    Probably started it, and stayed to get arrested and have a roof and three meals on our tab. Lazy POS.

    One of the huge new numbers of these kind of dangerous transients that Barry Hussein and Moonbeam created, they have EXPLODED under the liberal’s 100 million out of work plan and weak enforcement of laws and the open borders combined with the Prop.47 redefinition of crimes and the “let them all out” plan that Moonbeam did rather than build more prison space or use the existing space. This makes the revolving doors spin until they really do something bad like murder someone and this arsonist could have really caused another huge fire like the last arsonist from last year. In the meantime they are stealing and breaking into homes and cabins and begging on the streets. This is what being soft on crime does and it must be reversed with new leaders and restored laws.

    It’s funny that Justice and those of his deranged ilk would fight tooth and nail to keep from giving any minimal type of services for homeless people using taxpayer money, but openly advocate incarcerating those very same transients at a significantly higher percentage of costs to taxpayers.

    That’s called being penny smart and dollar stupid!

    When he burns down houses and costs millions in tax dollars for the fires, just like the one last year, the little spent keeping him behind bars and from doing it again is worth it. A wise use of tax payer dollars is to prevent crime not encourage it by placing them out on the streets over and over until they really do something bad and lives are lost.

    Liberule:

    It is a start, common ground.

    Walter: let’s go 2 for 2. I bet we can both agree that we want the best for the lake and its water clarity. I bet were not so different. I think I’ve been so cranky because I miss the snow.
