Homeless Men Responsible for Greenpoint Fire

You’ve probably already heard by now, but the police arrested a one homeless guy and charged him with arson, burglary, reckless endangerment and petit larceny in last month’s massive fire at the Greenpoint Terminal Market; an accomplice was being sought. Supposedly, the fire started when the men tried to burn the insulation off some copper wire so they could resell it. Meanwhile, Joshua Guttman, still no angel in our book, was charged with 434 counts of “failure to maintain privately owned waterfront property” along with his son and four of their related companies. Guttman “feels vindicated in the fact that it’s now known he’s not the person who had anything to do with the fire,” said his attorney, Israel Goldberg.

Yeah right. Why would Gutman put himself in the position to be blackmailed by this homeless guy ? Your conspiracy theory is way too risky for a guy who is worth many millions like Gutman.
Probably Gutman paid the homeless either
to burn it down or to go to jail for nice some of money in keyman islands. The guy is homeless anyway, so prison is acutually an hotel for him. He goes to 3 years max and he will be out in one year and 500K
in the bank.

Agree with everyone: the poor shmuck does the time and the rich guy who actually profited sits at home laughing.
Fantastic. God bless America.
434 violations??? 434!!! It’s incredible!!
Probably nothing will happen to Gutman and the poor homeless guy will have the book thrown at him.
Very sad.
I warned you all at the start of this thing not to place blame too quickly. The real story here is the price of copper; it’s increased value is creating similar vandalism problems all across the country. Go here:

Now don’t get me wrong, I think Guttman is a creep. It’s dangerous, though, to pre-judge any set of circumstances.
That’s right, go after the homeless again. Unfortunately, this man is probably not in his right mind and could be blamed for the poor economy too. This is so sad.
