"I started the wedding because of circumstances that made it impossible for me to go through the fire. I started the fire because of circumstances that made it impossible for me to go through with the wedding."

Hell hath no fury like two women at a weenie roast!

So, he went from the frying pan into the fire...as it were ;-)

Kawada: "I started the fire because of circumstances that made it impossible for me to go through with the wedding."

A man is only as faithful as his options and if he runs across a woman who turns him on at that moment. Welcome to the adult world. However, stupid people should not play with fire.

No, not a pimp. Just an idiot. A real pimp would've gone through with the wedding and invite the first wife to the nijikai!

His is sick in his head, and not smart at all. He should try to keep both of them, to enjot his life. Now he will be left with nothing, and he can look forward to marry an inmate.

My friends and their 3 year old daughter were staying in this hotel at the time it happened. They were up out of their beds at 2am because of the fire alarm. Whatever his reasons for what he did this total $&&#!"# put innocent peoples lives at unnecessary risk. He deserves a major kick in the pants.

kirakira25. So he should be arrrested for endangering lives too, then.

He did the right thing,under the circumstances,so leave him be. It`s hard to keep two women on the go at the same time.

He succeeded. I guess he hasnt made his decision yet...

If they were smart, his wife would divorce him and his mistress, leave him. That would solve all his problems!

Molenir - Agreed. Maybe this pyromaniac can find a dumpster outside of the city to set afire (preferably not too far from the jail cell he'll be staying at) so he can contemplate his thoughtless actions.

isn't that attempted murder?

What are you guys talking about? This isn't a question of how many women he can realistically keep on the go, it's a question of how many he can be married to at one time! He couldn't go through with this wedding because he was ALREADY MARRIED, a fact that would be revealed to his squeeze and her entire family as soon as they tried to register the marriage at the ward office, possibly resulting in him being prosecuted. Yes, Hugh Heffner is notorious for his virility, but he is not a bigamist, he has only ever been MARRIED to one woman at a time. The time is passed for this moron to decide which woman he wants, it's time for them each, individually, to decide whether they want to live out their lives with a convicted arsonist.

This is just strange strange strange. If you are already married wouldn't you have learned your lesson? Guess he should have just set himself on fire.
