But the second rule is almost as important: Don\u2019t set yourself on fire.<\/p>\n<p>There is some question as to whether Artemio Sanchez-Ortega has ever been a member of Arson Club, however, as police suspect he is the man who poured gasoline on his ex-girlfriend\u2019s property in Albuquerque, then lit a match and it \u2014 and himself \u2014 aflame.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure what the third rule of Arson Club is, but if it\u2019s not \u201cDon\u2019t get caught on camera committing arson,\u201d it probably should be.<\/p>\n<p>And \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 the suspect in this case managed to break that one too.<\/p>\n<p>Albuqueque\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kob.com\/new-mexico\/video-man-allegedly-sets-ex-girlfriends-home-on-fire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KOB<\/a> shared a neighbor\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/surveillance-footage-shows-incredibly-disturbing-attempt-kidnap-4-year-old-walmart-sheriff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/video-shows-woman-lighting-orthodox-church-on-fire-days-before-it-burned-to-the-ground\/\" title=\"Video Shows Woman Lighting Orthodox Church On Fire Days Before It Burned To The Ground\">video surveillance footage<\/a><\/a> that showed the suspect fleeing the scene.

So far, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI kind of had to laugh at the sort of amateur hour situation there, if you\u2019re going to commit arson, try to do it without setting yourself on fire,\u201d neighbor Daniel Provine told KOB. \u201cFeel like that dude got what he deserved a little bit in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope they find that guy and take care of business, that\u2019s about really all I can say,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koat.com\/article\/man-sets-ex-girlfriends-home-on-fire-albuquerque\/61045023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KOAT<\/a>, the suspect drives a White Chevy Silverado with Texas license plate 1C0-2721, chrome rims, black fender flares and a black horizontal stripe.<\/p>\n<p>I can only hope that the suspect isn\u2019t carrying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/harrowing-footage-young-family-carjacked-driveway-gunfire-rings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a firearm<\/a> when police inevitably catch up to him.
