    Yeah they caught one and the PM was calling it "mass murder" on the arsonist's part. They figured it out due to them relighting areas where the fires had already burned through... the ********.

    BBC Report
    "No one said it was gonna be easy! If it was, everyone would do it..that's who you know who really wants it."

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

    At least these two murderers may be caught.

    Death toll now at 181 with an expectation that it will reach over 200.

    What is expected as punishment for these people?
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Quote from the BBC article I posted:
    In Australia, deliberately lighting a fire which results in death carries a sentence of up to 25 years in prison, while intentionally or recklessly causing a bushfire carries a 15-year maximum sentence.
    But seeing as how large of a death toll there is... I'm guessing they'll get a little more than that...

    I wouldn't be surprised by life imprisonment with no parole.
