, O. Warburton (62), C. Vickery (59)I want to understand the reasoning behind arresting those responsible for pouring petrol on a building and lighting it and then releasing them with a slap on the wrist. Ill bet both my balls they got out and set fire to another building and collect another 20K each. Sounds like easy work, might consider it myself. Perhaps we should go around to schools and promote this lucrative and entrepreneurial business.
I guess it's down to the fundamental legal principle that "Everyone charged with a criminal offence shall have the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law." The fact that the arsonists are all teenagers goes in their favour too.
The latest three arsonists arrested, one of whom set himself on fire, have been charged with aggravated burglary, criminal damage by fire, handling stolen goods, committing an indictable offence while on bail and possession of cannabis. Committing an indictable offence while on bail means revocation of bail and a mandatory three months behind bars in addition to any other sanctions. Sadly though, I don't believe that these kids will be deterred or reformed by prison.

Innocent until proven guilty, sure.
But there is taking the piss. If what you say is true, one was caught 'red handed', that is literally burned in the process! Yet is still innocent and allowed to roam free. Surely there has to be a bit more common sense in this.

According to the police OIC, all of those responsible for the fire bombings have been apprehended and charged. Apparently they get paid $20K for each job.I want to understand the reasoning behind arresting those responsible for pouring petrol on a building and lighting it and then releasing them with a slap on the wrist.

It seems that the organised crime gang behind the fire bombings is likely to be an offshore operation so particularly difficult for the police to crack.
Yes the government could introduce laws to make it harder for these crime gangs to operate but they’d never be passed by the upper house and would be a severe restriction on our civil liberties.
The government has already tightened bail laws but, again, they can only go so far before their laws are deemed to be unconstitutional.
