http://latest.com/2015/03/woman-grins-with-pride-after-setting-fire-to-yoga-studio-to-get-rid-of-the-devils-temple/The happy face mugshot belongs to Nancy Suzanne Duarte, a 41-year-old Texas woman who was just arrested and charged with setting fire to a yoga studio.
Most people cant understand the smiling mug shot, Nancy Duarte told local media from her jail cell. But theres an obvious explanation. Duarte says she smiled in the photo to help let go of the anger that drove her to American Power Yoga with a baseball bat and can of gasoline. See, the smile did for her kinda what yoga is supposed to do for her.
In Duartes case, however, she said the yoga studio had brought her so much pain and suffering during an ongoing dispute with two men associated with the Dallas business. Duarte said the men sexually harassed her for years despite her rejections of both of them....
She told a TV station she waited until late Saturday, when no one would be at the studio, just to set it on fire, just destroy it get rid of the devils temple. No injuries were reported in the fire, but several neighboring businesses were evacuated.

With any luck she will be gettin' her three hots and a cot in the happy old Big House for a while like the rest of the arsonists.

I wonder how much truth if any there is to her explanation. It's an unfortunate outcome if true, although a poor way to channel her anger.

even though she thought it was the "devil's temple"?

She may be referring to the males whom she claims sexually harassed her over the years.

One wonders what the back story is there.
