Now another one, WTF? Burn your own home down? And KILL your pets? A LONG prison sentence is what is needed to stop this kind of crap from happening.

Transgender activist accused of burning down own home in hate crime hoax
Police have reportedly arrested a Jackson, Michigan transgender and gay rights activist for allegedly burning down his own home.
Authorities accuse Nikki Joly, who organized a series of pro-LGBTQ events and initiatives in the socially conservative town, of intentionally setting fire to their own residence in 2017, The Detroit News reported Monday. Five pets perished in the inferno and the FBI investigated the incident as a hate crime, given that Joly had allegedly received threats prior to the fire.
But a police report indicates that Joly was looking for further publicity to advance his cause.
The arrest has shocked locals on both sides of the LGBTQ rights issue, especially in the wake of actor Jussie Smollett being accused of staging his own hate crime in order to promote his career.
Joly has been celebrated in the local LGBTQ community for helping build a gay community center, organizing a gay pride parade and advocating for a municipal ordinance forbidding discrimination based on sexual orientation. Joly was even named Citizen of the Year, The News notes.
“It’s embarrassing? How do you do it to the community you have put so much effort into helping?” Travis Trombley, who is homosexual, asked The News.
