    You must have little faith in the prison system.

    Capitol punishment is far more expensive than keeping a prisoner for life.

    Because the story being circulated on social media about 200 arsonists being arrested is fake news spread by bots.

    It's not fake news! The only outlet spreading that it's fake is the extremely left biased ABC.

    Nope. Bushfire related offenses.
    Actual deliberate fire-starting 24.
    Look up arson in a dictionary.

    Semantics.

    Do you think people who light barbecues and use spark igniting power tools outside during an extreme and total fire ban, at a time the country is burning to the ground, should be let off just because they didn't actually light a match?

    You're going to have to prove that every degree of increased temperature is due to climate change.

    In the last decade, mega-wildfires have become routine news. In 2015, fires burned a record 10 million acres of U.S. wildlands, and 5.5 million burned in 2016, including major fires in California and a blaze that started in Great Smoky Mountains National Park that damaged 2,400 buildings in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and killed 14 people. While wildfires are a natural phenomenon usually sparked by lighting, it turns out the recent destruction isn’t all Mother Nature’s fault. A new study shows that 84 percent of wildfires in the United States are started intentionally by humans or by human activity.”

    The cost of appeals should be the burden of the defendant, not the public
