We all love to silently judge those who overshare on social media – you do too, don’t try and act like you’re better than the rest of us.
Well there’s updating everyone on every aspect of your life and then there’s just plain stupid, which is where we come across a certain Wayne Huntsman.
The idiot, who filmed himself starting a huge fire in California back in 2014, has now been sentenced to 20 years in jail and a monster $60 million fine, pleading guilty to arson this past weekend.
During the blaze a number of firefighters were injured, along with 12 homes being burned to the ground. Here’s Yahoo with more:
Prosecutors said Huntsman fled the scene of the fire and encountered a Good Samaritan who offered to give him a ride out of the area.
Huntsman showed the driver a selfie-style video he took of himself standing between two of the fire’s points of origin.
“Listen, I got fire all around me,” Huntsman says in the video, which was provided by the prosecutor’s office. “I’m stuck in the middle, babe.”
The driver made a recording of the video and turned it over to investigators, prosecutors said. Huntsman was arrested within days of the fire’s start.
Prosecutors say he was trying to come across as a hero, something that obviously hasn’t played out how he hoped.
If you’re still thinking that the Huntsman family don’t seem all that bad consider this: Wayne’s sister is currently awaiting trial for the murder of two young children whose bodies were found in a storage locker.
