The main reason the man Snopes burns barns is because the man is
crazy. He want to get some kind of revenge and this is the best way
he can succeed.One thing I don't like is how the boy supports his dad.
The father is wrong for making his son believe that this stupid idea
of barn burning is right. He did all this because someone stained his
rug. All i can say is that rug better have a lot of value for this man
to be so crazy in the head.
