How would he know what this forum is like unless he lurks here. How’s that different from accusing us of lurking there?

Is the article proferring a false narrative based on fictional facts?

A former college professor was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of setting fires near the massive Dixie Fire in Northern California, which has already destroyed over 500 homes and is nearing 500,000 acres, the second-worst in California history.

The Sacramento Bee reported Tuesday:

Gary Stephen Maynard, 47, is believed to have worked at a number of colleges in California, including Santa Clara University and Sonoma State University, where a Dr. Gary Maynard is listed as a lecturer in criminal justice studies specializing in criminal justice, cults and deviant behavior.

…

Maynard was arrested Saturday following an investigation that began July 20 and included a U.S. Forest Service agent placing a tracking device under his car after he had been stopped briefly by Susanville police on Aug. 3.

…

“Over the course of the last several weeks, Maynard has set a series of fires in the vicinity of the Lassen National Forest and Shasta Trinity National Forest…,” [Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael] Anderson wrote in a detention memo. “The area in which Maynard chose to set his fires is near the ongoing Dixie fire, a fire which is still not contained despite the deployment and efforts of over 5,000 personnel.

…

[U.S. Magistrate Judge Kendall J.]suggested there may be mental issues at play and ordered him to remain in custody pending a hearing Wednesday.

Sonoma State told the Bee that Maynard has not worked there since the end of 2000.

As of Tuesday evening, the Dixie Fire has burned 490,205 acres and is 27% contained.

Are you saying the more authoritarian a government gets the more bribery and corruption there is?
