He will be pounding out license plates a long time to pay back the estimated $28 billion to $53 billion in damages. Some estimates put the total damages at $250–275 billion which encompasses damage, loss of life, healthcare, and widespread business disruptions across all fires.

It's a good thing that the perp was an idiot who couldn't resist recording the fire on his cell phone, otherwise he probably would never have been caught.

Since the fires that he started killed about a dozen people, he should at the very least be charged with voluntary manslaughter as well as with arson.

Unfortunately, he isn’t too different from most of his generation - self-absorbed, social media obsessed, etc. It’s a very small step from all too typical narcissism to psychopathic criminal behavior.

Did Newscum ever find the valve to turn on the water?

No, the French Laundry won't let Newscum use either of the restrooms where the valve is, he keeps trying to crawl under the doors of occupied stalls.

LOL! My last visit to the kids was last summer in the Como park area. Our Red Heeler jumped into the wading pools they keep in the parks. The Somali-lobby went nuts and had us cited and fined. The wading pool had to be drained and sanitized like in Caddy Shack! Dogs are not Halal (if that's the right word)

It was worth every penny to see them flee the wading pool. (Not even knee deep)

Ideally he would be charged with murder, but it’s almost impossible to prove intent to kill in a brushfire arson that eventually spreads to houses, as opposed to setting fire to a specific house. As I mentioned earlier, the best we can hope for is probably voluntary manslaughter charges.

After the trial I’m guessing time served, an ankle bracelet for a minimum 6 weeks and anger management classes.

Some years ago ther was a fire here. A fireman lost his life fighting the blaze and when the person who started the fire was apprehended, he was charged with murder

From the article: “If convicted, Rinderknecht would face a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in federal prison and a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison”.

Uh, how about there were 12 people who died in that fire? Nothing?

#15: "12 murdered, almost 7000 homes destroyed?"

Definitely death penalty. Those 7000 homes destroyed not only the house, but
the contents too—family memories, pictures of loved ones, lifetimes of memories.
The human dead—lives unfinished, lives yet to be lived, children yet to be born,
gone, all gone.

Jesus might forgive him, but I won't.

The mayor and deputy mayor, the city council, fire dept, governor etc are also to blame as they did not do brush clearance or fill up a needed reservoir or have hydrants that worked or updated to the newer standard, fire dept personnel with no fire engines etc etc.

They need to be charges as well.

Would that minister be okay if someone were to set his house on fire in the name of “social justice”?

It is WAY past time for the left to be repaid in kind.
