Is it? Really? Not nearly enough punishment in my book.

When your tax bill comes in take a good long look and figure it would have been just a bit cheaper if these useless fools had been left to their well earned reward.

What is the point of skipping all the “fun” in life because it’s risky and things could go wrong and then you’d have big consequences to deal with, when some halfwit who doesn’t think above an animal level has all the fun they feel like with no FEAR of consequences, knowing all the prudent suckers will foot the bill? What would happen if everyone did whatever they liked brainlessly without ever stopping to think “I could be in a real mess if this goes bad.”?

Can you tell me why they shouldn’t have to repay every dime wasted on their behalf? You know perfectly well it wasn’t cheap. Expecting the state to send them a bill for every last penny spent is the only fair punishment possible.

They do it with hikers and mountain climbers, this should be no different. If it’s a couple million bucks..well, maybe being beggared will teach them to *think* and serve as a strong warning to anyone else to know the risks and make good decisions.

Ah, here I agree with you. The bill would be in the millions, and the captain should indeed be expected to repay it... But not the children. Were this a civil "salvage" trial, the Navy would take the boat. Sadly, our fleet sometimes has little better to do than spend millions of dollars a day on MOB drills... The kind designed to save stupid folks' lives.
