ARSON!!!! THE MOORISH AMERICAN HALFWAY HOUSE BURNS!!! United States In the U.S., the common law elements of arson are often varied in different jurisdictions. For example, the element of "dwelling" is no longer required in most states, and arson occurs by the burning of any real property without consent or with unlawful intent.[12] Arson is prosecuted with attention to degree of severity[13] in the alleged offense. First degree arson[14] generally occurs when persons are harmed or killed in the course of the fire, while second degree arson occurs when significant destruction of property occurs.[15] While usually a felony, arson may also be prosecuted as a misdemeanor,[16] "criminal mischief", or "destruction of property."[17] Burglary also occurs, if the arson involved a "breaking and entering".[18] A person may be sentenced to death if arson occurred as a method of homicide, as was the recent case in California of Raymond Lee Oyler and in Texas of Cameron Willingham. Some states, such as California, prosecute the lesser offense of "reckless burning" when the fire is set recklessly as opposed to willfully and maliciously.[19] The study of the causes is the subject of fire investigation. Well in light of these facts the Moorish Americans in Colorado have endured a tremendous set back for it's Members arriving home. This Denver Fire was a total lost to the Moorish Americans in Colorado Territory, the Moorish American say that.
