Someone explain to me how the law works.
In wake of the Notre Dame Cathedral tragedy, and this guy's story not adding up....how do you not charge with anything? Does he have to actually start the fire, pour the gas? Light or attempt to flick a lighter? Seems kind of fucked no?
It was near 8 p.m. Wednesday when Mr. Lamparello, a 37-year-old adjunct philosophy lecturer, entered St. Patrick's Cathedral in Midtown Manhattan toting two gallons of gasoline, lighter fluid and lighters, the police said.
Stopped by ushers, he explained he was trying to take a shortcut through the iconic sanctuary to reach his vehicle, which had run out of gas, the police said.
Mr. Lamparello, who lives in New Jersey, was taken into custody Wednesday night for questioning, the police said, but has not been charged with any crime. He has had prior run-ins with law enforcement and had previously been arrested in New Jersey for trespassing, the Fire Department said.
