Burn the DJ

This is one of those stories I can't help but love:

A volunteer at a community radio station set fire to the station because he was upset that his song selections for an overnight Internet broadcast were changed, police said.

Paul Webster Feinstein, 24, has been charged with second-degree felony arson for the January 5 fire that caused $300,000 damage to the studios of 91.7 FM KOOP. He faces from two to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.

Feinstein told investigators that he was "very unhappy" about the changes to his playlist, said Austin Fire Department Battalion Chief Greg Nye. The songs were intended for an Internet broadcast that occurs when the station is off the air.

Wait, here's the best part:

Feinstein was a jazz fan and his Internet program was called "Mellow Down Easy," Dickens said.

the thing i understand least about this is why the law can't seem to narrow down sentencing. so is the possible two years awarded the person who committed the crime because their feelings were hurt and the twenty years to the person who did it to cause hurt? makes no sense to me.

i probably would have written a letter, not lit a match. hmm. makes you wonder who's got kerosene in their hip pocket.
