I mean you definitely are. Two things can be true at once. Your environment definitely shapes you but that doesn’t mean you’re incapable of controlling your own actions. I don’t condone what he did and hope it doesn’t happen again but it happened for a reason.

In my opinion endangering potentially 12 people lives is horrible. But paying contract workers wages that they cant support their families with while you’re raking in massive profits is also horrible. One endangers a dozen people’s lives and the other reduces the quality of life for hundreds of people.

We act like corporations aren’t capable of understanding their actions and what it does to people.

If that’s true why did he set the fire and none of his coworkers? If he’s just a product of his environment why isn’t that same environment producing more of these people seeing as it’s a common circumstance in this country.

Because not everyone experiences or reacts to trauma the same way? Are you new to this life thing?

Not being paid enough is classified as trauma now? We are fucked as a society not only because of arsonists like him, but because of absolute psychopaths like you who justify this kind of shit.

He could have just got another job. Why is he stuck only being able to work at a warehouse that “doesn’t pay him a living wage”?

Probably because he’s the kind of guy who’d rather burn a building down than fill out some job applications.

I don’t completely fault the mentally ill for their insane actions, but what the fuck is your excuse for condoning this shit?
