Burn, Baby, Burn!

A homeless man was convicted in February of setting two fires in California in 2002 and 2006 that burned 163,000 acres. I believe he was sentenced recently and ordered to pay $101 million in restitution.

Now stop me if I'm wrong, but I think that if he had $101 million he probably wouldn't have been homeless.

So while the State of California is waiting for Stephen Butcher to write them a check, he's also been sentenced to 4 years in prison. Personally I think I would have given him a 'home' for a lot longer than that.

I guess he is off the hook for the current blazes in California.

The only reason he was homeless was he needed another million to buy the 102 million dollar house he liked so much. Alas now he's got none.
