Instant Karma! Arsonists Set Themselves On Fire While Burning Down California Immigration Center
On Monday (January 2), a Ring security camera captured two unidentified masked individuals walking up to a business, which happened to be the Servicio De Inmigración in Bakersfield, California.
The business provides immigration and naturalization services to its customers. In the surveillance footage that captured the suspects, upon approaching the building, they are seen dousing the structure with what is presumed to gasoline or some kind of lighter fluid.

As soon as one of the pair of suspects tries to ignite the fluid, immediately both suspects become engulfed in flames. Now that they’re both on fire, both men then try to run away with the flames following them both.
Meanwhile, the owner of the Servicio De Inmigración, Max Solorzano, said the city should be held accountable for the actions of the two suspects and for failing to protect the small businesses in the area.
Solarzano said, “They have to work harder in that aspect, in keeping the community safe. We are a small business and we help many people, so there will be people who will not be able to receive our services due to inactivity.”

The business has since been forced to close until further notice, and they owners have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help them pay for the damages.
The company has raised $15,910, after surpassing their original goal of a $5,000.
