$400 million in damage from setting a pile of rags on fire? Wow.
>> The judge said Fury would have to present evidence to the contrary in order to receive bail.
“Your Honor, I have a job at the shipyard! I have to show up for work or they’ll FIRE me. I burn with passion for my job at the shipyard! Besides if I don’t show up there’s no one to sub for me!”
Maybe this clown can #Occupy the same FloMax cell as the Colorado Joker. Wouldn’t that be a hoot. They’re about the same age.
It's been said before, and I'll say it again. Society of this generation have pampered the young so much; that they are totally unaware and have no appreciation for consequences of their actions. They have been spared spankings and any meaningful punishments - so doing outrageous things (like setting fires to a sub, or shooting people in a theater - simply to get their way), has neither a moral, ethical or physical consequence.
In short, why not? Will they be sent to sit on a chair for 15 minutes? Look at this idiot, and you'll see a generation just like him. Irresponsible, no respect for himself nor anyone else. Proverbs 13:24 says it bluntly "Spare the rod and spoil the child". We have allowed a whole generation to be spoiled; let us now delight in the bounty of the crop we have planted, so lovingly.
I am surprized that we was allowed to take a cigarette lighter on board, especially on a submarine being overhauled. Does this sound right to you?
U.S.S. Miami, SSN-755
Los Angeles Class Attack Submarine.
First of all, he should be thankful he had a good paying job. I am sure it was good paying because anything done on government project must be paid according to the local wage scale set by unions.
Second, $400million this creep is either causing the USN or the contractor or both not to mention the reduced military rediness as the sub will not be ready for quite a bit longer time than planned.
Third, he should be incarcerated for life in one of the ballast tanks.
I guess restitution will be part of the punishment
The Doofus likely doesn’t realize some sailors are trained in ways to spot an arsonist. I’d bet cameras and assignments were looked at as well. When fires which have even a hint of suspicion happen on a ship they get a very intensive investigation. NIS {don’t know what they call it now} investigated suspected arson and all connected with a fire were questioned including the responders. I’m certain they’ll make sure no former sailors or Marines sit on the jury.
My first shipboard assignment out of tech school was to a ship that had had an engine room fire. I spent almost 5 months in the dry-dock watching and learning from the Yard-dogs how to remove and rerun armored cables. And yes it was a standard practice to have a crew member with each work party so we could keep an eye on them.
As far as the fire goes... Well I wasn’t on board when it happened but the cat walks and ceiling and floor panels were literally dripping sculptures of metal. It must have been a choice slice of hell for a bit. The only thing that saved the ship was the engine room CO2 bank managed to get tripped in time to put out the fire.
Since he was taking medication for depression and something else, should he even have been hired for the job?
skin that POS alive... then set HIM on fire!!!
