Cops round up two dozen alleged firestarters in NSW

A further 53 people faced legal action for allegedly failing to comply with a total fire ban.

Most international studies have settled on a typical profile: White male, mid-20s, patchy employment record, often above average intelligence but poor academic achievement and stunted social development. FBI criminal profilers believe arsonists fall into three categories, defined by motivation: thrill-seekers, attention-seekers and those chasing recognition.

Sokaluk became one of Victoria's worst killers in 2009 when his fire killed 10, razed more than 150 homes and destroyed 36,000 hectares of land.

If all these people are so keen on gruesome punishment for these alleged arsonists, why don't they put their energy into naming and making threats against all the past arsonists who've been convicted for other deadly fires?

Revolting, MANDATORY LIFE imprisonment working hard labor for restitution to all victims human and wildlife, only and must see video of burn victims and what they've caused. No Free Time Ever.

Jail is too good for them

These morons should all be charged with murder and thrown in jail for a long time!!

Now just put them away for a long long time no fooling around with the pricks Norm Latham

They must get long jail terms. If the deaths can be connected to their arson then, they must be convicted of murder 😡😡😡

Joelly_nobes

It saddens me to think people are doing this, they can't all be mentally retarded, the penalties must be very severe.

If this can be proven, I will support Capital Punishment 😡 .... how many lives have these monsters destroyed

They should all be charged with manslaughter. Unfortunately with the Injustice system we have it'll be the old three months suspended sentence.

REMINDER: HOW they started is irrelevant.

Throw the criminals in jail

They are TERRORISTS

Before giving these low life morons a long time behind bars, they should be sent to the heart of bushfires and made to battle the flames without any protective clothing on and in bare feet.! Let them get burnt a bit before putting them behind bars .!

These ‘alleged’ arsonists are sick and sickening! 😨 What on earth is psychologically wrong with them to want to cause such deliberate destruction, devastation and deaths including super-brave firefighters and MILLIONS of helpless animals!? 💔 piersmorgan susannareid100 GMB

ArsonistsStartingBushfires not ‘firebugs’!

Great. Lock them up for good

Show their faces 🧐😡

Can we skin them and donate it to the burn victims from White Island

if a dog kill a person, it will be put down. Why can’t we burn the arsonists to death (together with their whole family).

Leftist 9 again, trying to trivialise Arson ! How sick can Australia's leftist media get ?

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Charges should be laid for murder that what has happened.

Laws too soft to deter them

I bet they are “climate activists”

You have to wonder if the folks pushing the Climate Change Hoax are encouraging some of these fires

About time media started to report real news

*NOTE*👇 Some SICKLY AuMSM Feed Off🔥CRISIS Sweeping Australia 2 Inform Victims/Voters via Climate$Lie! Any Punishment AuMSM📢'Climate!'?LIE? Unite+🙏4 Victims of Bush🔥Crisis Caught in the Cross🔥by UN$Scam! NEVER FORGETARSON/Climate$Activism CAUSED🔥

24 fire bugs & years of no bush management but let’s scream climate 🙄

OMG there are some sick twisted people out there.

Plz plz plz all Muslim pray for Australian n Australian_Animals I♥️ I💔 I😭

Burn them in the fires they created. Only true justice

When these people are convicted, name and shame them please.

It’s treasonous. Should be sentenced accordingly.

May the full weight of the law fall upon them

'Firebugs'?

Why does this remind me of the 'alleged' terrorists they arrest to great fanfare, and then quietly drop the charges a few months later

Fines and jail sentences are a privilege for these people. If you play with matches, you deserve to get burned - along with the rest of our country.

Has to be murder.

Must be climate change

Oh no

Two dozen ? Far out

Hope they get the full extent of the law and jailed for life each

Eternal dirt-nap is what they deserve!

something must be wrong in the head with these people. Charge them with murder!

It’s a shame that ppl actually do this kind of stuff - sick minds. It’s also nothing new unfortunately.

EcoTerrorists ArsonEmergency

Terrorists. Call them what they are.

Big fines and lengthy jail sentences is what they deserve.

Charge them with murder.

CaroSearcc If found guilty string em up on the nearest lamppost! Absolute scum. We

It's a disturbingly common crime, with estimates up to half the 54,000 bushfires that hit Australia on average each year are deliberately lit or suspicious.NSWFIRE AustralianFires

BjuhrEva Muslims?

Suppose your going to blame the PM and global warming for that as well

Good. Now, punish them severely.

Name and shame!

PeterWallaceAU Sad thing is probably most have been deliberately lit 🔥, no matter the age they must be dealt with hard

Name and shame them

People like that don't differ from mental illness. They relish every minute in they psychopathy!

GeorgeBakhos1 24 only in NSW, imagine the whole country.

Make no mistake, Russell Crowe wouldnt advertise this fact. Imagine his own carbon footprint- be huge wouldn't it? All the flights, all the movie sets, entourages, lighting sound systems? What a climate vandal? What a hypocrite?

These f😡

I’m looking for investors so I can build a prison.

missjess2003 And what will happen? a slap on the wrist.

If they're guilty, execution: they knew the consequences of their actions, they need to own their accountability of destruction, and an example needs to be set.

Guys like them should get the death penalty (unfortunately we don't have it here in Aus) I don't care if they are minors or adults!

Name them !!!!

Terrorists!

So you are finally telling the truth. Now don’t you feel better?

And I will lay bets not one of them is a greenie.

Kill_DeathRatio Should be charged along the lines of mass murder.. zero mercy for the c%&$

What...

If found guilty they should be hanged

Why aren’t the celebrities in Hollywood talking about these pathetic arsonists? I guess that doesn’t fit their climate change narrative.

Extinction Rebellion.

Buy 24 electric chairs.

What they will get life? In hell

I'm no hanging judge but if you light a bushfire it should be a mandatory jail term for those over 18 years old and then on an arson register similar to a sex offender register. For those under 18. I leave it to the Judiciary but also on the register for life.

😡😡😡😡

They must have mental health issues but please stand up tall and place a very hard punishment for the devastation they have caused. Big big p punishment must be enforced here.

They'll just use the good ole 'bs' excuse they were suffering mental illness due to the bushfires.

Interesting profiling of an arsonist, mid 20s, white male , attention seeker and usually a firefighting volunteer

People who are caught doing this clearly are not mentally stable! How could such an evil thought cross someones mind.

Jail for them... minimum 10 years They are scum of the earth Disgusted

This should be the main news story everywhere. Not scomo or climate change. These bloody arsonist terrorism

You need to put a graphic pic tag on this, seeing those cows was heartbreaking for me.

But I thought it was ClimateChange? 🤷‍♂️

Can i please see the Police report detailing this to you, uploaded to this page will be fine. Otherwise do not make such extreme accusations without hard evidence to show for it. It continues the disintegration of media integrity.

And the evidence to show they started the fires. U can round up any number of people to point a finger at when the govt want to shift the focus

Have fun in prison you tools

Suit them up and place them on the front lines of raging fires, arm them with water buckets and a kiddie pool. No support.

Don't you mean Police have caught 24 TERRORISTS

Make them take their sorry asses out to the devastated bush, collect the poor dead animals and dig graves for each and every one, then haul same filthy asses into court for sentencing that matches the crime equalling the number of years the bush will take to regrow!

okay fair enough, do we see full force of laws thrown at these filthy lowlife's or nothing at all and hushed up

No question about it life in jail, for them and the greenies for not allowing burn offs.

Leave them in the middle of them...

Life In Jail

🤔

You guys are scum.

DamagedGoods200 I heard on the radio that up to 100 people may be charged for deliberately lighting fires in Qld alone What the hell is going on

hope they lost their houses serve them right. horrible people hope they are punished suitably.

Death penalty,no question...

ArsonEmergency

I feel sick knowing someone might have done this deliberately. The grubs have altered the landscape of our nation FGS. People shouldn't think like this. YouCantFixStupid WeAreBetterThanThis

What sentences do they get?

These people should be punished harshly.. these are gross disgusting human beings... I just cant 🤮🤢

Give them to the firefighters !!

Disgusting 😡

May the full weight of the law fall upon them

No mercy.

They should be in jail for the rest of their life. What a Crime... millions of animals and 24 people died.

In cases where lives were lost they should be charged with murder

Jail here we come if under age childrens home until old enough..disgusting..

Lachy_Steele if guilty, life in prison under terrorism act

About time media started reporting on the arsonists

What possesses people to allegedly do this. I’m gobbed smacked

These parasites need to be held accountable for the full amount of damage the fires they lit have caused.

It's about time that we're told if all these arsonists have a common cause.

'It's all starting to fill in': fears Victoria and NSW fires mergingFire crews were pulled away from a massive Victorian fire overnight, which could soon merge with another fire across the border. If all of the council areas have used the same ‘do not touch the bush’ tactic, then naturally fires will have enough fuel to keep burning & fragile humanity can’t stop it until fuel is gone or rain comes. Nature at work.
