A former college professor was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday for allegedly starting four wildfires in Northern California earlier this year, near the deadly Dixie Fire.
Gary Stephen Maynard, 47, faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count of arson to federal property, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California said in a statement.
The blazes threatened to trap firefighters as they battled the massive Dixie blaze - the second-largest wildfire in California history - nearby, prosecutors said.

He starts a fire and blames it on Global Warming. This one was actually Man made Global Warming. And he's the man.

This story, if true, fits right in with the theory that California professors, in general, are not qualified to shine shoes let alone teach the impressionable minds of children or young adults. It seems most wacko BS comes from the Left Coast.

He was so upset over the Kyle jury allowing a white supremacist to murder 5 other white men in a Rambo style killing spree he had no choice but to set some fires to create a safe space.
Short version: it's Trump's fault

The schools this creep "lectured" at must have some really low hiring standards. Couldn't get a job shoveling s - - t out of horse stables, so he gets a job teaching at a university.

How many lives have been destroyed because families lost everything. How many lives were in danger because he was lighting fires behind the firefighters (trapping them). This mentally deranged person belong in jail for LIFE. He is a pure danger to society.

FTA: "Maynard appears to have taught briefly at Santa Clara University and Sonoma State University, where a Gary Maynard was listed as a lecturer in criminal justice studies specializing in criminal justice, cults and deviant behavior."
Apparently he was teaching about himself. And he wasn't even tolerated as a part-time lecturer.

About time some of these "College Professor Criminals" are arrested. Couldn't happen to more deserving souls. Now. When will California start cleaning up the kindling that helps the firestarters get their fires going? California has the large raking equipment, they just don't use it. It's so much easier to blame the problems on Climate Change Bulls---.

We see liberals setting fires to boost their arguments.
We see blacks writing racist messages on churches to boost their arguments.
We see the press forming narratives with complete lies to boost their arguments.
Don't react to their false flags! Just roll your eyes and say, "there they go again".

Should be tried for attempted mass murder. Its no different than setting a bomb at a marathon. He should never be allowed to see the light of day ever again.

Are we to believe this manic started setting fires at age 47? Trace his movements in reverse to learn how many fires he is linked to. The FBI is all over this case with the 15 agents who investigated the noose at the race track. /sar

If he gets convicted, the sentences should be consecutive..one after the other, then we won't see any more of him..and I hope he gets 'Bubba' as a cell mate...

He needs to be tied to a stake in the middle of the fire and left to his punishment.
That would be justice and a lesson to others.

Frankly, this is one crime that I'd be perfectly happy to have upgraded to a 'always death penalty' status. These folks need to be permanently out of the gene pool and as the French say, "pour encourager les autres' which is just a classier sounding way of saying 'to deter others'.
I can't help but think that getting executed as a punishment wouldn't discourage some of these dangerous folks from their 'games'.

#1 pretty much says it for me. This professor needs the book thrown at their head, then the whole Cali college system needs to be torn down.

If this guy did this - why? Is he some sort of activist nut - a victim who believes all the global warming stuff and who wanted to 'spark' 'The Revolution'? Apparently he taught criminal justice (specializing in cults & deviant behavior) at Santa Clara University and Sonoma State University, They found him 'underneath' his truck a day before the fire - the Mail - as usual does not elucidate.
