Arson suspect says he got thrill from seeing firefighters, police rush to scene

Crazy ..

Psycho! This pervert should be life sentenced!!! Learn to pay respect to our paramedics and firefighters in jail!

That's a totally new fetish!!! Where else could it have come than Akihabara

Luckily he didn't go further than garbage bins and not to buildings. He needs help and a way out of being homeless.

He also said it was the first time anyone had made a fuss over him.

I think that sentence explains it all...

Jack, he is not homeless anymore!

Pyromania though is more than just a crime. It is also a impulse control disorder along with kleptomania, compulsive gambling and others. As such, he needs to seek help and get professional assistance. Unfortunately there are misconceptions about mental illnesses. We should never judge a human or make them feel inferior for having a mental disorder and treat them with respect and dignity. Be grateful that you don't suffer from any mental illness.

Petty arson is surprisingly common in Japan.

Homeless at 26. That's sad. Hopefully he gets some help to get back on his feet.

@Garthgoyle i am sure he'll meet some interesting people in jail whom will give him new job oppurtunities

Yuki, you give the homeless a bad name.
