Student Actors = Arsonists

This story just doesn't seem make any sense to me. The outrage I have for the stupidity of all of this is overwhelming.

"Theatre Majors were burning down churches (nine of them!) because the first few were just a prank getting out of hand."

This makes no sense to me. What the hell sort of prank starts with just a couple of acts of arson? What the hell sort of prank ends with nine churches burning to the ground?

Read this excerpt from the article:

According to court filings, the first arsons started as "a joke" that got out of hand.

This is ridiculous. They should force these guys into rebuilding the churches by hand themselves and then lock them up and throw away the key.

And what business do theatre majors have with pranks like this? Shouldn't they be putting on a play or something?
