Part 10/13:
The community and victims are understandably upset and demanding accountability. Residents like Michael Jones express outrage, pointing out that Schwarz’s actions could have resulted in fatalities, especially among the elderly and children. Some have even suggested that cities could be liable for the damages due to their failure to properly screen and care for vulnerable populations in low barrier housing.
Schwarz remains in jail without bail as investigations continue. His defense questions the severity of the charges, but the facts remain clear: he started a dangerous fire that could have claimed multiple lives. Given the evidence, the argument for mental health intervention becomes even more compelling.
