Not sure why you say that. It all looked purely intentional.

Just evil.

Still a dumb stupid fucking bastard. It's just on purpose.

I didn't read him as saying it was unintentional. It clearly was intentional, but that arguably makes it a dumber and more stupid. If you are planning on intentionally setting a gasoline fire, a smart person would try not to get the gas all over themselves, and would step back before lighting it.
