Good luck collecting.

[San Jacinto]

Looks like he may need a bailout.

[caveat emptor]

is FR up?

[Jeff Chandler]

He’ll be out in time to vote again for Obama.

I was trying to correct the lack of a link when FR went down.

What part of the death penalty don’t I understand?

[WildcatClan]

Why didn’t they order him to invent a time machine and go back to the time he started the fire and not start it this time. Does that make any less sense than ordering a “homeless” man to pay 101 million?

What a stupid ruling and what’s worse, those who voted for Obama will come away from this with a sense that justice has been served.

[freekitty]

Yep. Most of the fires out there are usually set.

[YOUGOTIT]

Who would so stupid to fine someone 101 million when that person (according to what I have read) has 0 dollars and not other assets.

Sounds like a stage play.

Transient ordered to pay $101M for setting fires

Yeah, right. I'm sure Steven Emory is all shook up about this ruling.

What's the judge gonna do, confiscate the guy's shopping cart and cardboard refrigerator box if he doesn't pay?

[Uncle Chip]

Maybe he can begin paying it back with the profits from a new enterprise selling bags of Firestarter Charcoal -- as long as he keeps the profits under $250,000/yr.

[germanicus]

The guy actually is being rewarded. Three square meals and all the sex he wants.

[VRWCmember]

I guess he’d better ask the democrats in congress for a bailout. (They’ll probably give it to him.)

[TheConservativeParty]

He got 4 years? What the heck? How about 40??? ARG.

[Right Wing Assault]

This should take him about 100 million years.
