Reply to comment by TheBigSalami in Arizona hiker convicted of starting forest fires to be rescued by StudMuffinNick

Judges sometimes shit me to tears. The point would to be ruin the arsonists life, otherwise it is not a punishment!

Why is the only punishment to ruin someone’s life?

I don’t know the details to the case but I do believe some people do not wish to live peacefully within society. Those people ideally should be exiled but we don’t do that so yeah if they are actively against societal norms and are seeking to cause harm then it is only retribution they should face.

I think we should rehabilitate them and not let them back until they’re ready, within reason. But in this case this guy was either sick or a dumbass he set a tree on fire to call for help

This wasn't malicious arson, the dude is just an idiot. The punishment fits, I think

He lit a fire in bushland and then just walked away from it? Without realising he was endangering lives and property?

He's a dumbass that got himself lost, and lit a fire to try and make a "smoke signal" to get rescued, which naturally immediately got out of control because he's a dumbass.

Maybe I am overly sensitive to deliberately lit bushfires mate :D We have had some horrific ones that were deliberately lit.

Yeah, I remember watching coverage of those over the last couple of years, so I completely understand that

Are you sure they weren't caused by Jewish space lasers?

I think those only work in Dumbfuckistan mate :D

The formula is pretty simple. Warmer than usual winter, late wet season, equals a shit ton of dry fuel without the normal window for a winter burnoff.

Huge fuel supply, throw in lightning strikes, the occasional idiot with a cigarette, and a few arsonists and half the country is on fire.

I was intending to make a joke at the expense of Marjorie Taylor green. She's an idiot congresswoman we have in the united states. When California was having massive wildfires at one point she tried to blame them on Jewish space lasers. She was also a Q-anon follower. She's a complete nut job.
