My Splatoon 2 skills came handy last night. Someone tried to torch my back fence.

No damage to the structure!

After the October fires we experienced last October in Santa Rosa, someone decided to come by and light up several places last night.

What the fuck is wrong with people?

Seriously, how does this kind of trash even exist?

WTF. Why? I really don't understand what goes through these people's broken minds.

I believe the question "how does this kind of trash exist" is still applicable.

On topic, good job OP! happy nothing bad happened.

I mean, there's a security camera shot right there. Definitely not a kid. (Nor would that make him any less trash.)

That's the OP spraying the fence with water using their Splatoon 2 skills. The security camera is inside the yard on the house obviously. The fire damage is from outside the fence by the road.

I legitimately thought that was someone in a nightgown wielding a homemade flamethrower.

Scary stuff, hope they catch and throw the book at however did this.

Scary! People going around starting fires like that. The fuck is wrong with them.

This is exactly what I thought, which is why the last picture of the damage on the outside confused me.

Tapiozona · Jun 18, 2018

You must live in a bad area..I moved away from an area that saw constant tagging. Never realized how angry it made me until I don't have to constantly see it or the ugly paint squarws they use to cover it up. That looks terrible, even worse cause of the wooden fence.

Just another reason why I need to invest in a few smart cameras for my house. Haven't run into any issues these last 9 months, but its summer time so we'll see. I'm glad my packages are always where they should be, since package theft has became an even bigger issue since Amazon started taking over. Glad your property is straight OP. Scary stuff

Only reason I still have a fence is because of the cameras. Saw that shit by luck and just in time. Ran out back. Used a hose that wasn't long enough to reach over the fence, so to extinguish fire right next to the other side of the fence I had to angle the hose to cover those areas.

Yup that's me watering away. The fire started on the other side of the fence where the bike path is.

Had to use a hose that didn't reach over the fence, so i had to angle the hose kind of sideways to put out flames directly on the other side of the fence.

Dyno · Jun 18, 2018

If it was a kid it's a fucking dumb kid. if nobody was awake there was a clear path for that fire to spread to the house by the looks of it.

Titik · Jun 18, 2018

Wait, people tag others people yards by burning them now? What the fuck?? I miss the days when it was just paint.

TheLetdown · Jun 18, 2018

Can we get some @mods to change OP's tag to: STAY FRESH

Random Painted Highway · Jun 18, 2018

That is nuts op. Stay safe and burn free

'Shoot' water with your gun (hose or bucket) to paint over ink (fire)

Sounds more like Super Mario Sunshine to me! Some nice FLUDD action there!

JigglesBunny · Jun 18, 2018

I hope you belly flopped onto the lawn and started slithering back towards the house after you put the fire out. If so, 300p+ Fresh bonus.

Amnixia · Jun 18, 2018

wtf OP, that's some crazy shit > glad to see nothing bad happened to you.

If it was him putting out the fire, ridding a running Yoshi and his backyard is like a Pachinko made of disappearing sand blocks with a time limit, then I would agree it would be like Mario Sunshine

Camjo-Z · Jun 18, 2018

Why did you get so close? That was clearly a job for a charger.

LinkStrikesBack · Jun 18, 2018

Anybody lighted a fire to burn something is attempted murder in my book.

This is crazy shit. Haven't really slept the last two nights. Had to go for jury duty selection today and got out due to the mental hardship of this. Got work tomorrow and just can't stop feeling shocked. Writing a comedy and nothing feels funny, whereas before it made me laugh. Found out from a news crew that we were hit the hardest, which doesn't say much about the arsonist other than that he failed. He torched a path full of homeless people. Sure it scared them too. Crazy, crazy shit.

Deleted member 7430 · Jun 22, 2018

Saw a fence, worse than mine. Completely charred. Very interesting observations while walking along the trail. Person traveled by bike with possibly a butane torch. $2500 reward.
