That is something that victims in these cases rarely get a chance to do. Alan really is a hero. He put his own pain and safety aside for his family. I hope he had peace when he left this world, because he deserved that. He did all that he could and then some. ❤❤❤

The neighbor who had a burnt, bleeding man show up on their porch, the grandkids left without grandparents, the wife who will find out she practically is living with a stranger and is in debt. Other family and friends. Not to mention the fireman, cops and whomever else had to witness the mother being burnt to death or the medical staff who did the treatment of the burnt man. Cops and attorneys that have to keep reviewing the horrible photographs. Etc. It's just so much bigger than the crime itself.😢

I've never suffered burns from fire quite like that, but I have suffered extremely bad sunburn and a friend/coworker of mine had a particularly nasty fire incident that left him with skin grafts. I would not wish either of those on anybody. In my case, I got the sunburn from hanging out at a beach all day. I had been applying sunscreen throughout the day, but it apparently sucked in water because my legs got cooked from the knees down. I could barely walk by the time I was headed home in the early evening. I literally could not wear pants or shoes for over a week, I had to find my highest cut shorts and a set of slide sandals... and even then I needed to pad the tops of my feet with gauze before I could put the sandals on. I remember my boss giving me shit about calling out of work after that, and I had my buddy drive me down to the store and showed him my legs. He was like "nah, you're good, sorry I doubted you". I'm a fair skinned white guy, there was a clearly marked line between where my shorts covered my upper legs and my lower red lobster legs, skin peeling off in sheets. Fun times. My coworker buddy on the other hand, well he got it bad. There was some bonfire party he was at, he got too fucked up and smashed his face on this toilet that was there for whatever reason. Then he literally fell into the actual fire and had to get dragged out. He was out for awhile, I remember him having to get his entire arm grafted with new skin and he wore a compression sleeve for like a year afterwards. Thankfully he made a full recovery but man...

she may be calm, but she asked ridiculous questions. “Go make yourself known” while keeping them on the landline phone,. She wants to know how the fire started, even though the woman said she had no idea what happened and she was woken up to the man knocking on her door. Bloody ridiculous.

Sociopath. I have a family member like that, nobody talks to them anymore because even though they haven't actually done something like this, nobody is comfortable pretending they wouldn't if the reward was tempting enough. All the pettiness and ego of an adult with the selfish impulsivity of a 3 yr old and the morality of a shark. Just like this guy... because he couldn't bear to resist overspending and didn't want to admit how bad he'd messed up because people would be mad. Oh, the "horror". He might get scolded. Or divorced and disowned. Someone might even yell, or make him work more and pay it back. My goodness, such "cruelty". So compared to that, his mom and step-dad dying in agony from one of the worst ways to go was an okay substitute? What a piece of crap. He's lucky he's Canadian or he would've probably been put to death in the US.
