Maybe you guys should wait until there's evidence of arson before you jump to conclusions.

I highly doubt this was arson. Saturday is their busiest night of the week--they gross thousands on a Saturday and the line is usually out the door around 7 PM. Arson fires break out at 4 in the morning--not 5 in the afternoon when the place is full of customers. One death from smoke inhalation would wipe out any insurance recovery and then some, and land the owner in jail for murder if proveable. No one torches a business with customers inside.

The owners are independently wealthy local developers and don't need to torch a place to rescue a failing business.

I'm shocked that someone in law enforcement would engage in reckless speculation before all of the facts are in, Swimmer. Larry shooting from the hip? That I expected. You? I'm disappointed.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
