Thread: ****ing Arsonists

We have one over here today. A member on here has a farm at Moyston.
I hope all is ok.

Eeek! Just thought! My '63 ex army 2a is in Moyston!

Jeez! I hope it is ok too.

He/she had gone quiet, making me think that the person/s responsible had either moved on or quit before being caught.

Picked a bad night to do it, 40 degrees today and tomorrow with total fire bans in force.

I do wonder if last nights was the same person. This woman is yet to be charged though.

I did see all the police at the scene doing forensics today when I went past.

Apparently they Charged her this afternoon....

So hopefully at least your spate of fires may slow down

Thank goodness. I read the paper after I posted earlier and it turns out we had a fire last Tuesday, which I had not heard about.

At least now when she gets a slap on the wrist, after her beak tells the judge that her dad left when she was a child and her mum never hugged her, and she goes lighting fires again, we will know who to look for.

Had the "pleasure" of coming across a young arsonist who I caught red handed lighting a fire about 20 years ago. Although I grew up in the country this was in the outer southern suburbs of Perth where we backed onto a bush reserve. I had to chase this little bastard over 3 fences but I did catch him as he ran into the front door of his parents home. I was so angry that I kicked the front door in as he'd just shut it, I grabbed him and made him phone the fireos and tell them what he'd just done. I then dragged him by his hair out the front of his house - no one else was home at his place - then threw him over each fence until we reached the fire he'd lit, we got there as the fireos arrived, and I made him watch the fireos put the fire out, all the time physically slapping him around and yelling at him.


I reckon this little darling will never have lit another fire again in his life, some people may think that I overreacted but I grew up in the scrub and I've seen what bushfires do and I reckon he got off lightly because he walked away breathing. I'm not a big bloke, LandyAndy will vouch for that, but deliberately lit fires are one of the few this that really get me worked up, there's no excuse for doing this and I don't care if their mums didn't hug them enough when they were little.


Sorry gents but I hate arsonists.

No apology required. I think it was lucky you got him and not me

Imagine the trouble you would be in if you did this nowdays, which is half the problem with these ****s.

I don't think I'd be able to help myself but to do the same thing again, I'm older and more miserable now so I'd probably react worse than I did then no matter how politically incorrect it would be these days.
