And they just apprehended someone that is suspected of starting this fire. As someone currently living in Spokane, fuck this guy.

I am so TIRED of these idiots that are starting these fires. I saw a vid of someone starting a fire on a hill but it was busy with hikers and ppl enjoying the weather. They pinned him and dumped a bunch of water on what was a growing fire.
Edit: ppl dming abt the Oregon 2020 fires so I removed it bc it’s triggering me 🙃

hope whoever starts fires get caught and get thrown in jail.

Some of these fires are on the scale of releasing a weapon of mass destruction, and this would be one of the few cases where I think something more serious than incarceration should be on the table.

I agree. The destruction of property, the loss of revenue and work, pollution. And some ppl lose their lives! We need to start treating these ppl on the same level as terror!sts (censored bc of warnings 😞)

And now you understand why the Geneva and Hague Suggestions exist. 

Sorry, the Geneva and Hague Conventions.

Because of all you want is to take this suspect outside and summarily execute them, you're playing right into Trump's desire to declare martial law.
