Glad to see that convicting homeless alcoholics for accidentally burning down a neglected abandoned eyesore is a priority. Should've let the entire m*fker burn for pure entertainment value, then arrest Guttman for being a sleazy developer.

ABC Girl is f*cking dumb. Read the thread that Vin posted above. Stop spewing dumbass comments "ABC Girl" and go back to the drudge report....

Readers, this is what ABC Girl is referring to above on Kyle: http://www.gothamist.com/archives/2006/06/08/brooklyn_beauty.php#comments Please read all their comments, and you'll see obviously that is not what he's advocating. It's pretty pathetic for ABC Girl to distort and blast someone's comment in ANOTHER post, first time I've seen this...

Beware females who read Gothamist: There's some guy --posing as KYLE --trolling this site claiming it's ok for women who are alone to let men into their apt/place of business/etc so they can be raped or robbed: next time you see him trolling, please give him a piece of your mind....

Oh I totally believe he was an accomplice...still way to neat and clean for Guttman. However, the slow-burning fire just MIGHT explain the huge explosive sound we heard coming from the direction of the scene the previous evening.

There is free education. But you have to attend to get it! Remember, it takes a village!

The guy did start a huge fire while looting a building. He's lucky no firefighters were killed or injured while putting out his "accident."

If you've been in this city for more than 10 years, you'll know there's something fishy about this case. Solving an arson crime in record time, and now looking for his accomplice, I say by the end of the weekend. I want to see the stats on arson cases and how many are solve this quickly. look at the guy, a french blue shirt and white jeans? (look at the cop a black shirt and a white suit) burning off insulation? Let the recycler do that and get your money ASAP.

Does anyone honestly believe that these guys are guilty?

ain't that the truth, are we in NYC or bumtown, burning tires, stripping insulation off copper wires. now I've heard everything. I thought the NYC building code required ROMEX.

That's what happens when you hire alcoholics to do your dirty work for you. Poor old grandpa.

Dennis, I agree. I'm not usually the bleeding-heart, feel terrible for the homeless guy kind of gal, but this seems like an accident that got way out of control. The fact is, that had the building been kept up properly, this would never have happened. The Guttman family is probably thankful for this fire anyway, as now they can get insurance money and begin the redevelopment they wanted.
