    But seeing as how large of a death toll there is... I'm guessing they'll get a little more than that...

    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

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

    Condolences to all who lost their lives. my heart goes out to them. I'll see to it that a possible donation may be provided.

    but the Australian government should hang the son(s) of a b*** who did this. life in prison is too good for whoever did this. this crime is too great in scale, too horrific in execution, and just evil.

    My guess is they will be tried for murder, or manslaughter. I really hope so.

    More fires are going on, a few more lit last night by more arsonists.

    They should be trialed for terrorism because that's what this is.

    We got rid of the death sentence 30-odd years ago for a good reason.
