The arsonist doesn’t appear to be experienced from the video as he narly went on fire as well. (See video above)
The newspaper also headlined the story with this:
Why would a 28-year-old spend his time lighting a booth at a street fair on fire? I wish we knew more about his motive. Was this a personal attack to the owners of the rides or towards the Street Fair?
The fire marshall said: “Our Fire Marshals quickly apprehended this individual before he caused any further damage or harm to New Yorkers.”

Five Out of the Six Basement Apartments Where People Died Were Illegal Conversions
We’ve known for a long time that illegally converted basement apartments are not safe. Ten of the Thirteen people who died from drowing in their apartment were in an illegal conversion. (See here)
Can you imagine how horrible it had to be to find neighbors who drowned in their home?
NYC refused to do anything about the illegal apartments. Politicians in our area ran for office saying they would fight against the illegal apartments, but didn’t.
Leticia James is the only politician who I have seen respond to this disaster appropriately.

PlugNYC Charging Station For Electric Cars is Not Coming to Bay Ridge
Other parts of NYC are getting PLUGNYC electric chargers, but not Bay Ridge or South Brooklyn. (See info here)
Politicians have been very quiet about this. State Senator Andrew Gounardes should have been all over this as he doesn’t want people to drive large SUVs. He didn’t say a peep. Councilman Brannan didn’t tell his community why they were not included.

Bay Ridge Racetrack Continues – Gounardes’ Sleep Bill is a Flop
Night after night race car drives rev their engines in Bay Ridge.
Senator Andrew Gounardes Sleep Bill is useless because those racing through in the streets don’t care if they get a ticket. For maybe two nights this Summer it was quiet, but the race car drivers continue to zip through the neighborhood.
Gounardes should have know that tickets don’t deter people from continuing to drive like a maniac. Gounardes’ friend, Councilman Justin Brannan received 16 tickets for driving over the speed limit in red camera zones. (See here) People who don’t care about others, don’t have a problem paying a $50 ticket.
The police are fighting crime in Bay Ridge and aren’t available to watch the racetrack.
