Suspects set themselves ablaze while attempting to set a building fire, officials say (kold.com)

A couple of boneheads.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK) - Authorities in California say two arsonists were caught on camera accidentally setting themselves on fire.

Surveillance video reportedly captured the two suspects wearing dark clothing and pouring what appeared to be gasoline on the ground and onto the side of a building.

The Kern County Fire Department said it was initially called on Monday about a ground fire that was outside of a small business.

However, the surveillance video told fire officials a different story, showing two suspects trying to set fire to an immigration service business.


Authorities said the video showed one of the suspects catching fire after dousing gasoline on the building and igniting a flame.

“The footage is quite dramatic, and we hope that these individuals are identified quickly,” said Kern County Fire Department Capt. Andrew Freeborn.

Fire officials said crews extinguished the flames in about 10 minutes but there were no signs of the suspects involved.

I read so much false crap on the internet I don't know why anyone bothers with it, especially because a lot of this is easily fact checked. Like original tacos compared to US gringo tacos in the 80s, compared to US gringo tacos today, what video game console a game series started on, if something is legal or not or what year something happened. And that's before all the puritan, prudish, uptight, holier than thou garbage like saying liking a movie that provides for miles of philosophical depth is a warning sign that you're probably not a good person. And, yeah, as far as I can tell the internet is just as bad as church when it comes to shame and guilt and insisting we're all bad people.

I think the education system isn't properly doing their job.

I say this having made my way though normal school, then spending some time in college (in the past).

Putin's call for Orthodox Christmas truce in Ukraine greeted with scepticism | Reuters

KYIV/BAKHMUT, Ukraine, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin called on Thursday for a 36-hour ceasefire in Ukraine to mark Orthodox Christmas, a move rejected by Kyiv which said there could be no truce until Russia withdraws its troops from occupied land.

The United States and Germany made a joint announcement to supply Ukraine with armoured combat vehicles, a boost for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy who has urged Western allies to provide his forces with armour and heavy weapons for months.

Earlier on Thursday, the Kremlin said Putin had told Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan that Moscow was ready for peace talks - but only under the condition that Ukraine "take into account the new territorial realities", a reference to Kyiv acknowledging Moscow's annexation of Ukrainian territory. Ukrainian presidential adviser Mikhailo Podolyak called that demand "fully unacceptable".

MEAT GRINDER
Ten months after Putin ordered what he calls a "special military operation" to protect Russian security, Moscow and Kyiv have entered the new year with hardened diplomatic positions.

Putin has shown no willingness to discuss relinquishing his territorial conquests, despite mounting losses among his troops.

While some of the heaviest fighting of the war continues, the front line has been static since the last big Russian retreat in mid-November. The worst battles have taken place near the eastern city of Bakhmut, which both sides have compared to a meat grinder.

Ukraine says Russia has lost thousands of troops despite seizing scant ground in months of futile waves of assaults on Bakhmut. Russia says the city is key to its aim to capture the rest of Donetsk province, one of four partially occupied regions it claims to have annexed.

Near the front, Reuters saw explosions from outgoing artillery and smoke filling the sky.

“We are holding up. The guys are trying to hold up the defence,” said Viktor, a 39-year-old Ukrainian soldier driving an armoured vehicle out of Soledar, a salt-mining town on Bakhmut's northeastern outskirts.

Most civilians have been evacuated from Bakhmut. Those who have stayed survive under near constant bombardment, with no heat or electricity. Parts of the city are a wasteland, with sections of residential apartment blocks flattened into concrete piles.

The Russians blamed their soldiers for using cellphones which allowed the Ukrainians to target their missiles at them. Why would they be using their cellphones in a war zone anyway?

Reminds me of a story I heard from a Civil War re-enactor. He said that someone pulled out a cellphone during Pickett's Charge.
