Man tries to kill spider, sets house on fire instead

[Biernutz]

Spiders and snakes...they all need to die!

[Oh, Gee!!]

uhhh...it's just a spider...I don't think it has any rights or even the mental ability to 1) know what libel is and 2) to be able to work though the paperwork (or hire an attorney).

I'm pretty sure a human can't sue a spider, but I don't know of any law prohibiting a spider from suing a human

if he killed the spider, the article le is misleading ... instead implies he burned down his house and didn't kill the spider

The article le is technically correct. Had he killed it and someone asked "were you trying to do that?" he would have answered "yes" therefore he was trying to kill the spider.

me dead...

Cubansucks will be long shortly.

it should use the word "also" as opposed to "instead," is my point. of course the sentence would be rearranged a tad, but still. instead implies that he failed to kill the spider

Only if the headlines acknowledge that a dead spider was found in the charred remains of the home, and even then only if the perp ID'd said spider as the intended victim.

Which is why before I suggested the le changed I asked if the spider was killed
