Great local business leadership! The owners could have taken the insurance money and left town.

2-5 years for over million dollars damage, lives nearly ruined and the risking of hundreds of firefighters lives, completely shameful.

There should never be plea baragins, this asswipe should still be being gang raped somewhere in our prison system, or better yet, buried somewhere with matches stuffed up his rectum to remind him why he is there.

Wow, both guys got less than 3 years of jail time? Would they have received a more harsh punishment if it were a school, medical facility, or something like that? I think 1 1/2 to 3 years is very light punishment for such a harsh crime. Burning down a business like that is very serious, especially considering that it could have caused even more damage to other places in the vicinity. I think the justice system failed in this case. I hope the guys who did this made it up to the community and the owners of Schmuck, but I doubt it. Ignorance is bliss...

Congrats to Schmuck for picking themselves back up and rising above crime and adversity. I know someone who works for them and he's a good guy.
