The church is sure getting a lot of great publicity lately:
"Apparently he was shouting 'Mormon Mafia' and, when I ran up to try to put out the fire, he was running away from us and pushing us away," she said. "I could feel the heat coming off of him and I saw his skin and clothes burn off."

Diao said she also hoped the man would get the help he needed.

There were reports of papers that were scattered around the area as well as a possible manifesto. Some of the papers listed a website with references to Utah and the Mormon church, along with a number of observations that appear to reflect intense paranoia.

Looks like another tragic case of untreated or inadequately treated mental illness.

It doesn’t help that Mormonism does operate very similarly to a mafia. Defined as “ a closed group of people in a particular field, having a controlling influence.”

Accurately describes the Mormon leaders at the top of the hierarchy.
