Theoretically it brings the standard from “guilt demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt” to “preponderance of evidence”.

It just has to be more likely than not that it’s crime money, as determined by the totally impartial courts.

Yeah. If "beyond a reasonable doubt" is somewhere around like 95% certainty, preponderance of evidence is more like 51%

Very obviously written by themselves in the most resentful, passive-aggressive tone possible

Serious note: it sounds like the person who started the fire is homeless and has a history of mental health and drug abuse issues, so I'm sure Fox will hype up something about antifa supersoldiers and the War on Christmas.

Also a Christmas tree is basically the single easiest thing to burn. (Source: my backyard every February after we spent January repeatedly forgetting to borrow somebody's pickup truck )

A dry christmas tree is an absolutely scary fire hazard. Back when my family still bought christmas trees they'd put a bucket of water next to them, but if you've seen how they light up you know how laughably inadequate that is.

If you aren't standing next to it when it catches fire you aren't going to put it out.

The ones I've seen do, but if you don't stay on top of it, the tree can easily drink up to the point where the water level is too low to get to the tree.
I usually end up watering mine a ton for the first couple of days, then I just need to top it off every 2 or 3 days until the end of the year.

I'm guessing also that Americans just have bigger trees. Like the one in the video is huge.

Even the trees are obese in America

But actually lots of homes have entryways and common areas that have very high ceilings and lots of Christmas trees are much bigger than that one. Lots of 10+ foot trees

That one looks a little bigger than most I remember seeing in homes in the US, but not by all that much. Haven't actually seen a non-plastic Christmas tree indoors in like 20 years though, so my memory could be exaggerating.

Yes, but often people forget to water them, especially after Christmas. The US is unique in that way, in that people forget things.

Why not put it in the bucket of water? If the bucket's bigger than the tree, it'll be fine

I've never had a christmas tree, and I had no idea that a) you're supposed to water it, or b) putting a tree in water like you do cut flowers was even an option. Everything I know about christmas customs came from the media, and for some reason, hallmark christmas romcoms never include watering the tree in their festive montages.

But yeah, I've definitely done some precarious poo poo with my menorah (leaving curtains dangling above it being the big one).

Every hallmark Christmas movie implicitly ends with the house burning down during the end credits because the characters are unaware of this need

On Christmas Eve at 11:00 pm the fireplace turns into a hungry mouth and you put rodents into it one at a time and it chews them loudly. You do this until it is satisfied or else it will not let the fat gift elf into your home

I'm aggressively wrong about everything!

This is great to hear after the fact, but what's getting me is imagining how someone in that club would feel to look over and see the prime minister.

Or even better, the inevitable moment where some guy's hitting on her without recognizing her, and either gets the most insane answer to 'so what do you do' or, later, the equally insane answer to a friend asking him 'do you know who that is'.

Wow there's a lot to digest on this page. :ohdearsass: Conspiracy to participate in Christmas tree lighting ceremonies. Stealing people's property; what's next, their paintings and silverware? A side by side of a dry tree lit on fire and a watered tree... not. Even the Griswold Christmas tree has the scene where the dog is drinking the tree's water and they are plants you know. Elected officials that are people, oh my. And finally, people have for years demonstrated that they can't even wash their damned hands and annually get and spread the flu, and we expect any better with coronavirus.

Is there a community award for weirdest forum page. This one deserves a nomination.
