What do you think motivates people like Amanda Gessner to commit crimes of arson?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

M$I think if you look beyond what she sang--"The fire department is going to be mad at me"--you will be looking too deep into it. Some people are amused by chaos and the thrill of knowing that he or she is behind a large incident that causes havoc for numerous people (fire dept., families, etc.); Robert Hanssen comes to mind, the prolific CIA spy who is dramatized in the movie 'Breech'. In the movie when asked his motivation he says "consider the human ego; all those people running around, wondering who did it, while you know it's you". You can lean on psychobabble lingo to describe it, but I think that is facile and misleading. Boredom, a troubled and unstable life, a criminal tendency--those are all it takes I think to create such a scenario. FULL DISCLOSURE: She is beautiful, I was smitten beyond words by her mugshot.
