Church Arson Suspect Likes Nietzsche and Bonfires

In one other report on the two young men arrested in connection with the fires in Texas, Jason Robert Bourque is said to have quoted Neitzsche on his Myspace page, which has now been removed from the internet.

According to the DMN Investigates blog, the quote said, "Never give way to remorse, but immediately say to yourself: that would merely mean adding a second stupidity to the first. -- If you have done harm, see how you can do good. -- If you are punished for your actions, bear the punishment with the feeling that you ARE doing good -- by deterring others from falling prey to the same folly. Every evildoer who is punished may feel that he is a benefactor of humanity."

It is also reported that on his Facebook page Bourque liked bonfires.
