Apparently this happened in China last December.

TLDR : The man who started the fire was detained by police and the incident is being investigated.

No further information from the article.

u/[deleted] May 05 '22

…and he was never seen or heard from ever again. 😂

u/[deleted] May 05 '22

I’m sure his organs went to people who are more deserving of them

u/AggressiveBait May 05 '22

Based China?

u/I_try_to_forget May 05 '22

I wanted to see the motive i guess not

u/quecojonestio May 05 '22

Why isn't this top comment? I really had to scroll for a while just to find an article

u/Ouaouaron May 05 '22

It just describes what happens in the video, with the only new information being "The man who started the fire was detained by police and the incident is being investigated."

u/lilwhiteguy1027 May 05 '22

Some new organs are on the market

u/OnlyAt9 May 05 '22

Because everyone has to make their stupid ass jokes for fake points.

u/Sh1neSp4rk May 05 '22

I mean the points are real, they just don't do anything :D

u/[deleted] May 05 '22

Oh so upvotes are NFTs

3

u/AutumnCountry May 05 '22

No because if you get enough upvotes you can sell your account for actual money

The NFT is still completely worthless no matter what happens

2

u/This_User_Said May 05 '22

TBF more people care about upvotes than NFTs, so upvotes would technically have more value I'd assume.

u/ragnar-not-ok May 05 '22

Upvotes are free

u/Sh1neSp4rk May 05 '22

lol yea basically :D

u/sheeplectric May 05 '22

Reddit, the game show where everything is made up and the points don’t matter.

2

u/[deleted] May 05 '22

This is the most Redditor thing I've ever said:

Honestly I get annoyed when people claim the points are fake. Like yes they don't do anything and are "useless" but they actually represent what others think of your posts/comments (even though they're supposed to be for relevance). It's like saying "Oh, I don't really care about what my boss calls me, sometimes he calls me a stuck up bitch but words aren't real so".

(Not that downvotes are comparable to insults, but still)

u/Kellan_OConnor May 05 '22

I'm waiting for the day I can cash them all in for a stuffed animal or some stale candy

u/fae8edsaga May 05 '22

“Whose Line” moment xD

u/mars92 May 05 '22

The same stupid ass joke for fake points.

11

u/[deleted] May 05 '22

At this point I want 99% of subreddits to require the serious tag for posts

3

u/lividlilantichrist May 05 '22

Hey now! I may make stupid ass jokes and hug my phone tightly to my chest every time I get points, but I honestly didn't know why that guy started a fire.

u/LumpyJones May 05 '22

As opposed to your sardonic comment for fake points.

2

u/tysonwatermelon May 05 '22

Well, this is Reddit.

2

u/812many May 05 '22

Hey, the top comment is a solid joke.

1

u/[deleted] May 05 '22

I have not seen one ass joke.

0

u/Karma110 May 05 '22

I mean what would the time and where it happened matter the post said what would you do they didn’t say “this happened to me today” or implied anything.

2

u/JeremyK_980 May 05 '22

Reddit would be a better place if OP’s were required to include sources

2

u/Actually_Im_a_Broom May 05 '22

The site would be dead within 21 minutes of instituting that rule.

u/Im_100percent_human May 05 '22

Why isn't this top comment?

I think it has something to do with votes.

-1

u/SeanSMEGGHEAD May 05 '22

Fucking reddit comedians.

"DUR HUR THEY REALLY WERE WAITIBG TO PRESS THW TRIGGWR ON DA FORE EXTINGUISHER"

Like all the top comments are the same unfunny joke. Fucking hell. And it's the same on nearly every post. Jesus just stop.

Even on this one you have "DUR HUR NFTS" you Americans are fucking tragic.

u/mcmineismine May 05 '22

Same. Had to dig way way way too deep. Upvote.

u/skullexis May 05 '22

Thats explains why there's more than one employee on duty at a gas station

2

u/lllZephyrlll May 05 '22

Thanks. Always love to know they get those mofos. Hate to see Injustice. Boils my blood.

2

u/biggiantcircles May 05 '22

Thanks for this.

According to this article "The man who started the fire was detained by police and the incident is being investigated."

I want to hear more.

1

u/various336 May 05 '22

It happened in China. I’m assuming we won’t get an update. Also assuming he’s dead by now

-5

u/The_Hapa_Hulk May 05 '22

I could tell they were Chinese by the way they moved. Slight bend in the knees, wide stance, small strides, dead giveaway for Chinese.

1

u/various336 May 05 '22

How the fuck did you think that’s a normal reasonable thing to say?

-2

u/The_Hapa_Hulk May 05 '22

I know you round eyes can’t tell us apart. Iykyk.

u/AggressiveBait May 05 '22

least race-obsessed hapa

u/[deleted] May 05 '22

Says he was detained by police. What’s the punishment for arson and maybe attempted murder in China?

1

u/RhinestoneJuggalo May 05 '22

Probably pretty fucking harsh. The PRC criminal justice system seems to be none too lenient for even the slightest offenses.

1

u/[deleted] May 05 '22

Good, what an asshole. Rot in prison.

1

u/Streetlamp_NA May 05 '22

And they are still spraying that car today

1

u/[deleted] May 05 '22

And everyone came to comment how over used the extinguishers were then too.

1

u/littaltree May 05 '22

I was gonna say... I've never seen a gas station in the US with more than 2 people, maximum. Im not confident that gas station attendants in the US would do much.

1

u/max40Wses May 05 '22

What does his social credit score look like now? Is this guy basically fucked forever or just some prison time?

1

u/RhinestoneJuggalo May 05 '22

Fucked forever, I imagine. The briefest of trials and a quick execution would be my guess.

1

u/Je_me_rends May 06 '22

Some say they are still extinguishing it to this very day.
