No Joke
Don't like the competition? A porn store seeks to torch a rival outlet:
"A Portland man paid by a porn peddler to torch a competing video store has been sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison.
Mark Fuston -- recovering Dead Head, Gypsy Joker biker gang member and onetime accused killer who says he's changed his ways -- faced just more than three years in federal prison for the March 27, 2003, arson.
Those who paid Fuston to burn down the future home of Taboo Video in Vancouver won't be serving any time for the arson. Fuston, 61, was the only defendant charged in the arson-for-hire plot; as the statute of limitations has passed, it seems he'll be the only one to face prison for the fire.
Also known as 'Mau Mau,' Fuston pleaded guilty to charges related to the Vancouver arson apparently committed at the behest of a rival porn shop owner. Federal prosecutors contended, and Fuston has admitted, he and another man were paid to set the fire."
