wasn't in prison. His name is Aaron Farinacci. He's 37. Back in 2010, in Mesa, Arizona, Farinacci got into an argument with his father, because his father asked him to do the dishes. So he shot him de*d. Then he pointed the gun at his own mother. Then he shot himself and survived. He was charged with first-degree M*RDER... but that got knocked down, and he pleaded guilty to mansl*ughter. Now fast forward to this week in Spokane, Washington. The Old Trails Fire tore through neighborhoods north of the city. It destroyed around 700 structures, most of them homes. As many as 65,000 people were forced to evacuate. Investigators say it was intentionally set. And they've arrested Aaron Farinacci. Police say he had waterproof matches and a butane lighter on him and found him kneeling in the grass right where the fire started. The sheriff says he's been contacted before for "arson-related behavior." Here's the part that will make you sick. On the DAY the fire started, a witness reported a nervous man in the trees. Police actually stopped Farinacci a mile away, questioned him... and let him GO. Now 700 families may be staring at the ashes of everything they built. But here's who got him: ordinary citizens. Neighbors who saw something wrong and refused to stay quiet. The prosecutor said that this case was cracked by "vigilant citizens" who spoke up. THANK GOD for people who pay attention. He's charged with first-degree arson, held on a $1 million bond. GOOD. How does a man plead guilty to k*lling his own father... and end up free, with a lighter, next to 65,000 people's homes? Somebody needs to answer for that. WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS.

Mugshot released of Chamel Abdulkarim, the man accused of starting the Ontario, California, fire that burned down the 1.2 million-square-foot Kimberly-Clark distribution center on Tuesday, causing an estimated $500 million in damages. The 29-year-old Abdulkarim invoked Luigi Mangione during his confession, say feds. He also allegedly filmed himself on Tuesday lighting the fires while complaining about not being paid enough for his work. He was arrested two miles from the scene, soon after the six-alarm fire brought 175 firefighters to battle the inferno. Abdulkarim faces federal arson charges in addition to state counts of aggravated arson. He could face anywhere from 10 years to LIFE IN PRISON due in part to the huge cost of damages to the property (which was a total loss) and the combination of federal and state charges. He’s a Highland resident and employee of NFI Industries, the logistics provider for the warehouse. A federal filing came late Thursday for him, after an ATF and FBI investigation, and a state arraignment is expected Monday. The federal affidavit alleges Abdulkarim filmed and posted video of himself setting fire to multiple pallets of paper goods inside the warehouse. The DOJ also alleges Abdulkarim sent communications boasting about the destruction. One message read, “I just cost these [expletive] billions.” Abdulkarim is being held without bail and will appear Monday for his state arraignment.
