A UC Irvine professor is accused of setting a series of fires at and around his son's high school before outlining plans in emails to kill teachers and students, Orange County prosecutors said.

In emails from April addressed to himself and his wife, Reinscheid allegedly planned to obtain firearms to murder students and administrators, commit sexual assault, burn down the school and then kill himself

Reincheid's 14-year-old son, Claas Stubbe, attended University High School. The teenager committed suicide in March, days after he was disciplined by school administrators for what Irvine Unified School District spokesman Ian Hanigan described as a "fairly minor" matter involving a theft from a student store. He was given trash pickup duty as a punishment.

Acquaintances say Reinscheid had been furious at University High School for how it handled his son's death.

"He was angry and unsatisfied with the investigation into his son's death,"

Man didn't have a firm grasp on reality. I wonder about his background, i.e. political affiliations, etc.

Heh heh. If this had happened at UC Berkely I'd be willing to take an uninformed guess and lay money on being correct about it!

Those of us on the Right are typically bludgeoned, in some connective manner, when something evil happens. Like to share the wealth.

We obviously need stricter match control laws.

I propose we require a background check and a strict one book per day limit on matches.
If you want to purchase a lighter or lighter fluid, that will require a federal license similar to the one required for automatic weapons.

Correct. Each box of matches should require a $200 tax stamp. Hopefully you don't need fire right now, we'll need at least a few months to review your application. If you want a fully automatic fire machine (lighter, other assault igniter) this will take substantially longer.
