Between 1982 and 1983, a group of eight police officers, firefighters and regular civilians set between 163 and 260 fires in the city of Boston, Massachusetts and nine surrounding towns and cities to protest Proposition 2½, hoping to revert the budget cuts that led to hundreds of police officers and firefighters being laid off. Proposition 2½ also caused many public services such as schools, libraries and centers to suffer.
Using the information provided by Robert Groblewski, one of the arsonists, the Department of Justice was able to indict the seven other arsonists, leading to a range of prison sentences from five to 40 years imprisonment.
The wave of fires that the group caused led national media to refer to Boston as the "arson capitol of the world".[1]
