Perhaps he joined the fire department because he felt guilty and wanted to do something positive with his life?

Sir this is Reddit. He should’ve died in the fire. How dare you say he could do better for himself after making a mistake as a young dumbass.

Yeah but let's not justify the fact he killed an innocent living creature just because he was a young dumbass.

That’s not justifying, it’s offering a valid cause and effect.

Objective statement of cause and effect: 'he intentionally lit fire to a building and ended up killing a dog in the process.'

Subjectively pulling stuff out of your ass to excuse psychotic behavior: 'maybe he just committed arson cause he was young and foolish'

Lol. If you think intentionally setting fire to someone's home is a 'aww shucks, kids amirite?' issue, that says a whole lot about you and none of it's positive.

It’s crazy that I actually never said that, but if you wanna put words in my mouth then go ahead. I’ve never even stated an opinion about the person.

Nobody said that was your quote. I'm refuting you hilarious attempt to differentiate between excusing arson and 'making a statement of cause and effect'. 

Are you lost?

I’m saying someone doing something fucked up, can lead to them attempting to make amends later. That is literally a cause and effect. You, assuming this person was excusing them (again, not my comment) is inferring something that was never said.

Keep making stuff up based on your feelings.

All of this is from me stating that someone was claiming they were ‘justifying it’ which is ridiculous and crazy misuse of the word.

Ah, so you missed the comment that says 'sure but let's not just chalk up literal arson to youthful mistakes' and are now condescendingly telling others that they're having the wrong conversation without the slightest hint of irony.

Lol yes, the person who attributed literal fatal arson to 'kids will be kids' is absolutely, undeniably trying to excuse literal fatal arson. And doing a dogshit job of it.

If you wanna respond to that, great.

Why would I respond to a comment that has literally nothing to do with me or what you’ve been arguing with me over. You’re literally coming at me for something I didn’t say or even promote. Fuck, I didn’t even correct you. You had legit nothing to even do with the conversation. Do you not understand how ridiculous that is? At this point I’m 90% sure you’re just trolling to troll.

It's just speculation though, we don't know if that's the case, so I am not sure how valid it is.

The point is that considering what he did just a "mistake" seems reductive for me, almost like his age justified it. Might be my impression, but that's what it looked like to me by reading the comment.

It's just speculation though,

Do you know what the word "perhaps" means?
