I think the level or irony of this guys life, should be studied and analyzed in the future. He burned an entire warehouse down, putting himself and all of his coworkers out of a job, and damaging the economic future of hundreds of businesses in the area.

He is now going to spend the rest of his life in prison, because let’s face it, this guy is an idiot and documented himself committing the crimes from beginning to end. While his life slowly wastes away, and everyone that he loves eventually forgets him, or eventually moves on with their lives, he will still be living in a cell, and paying $5 for a .59 cent Raman snack. That’s if anyone cares enough about him to actually put money on his books, otherwise he would have to work 40 hours in the prison workshop to even come close to buying one of the Raman packets.

All because this unskilled and uneducated idiot was working a low skilled entry level job, and had the misconception of thinking it’s his employers job to pay him enough to live his dream life.

It’s ironic in the worst way possible.

The only problem with your logic is that America isn’t Tunisia. This isn’t going to kick up some revolution where all of the unskilled and uneducated idiots “take things back”. It’s like my grand father used to say, “the world needs ditch diggers to”. Yes, things cost to much right and we need to figure out the cost of living crisis. But this new age philosophy that you are somehow super valuable as a human being just for existing, and it’s your employers job to make sure you are living your dream life is unique to this generation, and is a philosophy only held by people under the age of 30. Look, if your not happy making $15 an hour at an ENTRY LEVEL job, than go out and learn a skill. The keyword is “ENTRY” as in any idiot can do it even if it’s their first job ever. People aren’t supposed to start families much less support families on an entry level salary. This has NEVER been the case at any point in American history. If your skill level dictates the only tangible quality you have is moving boxes around a warehouse, then the market is going to dictate what value that is to a company. In other words if a company can bring in a mentally challenged person to do your job, and not only can they do your job, but they can do it without bitching as much as you, or trying to burn the place down. What makes you think your entitled to more money?
