In the latest edition of Play Stupid Games, we meet Edward Thomas Schinzing, 32. Good ole Eddie is currently facing federal arson charges for his part in attempting to burn down the Multnomah county Justice Center.
From a DOJ press release:
Three civilian Multnomah County employees were working inside the Corrections Records Office at the time and fled for safety as the windows were broken. Based on a preliminary review of publicly-available videos from YouTube, Twitter, surveillance cameras, and still photos posted online, about 30 individuals entered the Justice Center through the broken windows. The individuals spray-painted portions of the office; damaged computer and other office equipment, furniture, and interior windows; and started fires.
Seems pretty standard so far, but read on.
Among those who entered the Justice Center, Schinzing was identified by a comparison with a jail booking photo and a distinctive tattoo of his last name across his upper back. Schinzing spread a fire that started near the front of the office by lighting additional papers on fire and moving them into a drawer of a separate cubicle.
That’s right, he was identified by his back tat. The one that spells out his last name.

And what does Eddie win for playing his Stupid Games? Arson is punishable by up to 20 years in prison with a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years.
Way to go dumbass, you might have gotten away with it if you wore a shirt.
