They are mass murderers and should be shot on sight

How 'bout a spot of torture first.

Ouch, remind me to never upset you two!!!
But, I can understand your sentiments. People that set these fires for some kind of thrill are very sick and selfish individuals, who clearly lack the ability to think about anything but their own needs.
Incidently, arson is one crime that females feature highly in the stats. (Just thought I'd add that)
My heart really goes out to those in Victoria, one can only but imagine the horror they have and are experiencing.

I was sharemilking on a farm near Mount Gambier in South Australia, where the Ash Wednesday fires went through. The owner was telling me about having to shoot cows that had there hooves burnt off and all sorts. There was some big fires when we were there, on the road through the Mallee, and also somewhere on the road that goes through one of the deserts on the way to Port Elizabeth. Far out, it was wicked, smoke so thick I was driving at 20k's an hour.

I remember Ash Wednesday (although I was very very young, just a baby!!) and people saying "they'll never let that happen again". My Dad's cousin's were burnt out, they sent photos of their land and animals, it was horrible, and this time it's even worse, beyond anything my vivid mind can imagine. 5000 homeless people in shock, not to mention those that have had to stand by and witness the loss of others. Something we don't expect in countries like Australia and NZ.
