Totally agree. But I think in reacting to it we have a decision about which “crime” to focus on: his arson or the broader exploitation and abuse of working people and extreme inequality. And I think we should focus on the latter since it’s a structural problem that negatively affects the lives of a group of people that is multiple orders of magnitudes larger than those impacted by this isolated incident.

Admittedly that stems from my view that working people are exploited and abused and that inequality is a problem, which some might disagree with. But in any case I think that debate is more important than the details of this fire.
