How crazy are you over Gundams?

So how many of you here has built a Gundam before? You know how much hard work it takes right? So imagine a scenario where your suspect your mom wants to throw it all away. Does that justify attempted suicide by trying to burn down your house with you inside? Apparently this man in Kasai city seems to think so.

Police in Kasai City near Kobe have arrested a 29-year-old factory worker named Yoshifumi Takabe on suspicion of burning down his own home on Sunday. The suspect reportedly doused his room with kerosene and lit it with a lighter around 2:10 p.m. on Sunday. The resulting fire eventually burned down the two-story house, which was about 250 square meters (about 2,700 square feet) and made partially from wood.

And if it wasn’t bad enough that he tried to kill himself,

His 55-year-old mother was also in the house but escaped without injuries. According to the police, the suspect said that his mother had gotten rid of his “valuable” Gundam plastic models, so he wanted to kill himself.

His mother could have been trapped in the house with him! I probably understand how frustrating it is to have all the hard work of building Gundams being throw down the drain, but to commit suicide by burning down your home? That’s just wrong. Thankfully his mom got out without injuries.

Now as a final note, please do not try this at home.
