Arsonist sets fire to City Paper editor's house

Editor doesn’t get paid enough to have enemies!

We don’t usually use this space for editorials—you have to buy the print magazine for the written wrath. But the editor wishes to use this space to alert the thieves who have broken into his house five times that they will not prevail. And early Wednesday morning, when they set fire to the house he’s building—in this case they should know a little fire won’t discourage him, either. The editor will rebuild, even if takes hiring Falck to place snipers on his rooftop. But snipers won’t be needed, because beginning this week, Aunt Virve will move into the bottom floor apartment. And the crazy old gal is armed.
