Good.

So what variety of 57 possible genders was the brat?

Selfish idiots.

Meh. Who cares? :funny:

Yep. :mad: :sadangel: https://ktla.com/news/local-news/fir...orest-service/

The other strange story surrounding this fire is the missing Hotshot firefighter, Carlos Alexander Baltazar. https://www.redlandscommunitynews.co...0f4dddf48.html

Whoa. Good. Intentional idiocy deserves consequence.

Fking morons.

I think they are far more stupid than they are selfish.

I believe it was unintentional, but many stupid things that get people killed are unintentional.

People's "stupid" side that thinks something is a good idea, is nearly always very wrong.

You have to understand… Everywhere you go in California…all over the TV and radio and news it’s pounded into everybody’s brain what the fire danger is on any given day. They give out “plant moisture levels” at the same time that they’re giving humidity and weather updates. :funny: pretty much every day as part of the weather forecast they tell you what the level of fire risk is for that day and what the winds will be like. Cal Fire puts that information out: https://www.fire.ca.gov/programs/com...ather-watches/

Every person in California is aware of the fire danger because we are reminded constantly. Not to mention, at any given time there are wildfires burning in the southwest/western states around us.

There is no way humanly possible that they didn’t know what the fire danger was…yet the still walked to the edge of a national forest and set off a pyrotechnic device.

That was selfish. It was stupid, too… But those things are not mutually exclusive.

Their kid can enjoy seeing them on visitors day

Same here in CO. We're in the Black Forest where there have been devastating fires. I have absolutely zero f's for anyone who stupidly risks my home and neighborhood. I actually got suspended on fb when I suggested a proper treatment for someone that disregarded the danger. If you are stupid, then you should expect to feel the pain.

Good!

When I lived up in the mountains between Placerville and Tahoe we'd pack along fire fighting equipment to drive certain roads/trails. Seem to recall it being a legal requirement similar to having chains installed when it's snowing.

You went from Placerville and Tahoe to Mid Michigan? :kick:

Yup, I hear ya. Lived on Pony Express Trail between El Camino and Pollock Pines. Real nice up there. Could fish rainbow trout out of the ditch.

Yes, they need prison time, as much for punishment as for the cautionary tale their example will be to others. I'm sure they didn't mean to kill people and ruin lives....but they did. The dead aren't coming back, and people who lost everything they own......they will hopefully, eventually, come back from that, but their lives will be forever changed.

Tejas doesn't have the perpetual drought problems CA has, but we do have them occasionally, and people here might grumble, but they understand why there are burn bans and fireworks bans during those periods.

Apparently the kid was a Flamer

:leaving:

ICNLT

Info they don't put out in the news, thanks for the info.
If they blatantly ignored the dangers they should face charges.

My neighbors are complete morons and will burn anytime and anything, almost burnt their house down several years ago.

Guess the name "Ashley" fits at least.....
