Fair trial. If convicted burn them at the stake.

The Lane County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) in Oregon announced in a Facebook post on Sept. 1 that it had arrested 44-year-old Elias Newton Pendergrass on a first-degree arson charge in connection with the Sweet Creek Fires.
On Tuesday, a suspect ignited two brush fires in Oregon’s Dexter State Recreation Area, KMTR reported.
Police in Spokane, Washington, arrested 36-year-old Christine Comello for allegedly starting at least two fires in the area, KHQ reported.
Witnesses told police they saw Comello start one fire outside a commercial business, and accused her of setting a second fire next to an oil drum beneath a tree, police said.
She has been charged with first-degree arson, second-degree arson, and burglary, KHQ reported.
Be interesting to see if they have any prior arrests involved with antifa/blm. I’m assuming their computers and cell phones are also up for grabs.
If they can burn down cities and police stations, what makes anyone think they wouldn’t resort to starting massive forest/wildfires as an effort to occupy law enforcement etc?
But I did see an article today where a Police Chief in Oregon was ADAMANT that this was NOT antifa. Yeah, sure...
Of course it’s the leftist terrorists. How could it not be?
officers from multiple jurisdictions apprehended a 36-year-old man for setting a fire in the median of SR-167 in Puyallup..... identified the suspect as Jeffrey Accord, a local ‘Black Lives Matter’ activist.
In California, highway patrol troopers arrested 37-year-old Anita Esquivel for allegedly starting an unspecified number of fires in the area of Highway 101 near Boronda Road at about 9 a.m. on Monday
104,765,440 acres, 2.5 million burning.
Yup. Pay-per-view.
Arson should be treated like 1st degree murder.
A person in a fire dies. Setting a fire is premeditation to kill.
Already identified one as activist with Black lives natter
A few years ago a kid shot off fireworks in the Mt Hood Forest near the Columbia River. Devastating fire. The kid was fined tens of millions of dollars, they went after him very hard.
And while he was reckless and stupid, he wasn’t intentionally trying to destroy the environment. These fools are hopefully looking at 20+ yrs in the slammer.
6 weeks ago I asked when do they start torching off brush fires...When do they start taking hostages or setting off car bombs?
Thanks.
If this is a trend, Trump must send in fed troops and round up antifa as a terrorist operation. We can’t let these clowns continue.
Ecoterrorists ELF and ALF have used this m.o. for decades.
There’s 37 fires burning in Oregon
....about 10% of population evacuated and over 1 million acres on fire
Drop them off at the Farillon Islands off shore of San Francisco and tell them they are free if they can swim back to SF.
Great White feeding time.
Once Walter Winchell would have yelled "Hold page one. I've got something on the arsonist."
Try yelling that story summary to Jake Tapper, Morning Joe or Brian Stelter and Don Lemon. Yawn. "We'll lead tonight with ----is the new expose by Woodward enough to finish Trump at the polls?"
Yes. Burn the arsonist at the stake, after the fair trial.
