14 dead in Victorian inferno

Unfortunately 200 now confirmed dead. It will climb as more bodies are found.

Jesus, that's insane. I'd say forget prison for the arsonist, give the SOB to the public, and let them dispatch vigilante justice.

 

[Wildcat]

Amen to that!

200 is it?? Wow i haven't heard that yet... This Sunday i believe a group of us are going to Churchill with the SES to clean-up burnt houses, fix fences etc..

Interesting to hear what happens to this arsonist... They had an article in 'The Age' the other day... They can't (ever) release him into the general public cause he'll die, they can't ever put him in prison with others, cause he'll die (prisoners lost family in the fires)...
Witness protection maybe..?
I still think the easiest solution would have been a quick bullet in the back of the head when they found him...

Let the justice system do its work and then lets see.

Take care up there mate and good on you for going up!

Sparky mate is going up with his company to do some work for free.

Toll stands at 201 now and sadly a Canberra firefighter died when a tree collasped on him last night.
