Somebody triggered by seeing Old Glory?
We had a guy on our lake burn his shanty that was froze in the ice. I called our CO. He was easy on the guy and only gave him a littering ticket. When I was telling a friend that is a state fire marshal about it he told me that any form of arson is a felony so the guy got off easy.Hopefully when the catch the perp they charge him with a felony.
come on man...
At one of my local lakes a fellow fisher's permy shack got stolen and burned to the ground a few miles away. What kind of loser does this? Being that it was burned I'd assume the act was personal and not just random thievery.
Wouldn’t it only be considered arson if one tried to claim insurance for it or gain something?
Not sure where you're from, but it's a thing around here.
People set buildings on fire because they display the American flag?
Burning it down is a crime in-and-of itself (arson). Claiming insurance after you burn it yourself (or have a buddy do it for you) is insurance fraud.
You read the definition?Arson is a crime of intentionally, deliberately and maliciouslySo if I wanna burn my shack just to get rid of it that doesn't sound like arson to me.
Legally burning your own stuff is not arson unless it is for insurance fraud or some other criminal intent. You two should be lawyers if you can argue over this.
Not that I'm aware of, but they do burn the flag itself, and some places ban it completely. The mere sight of the flag triggers some people apparently.
Not looking to get into a fight here, just a caution to watch where you take your legal advice from and never depend on Wikipedia's version of the word. Your state statute is the controlling definition. In my state, malicious intent is not required. It would likely be considered arson here if you burn up your own shack.
