2. Oh, you meant physically burned...

I thought you meant financially. That, he seems to get away with without much being said.

Hope those folks are OK.

3. Another grifter.

I'm just amazed that people could be persuaded to do something like that. P.T. Barnum was right, I guess.

4. Well, that cements Tony's HOF nomination

In the "Hall of Fame for Charlatans, Quacks, and Confidence Agents" If this goober ain't in jail for multiple counts of aggravated assault, then there's no justice left in Texas.

8. I'm sure this isn't helping ease people's fear of fire at all.
