This is so ridiculous!  Here is the first paragraph of the article:

Investigators said they believe 35-year-old James Beck died in the fire he set Friday after federal agents tried to serve him with a search warrant. Los Angeles County Deputy Jake Kuredjian, a 17-year veteran assisting the agents, was killed in the incident.

Here is a paragraph farther down in the article:

Negotiators had been in touch with him by telephone, trying to get him to peacefully surrender, before the fire swept through the home. Deputies had lobbed a couple of tear gas canisters at the home shortly before the fire broke out, but the cause of the fire remains unknown.

In one breath, he sets the fire, in the next breath, the cause of the fire is unknown??

[-!-]Damn pinko commie media whores![-!-]

Ahh, that feels better!

No FMJunkie they are just incompitent.  

However the intent of the media mogels that continue to hire these obvious idiots is rather more questionable.

Sensationsalism sells, facts just get in the way. How many times on your local news do they have a flashy headline, then you watch the story and it has very little to do woth the headline?? the mainstream media has accepted tabloid journalismn.

Yep, that about covers it.[pissed]

Why in the hell is the  Media calling the lateMr. Beck a " SNIPER " ?  Freaking liberal scum.

Also,  does anyone think that fire might have been caused by the Thugs incendiary tear gas rounds.....doh !!!!!
