Ore. arsonist targets 1990s green Ford Escorts
Medford police sergeant says it’s clear the arsonist doesn’t like car model
MEDFORD, Ore. - An arsonist is apparently on the prowl for green Ford Escorts from the 1990s. Three of them have been burned in recent weeks, a series of acts that Medford police Sgt. Mike Budreau described as “pretty bizarre.”
A 1995 green Ford Escort was destroyed by flames early Sunday morning after someone broke a window and poured flammable liquid into it. A similar fire was set in a 1993 green Ford Escort parked in a driveway on Feb. 22.
Investigators have also uncovered a Feb. 2 case of a 1992 green Ford Escort damaged by a plastic container filled with flammable liquid placed next to a tire that burned without setting the car afire.
Budreau told the Mail Tribune newspaper in Medford, “I think this person really doesn’t like Ford Escorts.”
“Say your prayers, half-breed!” [sounds of gunshots]
“Hey Harry. Look at this. What’s the matter with these cans?”
“Die, milk-face!” [sounds of gunshots]
[laughing] “These cans are defective! They’re springing leaks! Come over here and look at this!” [sounds of gunshots]
“Listen, you better run for cover, or you’re gonna spring a leak!”
“Huh?”
“We don’t have defective cans, we have a defective person out there!” [sounds of gunshots]
“He hates these cans! Stay away from the cans!”
“Die, gas-pumper!” [sounds of glass shattering]
"Get away from those cans! [sounds of gunshots] There’s cans in there too!
“Run! Run!”
[sounds of gunshots and glass shattering] “More cans!”
“Die, you bastard!”
[sound of glass shattering] “Aaah!”
“He doesn’t want to put holes in the cans, he wants to put holes in you!!”
“What?!” [sounds of gunshots]
Nahhh, most tempos commit suicide, no need for mass murder. I had one so I know I remember this lady honking at me to pull over. She said,“sir your wheel is about to fall off!!” I said. “oh its ok! my shock went through my trunk and the wheel is now crooked, but it wont fall off, but thank you!” She then proceeded to drive behind me like 20 car lengths back. ahh!! the good ol’ days of being broke…
