Woman Burns Friends House Down After She Deleted Her Off Facebook

Authorities in Iowa say a 30-year-old woman attempted to burn down a couple’s house last week in retaliation for being unfriended in Facebook. Jennifer Christine Harris, of Des Moines, is being held in Polk County Prison on $100,000 bond after she allegedly set fire to Jim and Nikki Rasmussen‘s garage, forcing the couple to flee their home in the middle of the night, the Des Moines Register reports.



The siding on the house melted and the garage roof collapsed, according to reports. The Rasmussens only managed to escape the blaze after a loud booming sound woke them up. “It was ablaze at 1 a.m. It was just totally engulfed,” neighbor Dominic Formaro told ABC News.


Police say that investigations show Harris’ motive was connected to an argument she and Nikki had over Facebook. “The two are no longer friends due to a dispute over Facebook,” Jim Rasmussen told officials with the Des Moines Police Department. “According to Nikki, Jen is angry with her because she ended their friendship on Facebook.”


According to Detective Jack Kamerick, the dispute had much to do with a Facebook event the former-best friends were planning. “Jen asked Nikki to create an event on Facebook for a party. Nikki did that,” Kamerick told the Register. “As the date for the party approached there were a lot of ‘declines,’ on Facebook. It was looking like the party might be a bust. The dispute apparently blossomed.”


The tension between Harris and Nikki apparently became so great that when police asked the Rasmussens who might have wished to harm them, the couple immediately pointed the finger at their former friend.
Police charged Jennifer Harris with first degree arson.

Ya see, for some people what happens on Facebook mirrors what happens in real life. If we all communicated face to face, incidents like the above might not have happened.

I dont think it's a case of befriending looneys. How are we meant to know they are like that? I think it's more of a case of: dont befriend people you dont know.

Not to do with actual OP story but why do people actually delete people off facebook? Personally I never would just because they're in your friends list doesn't mean you have to interract with them. Its sad how people think that if they delete you off facebook that you are then deleted from their life:D

Not the case with me. I delete them because I consider Facebook to be a very personal corner. There are people I would like to share my personal stuff with and people I find I can not do that with but when I delete them it doesnt mean I delete their relationship which would be considered totally on a Non-close familial friendship basis.

Why befriend them in the first place you ask? well I never really took Facebook that seriously. But in all honesty it is like handing over to someone more than just your personal mobile phone number.

I wonder what she'd to to someone who gave her a dose of the clap?;);)

I have clearouts on facebook every so often (Well I did once ) The way I look at it is if I wouldn't stop to talk to someone on the street or meet up with them for tea or coffee, why would I be having them as friends on facebook?!
