RE: Holy Shit, Oregon and Washington are ON FIRE (;⊙Д⊙)

in #oregon7 years ago

Over 10,000 acres have been burnt, and still burning, after 2 teens throwing lit firecrackers off the eagle creek trail over a 200 ft cliff were caught by a stranger; one lighting and the other filming on their phone, and no one else in their party (not limited to the two teens) confronting illegal fire and illegal fireworks. The woman who caught them and reported them scolded them and said they giggled afterward. She said no one in their party responded otherwise. She reported them to the authorities, who apprehended the family leaving in their minivan. What kind of society do we live in when the beauty of Eagle creek isn't enough and people want to burn it to the ground for kicks? Please throw the book at them. Do everything legally to make them financially responsible for the fire AND the rehabilitation of the site. They deserve every bit of our collective scorn.
