PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A 34-year-old transient is being held on $250,000 bail after being charged with arson in connection with a house fire in Portland.
Police said Joshua Welch is accused of setting a fire to a Veranda Street home on Saturday afternoon.
The house sustained minor damage. Nobody was injured.
The Portland police and fire departments are investigating.
So did he really light the place afire intentionally, or just a disoriented cluck on bath salts thinking he wanted to stay warm? The damage is done either way and allegedly he did it. Point of curiosity…,
Welcome to Portland, sanctuary city of the north. Lots of programs, lots of
food, lots of housing and more on the way. Fugitives from justice need not
worry. Diversity is our aim and it is working well.
It seems to be on track that way. One downside to farming the needy for federal benefits is that they actually come and drive out working people and non-farming organizations. Another downside is that the needy get hooked on the support and find it hard to leave because they are isolated in an island of only dependent people, their migration in large numbers having driven any local opportunity away.
Perhaps the people running the federal programs would do better to just write checks to folks in place where they are rather than supporting all this agency overhead that uproots people.
The next stage in the cycle will most likely be what happens when the federal funding is cut or found to be unsupportable. Then those whose vocation involves supporting (read farming) the needy become unemployed and needy themselves just as the system collapses under it’s own weight. Not a good thing to be around.
Portland is working hard to become a black hole of dependency.
