Parents too...
The lil terrorist lit that lit up LA.
Well, there goes those folks retirement.
I can understand not releasing the boy’s name, but I sure would like to know his age.
10 minute timeout for YOU!
I feel for the boy.
I burnt my house down to the ground when I was 4 in December of ‘58 playing with matches. All 5 kids, ages 1 month through 8 years, and mom made it out.
They didn’t know what happened until I confessed about three days later. I think the enormity of the guilt was killing me. Thankfully my dad was in a very forgiving mood otherwise I would not be posting this.
Remember it like it was yesterday.
Hang in there kid.
Given the Ivy League’s propensity to fawn over terrorists, looks like this kid needs to change his name to Mohammed and claim the fire was part of jihad. Or he can join GreenPeace and assert the fire was designed to point out the dangers of urban sprawl. He’ll be inundated with scholarship offers.
Young Boy Started Buckweed Fire With Matches
"..Sheriff's Sgt. Diane Hecht said she did not know the boy's exact age, but she believed he was younger than a teenager.."
I have also seen other articles that say this is a teen.
Throw the kid and parents in jail. The parents should financially pay for it as well. They should have been supervising and watching the kid. They have parental authority and are reponsible for the welfare of the child. If they don’t want the responsibility or can’t handle it, then they shouldn’t have kids.
I think the MSM needs to determine whether the kid is a future Democrat or Republican..... if a Republican, crucify him. If a Democrat, well of course he meant well and only wanted to demonstrate the eviiiiillll nature of the Bush admin. /s
Where’s the torches and pitchforks gang calling for the kid’s beheading?
But the MSM said GLOBAL WARMING caused the fires!! I expect a full retraction and public apology from them!
(need I say sarc?)
All of us tried to get it out but it quickly got beyond us, so at that point they decide to skedaddle and scooped me and my brother into the car.
A potential disaster I did perpetrate was somewhere around 59 to 62. Close to dusk I was playing around on some earth moving equipment in a residential construction zone, jumping from piece to another and messing around with the levers knobs and controls. I think it was one of those hinged scrapers I was on when it started up, and after about 40 seconds of it running it got moving at a slow speed.
About that time with all of its various undulating motions, I quickly realized I had no control over this beast, and I leaped off hard as I could into the dirt. But it was not over yet for me, because the beast was angered about being awakened, and had begun a wide turn and the monster was coming back around towards me! I shot like a rabbit toward and through some piles of dirt and got the hell out of there. I took one last look back, and the monster was still going around in a circle looking for sight of me.
I think it is a good thing that parents are unaware of 99.5% of things that happen with/to their kids until several generations later :-)
But Dingy Harry said it was Gorebal Warning!
That kid sounds like he’s in BIG trouble.
I wonder what can be done to him. If he is younger than a teenager than there probably not much they can do. I mean would they send him to a juvenile home???
Blackwater must have given him the matches.
Local news reporting the boy was 5 yrs old.
