the arson investigators were probably deeply closeted bimen, they were trying to act like a Flag waving Texan to hide their secret lives at highway rest stops.

An arson investigator wants to know about the victim, so he might determine who the victims enemies might be; seems like he was asking reasonable questions. He also might be trying to determine if the victim himself might be the arsonist; that happens. And to be honest, if you don't want your extreme views to be noticed, don't wear them on your sleeve. Reminds me of a group of mohawk-wearing punks I saw in Austin in the 90's, looking like refugees from The Road Warrior and yelling "What are you looking at?"

Yeah, why should these guys be so freaking sensitive? Just because they lost their livelihood and property and were probably pretty upset, that's no reason to be defensive when someone is questioning their entire belief system. Jeesh.

Investigators are there to figure out what happened, not to make friends. Don't you guys watch CSI? Seriously, interrogation tactics may be abrupt and rude, but the above comments and story (unless there's more than we've been told) hardly qualify as "harrassment." Making much ado in the press, then saying that they won't file a complaint doesn't impress me, either.
