Ah the common clay of the new west.

Book club. This is what happens when Jonathan Franzen fans can’t get their usual meeting room at the local library.

From all appearances a drug addicted and possibly homeless loser was able to set it on fire using some trash, and that’s a pretty low bar to clear in terms of capability and resources.
