Angry Polish Guy Doesn't Get Invited On Family Picnic, So He Blows Up House

8. Having a father like that can certainly color ones perspective

Wow and sorry. To respond, the article doesn't tell us much beyond the house burning and precipitating event. We can only imagine what else might have been going on. I use my study of abnormal psychology to hypothesize. Yes, I agree the man probably is an asshole, in which case, he no doubt made everyone in the family miserable. Which leads us to the possibility that Mrs. Kaminski actually lit that fire before she left. Her report is leading:

The man's wife Grazyna said: "He called me on the mobile home and demanded that I go home, but when I refused he said he was going to get revenge. I did not take him seriously and then I returned home to find this."

I know your history gives you cause to believe her, but that he was caught in his own fire makes me wonder. Even if the call is on her phone, and the kids confirm the conversation, that he was caught in the fire, leaves doubt. I wonder about insurance money, that would be another factor.

I am not blaming the victim. Blaming the victim takes responsibility off of the offender and I am not doing that. The man is a victim too, even if it is of his own ineptness and temper.
