At the height of a Christmas morning argument, a Schenectady man intentionally set fire to his girlfriend's apartment in the city's historic Stockade district, police said.

Roopnarine Pillai, 29, is charged with one count of arson in the second degree and one count of violating an order of protection, a police spokesman said. He was arraigned before a city judge, and remanded to the Schenectady County Jail.

What do they call him for short? Roop? Nice guy...NOT.


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

SCHENECTADY
Man accused in Stockade fire
Overnight blaze displaces 8 residents

    Pillai is accused of lighting articles of clothing on fi re in a third-floor apartment bedroom at the North Perry Street apartments. Police said Pillai started the fire with a lighter after arguing with his girlfriend, who lived there.
    The building's fire alarms alerted residents of the other apartments. Police said a patrol officer found Pillai near the apartment.
    Firefighters broke the third floor windows to put the fire out, spraying glass and debris along the road and sidewalk in front of the building.
    A resident of the apartment building, who declined to give his name, said he spent part of Christmas cleaning up the mess outside. β€œI live here, so I don't want to have to look at this stuff forever and be reminded of this,” he said. β€œIt's already going to be a Christmas I won't forget.”

Not just once, but multiple times this was mis-spelled in the Gazette.

More accuracy in reporting, eh?

Roop lived at 13 State Street aka {YMCA}. For many years Stockade residents have tried to get this closed down. It is destroying the neighborhood. Krats refuse to do anything about it. They moved Bethesda House but will not address this.
