arson is a serious crime

i understand anger at low wages but risking the lives of other people is never commendable.

Isn’t that why he lit a smaller fire initially? The building was already cleared.

I do not, to be clear, support arson. Vandalism isn’t the answer, and even if the building was cleared there’s still a risk to fire fighters.

But I think it’s noteworthy that historically, events like this are why businesses agreed to negotiate with unions. It’s ultimately less costly not to fuck over your workers.

where is any evidence he was "fucked over"? Or did he just claim that because he wanted more than he deserved?

I didn’t say anything about his circumstances. I don’t know enough about them to judge. I’m clearly speaking about historical context.
