wtf is up with these passively-worded headlines? They saw the guy pour out fuel and light it!
Everyone is a suspect or accused until convicted. That’s how you avoid libel lawsuits

Headlines about someone getting shot don’t say “Unauthorised discharge of a firearm suspected as cause of bullet entering [person]'s head”
Plus, the local police department just went out and directly called it arson.
This is how journalism has worked in the modern world, idk why you think it’s such a big deal?
They arrested a suspect. It’s a headline post elsewhere on Lemmy.
He just saw a spider nest and was trying to fix it for them.
