Hey America, here is some regional news for you. In South Eastern Pennsylvania the town of Coatesville has been an area where people have seriously been sleeping in clothes on the first floor of their homes for easy exit due to an arsonist. Over 17 fires started. No clues, no idea of who did it. But it has terrified everyone.
Well they have not yet caught the bastard. But wait! They better reconsider their profile of the type arsonist they are searching for. Why? Because a similar spree started in nearby Upper Darby Pennsylvania. And there they have caught the culprit.
It's not some bitter nasty guy. It was of all things a kid! And a girl at that! A 19 year old girl.
In one night Amanda Gessner started 7 fires! From 3 am to 6 am she was even spotted at the fire scenes taking pictures with her camera phone.
What bothers me is that she had the nerve to look sad and somber in her mug shot. The big quote from her? Well, she sang it... "The fire company is going to be mad at me." No kidding. This is the mentality of an arsonist? 'Gee I'm sorry, you must be really mad.' It get's better. When doing the perp walk to the police cruiser she had the nerve to tell reports filming her.... "Leave me alone!"
For now people in Coatesville must still sleep in their clothes as authorities do not think Gessner is linked to those fires.
So Amanda Gessner, enjoy your 15 minutes of fame. Next stop jail. Try burning that down.
