(Case source: Observer.com)
A woman was eating hot pot in a restaurant with a friend, and suddenly saw something similar to a reed hanging on the wall, and suddenly became interested!
I don't know what the woman was thinking, but she actually took out a lighter and lit the ornament.
However, she never expected that after the decorations were ignited, the fire would get out of control! The woman was startled and hurriedly retreated!
At first, the man sitting opposite the woman did not stop her, but just watched with a smile as she set the ornament on fire.
It wasn't until the fire was raging that the man realized that the situation was not good, and quickly put out the fire with water, but to no avail.
Seeing that the matter was getting bigger, the woman grabbed her purse, turned around and ran, not even thinking of putting out the fire, not even calling on others to put out the fire.
Moreover, once the fire spreads, if it is not extinguished in time, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Fortunately, the staff in the store are professionally trained, and he sprayed the wall with a fire extinguisher a few times, and with the help of other customers, he finally put out the fire!
After learning the ins and outs of the fire, the shop owner called the police!
This matter also sparked a big discussion among netizens on the Internet, and many netizens accused the woman of "too cheap hands!" ”
It has also been said that women lack the basic principles of human beings, no matter how curious they are, they cannot ignite ornaments, and they should be punished as felonies, otherwise others will follow suit.
Many others said that the woman's actions were intentional arson and should be severely punished.
However, it was also considered that the woman's conduct was a fire offence, and the sentence was therefore lenient as appropriate.
How should this matter be viewed from a legal point of view?
The crime of arson, that is, the crime of arson, refers to the act of deliberately setting fire to public and private property, endangering public safety.
The crime of fire refers to the act of negligently causing a fire, endangering public safety, causing injury or death, or causing major losses to public or private property.
The difference between the two is that one is subjective and the other is objective, but the two are basically similar in sentencing.
According to article 114 of the Criminal Law, whoever endangers public safety by arson and has not yet caused serious consequences shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than 10 years.
If serious consequences are caused, the highest level is punishable by death.
However, the establishment of the crime of fire requires that the fire cause a fire, causing serious injury or death to others or causing major losses to public and private property, endangering public safety.
In this case, the woman's actions did not cause significant injuries, so they did not constitute the crime of fire. If the woman in this case had been motivated by curiosity and subjectively did not intentionally set the fire, she might not have been criminally punished.
However, his behavior may be suspected of endangering public safety and intentionally destroying property, and he will be punished by public security administration.
In addition, from a moral point of view, the woman's behavior is obviously a manifestation of a lack of moral responsibility. To put it bluntly, the act of lighting decorations with lighters is completely immoral to choose to flee the scene after the fire without calling for help.
