But did the spider survive??? And was PETA called to investigate? And what about a class-action lawsuit against the spray can and lighter manufacturers for not posting a warning about potential fires while trying to kill a spider? This could be big!
This guy is a complete moron. This proves that you cannot save people from themselves. I would enjoy reading the claims report from his Insurance company.
No. It was an intentional act to try to kill the spider, but not to burn down the house. Similar to corporal punishment being an intentional act, but not the causing of injury.
See ‘Murrica, this is why we needs gunses. An intruder comes to yer door and bang! This house ain’t burning up if he just had some 2nd amendment freedom muscles.
Liberals don’t need guns. They buy their food or grow it. They don’t get spooked out after watching Red Dawn, Rocky IV or any other Russian themed film. They go to gyms and work out and don’t rely on guns for defense, they can fight for themselves. Even yoga or zumba instructor can defend themselves or doesn’t look for trouble. Even a republican that works out at Curves or Planet Fitness should be able to take car of business. This is the same argument made 6000 years ago with “spear control” only we “tend” to be more civilized now.
A broom mash, a shoe stomp, maybe even spraying the spider directly with the paint…would have sufficed? I’m just saying. And if someone starts a class action suit for their own ignorance and makes $…WOW how screwed up are we?
Well this took place in Seattle so it’s more likely than not the guy is a Liberal. The fact that he tried to “kill it with fire” might indicate that he’s a hipster idiot with no sense of real life consequences.
Hipsters are more on the Libertarian side of the political equation. A Branch Davidian off shoot of the Republican Party. Only they were “neato” glasses, ride old fashion bikes, and have a lot of tats.
Well, at least it was a colorful fire!

Can’t exclude stupid.
As my wife alwasy says (she is a claims rep) “We insure stupidity.”
Yup. As I always say, there no stupidity exclusion!
That’s why people buy insurance!
I guess the guy watched “Arachnophobia” a few too many times.
Well, there’s your plantiff with the deepest pocket. Sue the movie studio for inciting stupidity.
They mean Seattle, Texas right? Only this kind of stuff happens in the South Central News.
You’re a tool.
Thanks Destro. You’re a toy. I had you, but then turned 12 and gave up all things GI Joe.
You really need to read the full article. It is priceless.
It contains a picture of a spider with the following caption:
“The spider, a similar one pictured, is believed to be dead after the blaze consumed the entire wall.”

Awesome! Mission accomplished. Oops. Sounds familiar with a similar result.
Burning down the House!
Finally a Talking Heads reference. Nice work
How did I get this house?
The article says it was a rental. So much for getting his security deposit back. No worries about those pictures Mom insisted on hanging.
“There are safer, more effective ways to kill a spider than using fire,” Moore said. “Fire is not the method to use to kill a spider.”
Would this qualify as an occurrence, though? By definition it wouln’t qualify as an accident would it?
While it may not have been the intent to burn the house down, it was an intentional act, wasn’t it?
No. It was an intentional act to try to kill the spider, but not to burn down the house. Similar to corporal punishment being an intentional act, but not the causing of injury.

Wudda caused a lot less damage if he just use-ed one o’ them there shotgun thingies.
Are you saying he should have shot the spider instead of trying to set it on fire?
Brilliant!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Liberals should not own guns. They truly do lack the respect and appreciation needed to own one.
News flash. We don’t need guns. Liberal penises are plenty big without them.

They have areosol cans and matches!! What more would one need???
I am Inigo Spider. You killed my father. Prepare to die!

Soo…global warming?
The fact that he tried to kill it with fire might be an indicator of his age. He was 24. Slightly older than you, huh Destro?
