“The Carsonist(s)” Captured by Dallas Police … Then Another Car is Set on Fire

Dallas Police arrested four people over the weekend in connection with the string of car fires in South Dallas. (They didn’t realize the car they doused in gasoline was parked directly in front of an unmarked DPD vehicle.) Awesome, right? Except that another fire happened Monday morning. That makes, I believe, 27 such fires. And still, no one has bothered to target my vehicle. Someone put it out of its misery.

I have a theory. It is MC 900 Foot Jesus. Case closed.

Amanda, he was at Lee Harvey’s playing acid jazz and has an ironclad alibi. Why has no one thought to blame Laura Miller? She once lived in OC. Connect the dots!

Doused a car parked in front of an unmarked police car? What donut shop has parallel parking?
Sure, this is costing automobile owners, but put a pencil to the price of rolling cops and fire trucks everytime someone torches a car….All the taxpayers ought to be mad about this semi-serious approach to stopping these jerks.

I just hope at least one of the “Carsonists” is named Johnny.
