L.A. Blaze an Arson

[DMX7]

I'm one of the few liberals who is big on the death penalty. But I really think the people starting these massive fires in California (seems to be arson a lot) should get the death penalty. Nearly 25+ million bucks has been spent trying to put out the fires and 2 firefighters have already died.

The person or persons will probably get life in prison and if they don't, then it's a fuckin shame. Has a person ever received the death penalty for arson in America?

[baseline bum]

They'll be pushing for homocide if they catch the fucker(s). Not only are two firefighters dead and tons of people homeless, but THE most beautiful part of the Los Angeles area is now fucking trashed. I can't count how many times I have gone up and hiked Mount Wilson or taken the jaw-dropping drive up the Angeles Crest Highway. It was truly one of the most incredible drives in the nation, better than the PCH or Mulholland Drive and just below the Kings Canyon Scenic Byway and Tioga Pass Road, and now it won't be anything even worth seeing for the rest of all of our lifetimes. That whole fucking spectacular pine forest is gone because some piece of shit... fuck, I can't even begin to express how pissed I am at losing the most peaceful and relaxing place LA has to offer. :pctoss

I hope whatever needledick set this fire dies of fucking AIDS. I'd personally shoot the fucker dead if I ever got the opportunity.

The road was reopened only 3 months ago after almost 5 years of being shut down from rockslides and avalanches.

Three years ago, arson investigators probing the cause of a wildfire in the San Jacinto Mountains that killed five firefighters discovered evidence of different types of incendiary devices at several fires.... The evidence was enough to build a first-degree murder case against mechanic Raymond Lee Oyler. In March, the evidence was used to convict him and send him to death row.

What a douche. Mount San Jacinto is easily the coolest place in all of Southern California, and maybe the best hike in Cali south of Sequoia National Park. I'm glad to hear precedent has been set for executing pieces of shit like this.

Sequoia National Park is beautiful. I love it there.

This thing is enormous. I'm not sure there is a quick and efficient way to put it out. It's about the size of the entire city of Los Angeles at least.

You're just not going to put out a fire of this size in a day or two. It's not like an air-drop is going to cover a huge area, you're not going to have 100 planes in the area, and you don't have 10,000 people on the ground tackling it at once.

[gatoloco]

there has to be some sort of pyro scientist/engineer with access to liquid nitrogen and explosives and a hell of an idea somewhere...

How sad!!! :(

Has anyone heard from Duncan228?

I'm pretty sure she lives in OC, so she is many miles from this madness.

Has anyone heard from Duncan228?

Thanks for the concern. :)

I'm south of the fires, not in harm's way. It's such a scary thing, last year I was in the path and had to be ready to evacuate. The air was hard to breathe and there was ash falling from the sky. I can't imagine how the people close to this one are feeling.

A natural fire is horrendous, arson is downright evil.

[DPG21920]

Just Laker fans celebrating.

[BlackSwordsMan]

a kid started the last fire and got some people killed

[Mark in Austin]

I'm generally a pretty liberal guy, but I would have no problem with applying the death penalty to bad arson cases - call it first degree arson. Even if nobody died as a result. The massive potential for loss of life and destruction in these cases is just too horrible.

[angelbelow]

I hope they are caught, this is completely unacceptable.
