TWICE!?!
Heard this on the news this morning..... radio guys having a good laugh about it....
The lack of common sense that some people display is astounding.
QuoteIf convicted of either charge, Fury could face life imprisonment and a fine of up to $250,000 and be ordered to pay restitution, officials said.
Paying $400 million in restitution could take him awhile.
I wonder if he'll use an insanity defence?
It's a little scary to think that someone with that severity of anxiety and depression was working on a nuclear sub. He was on a combination of drugs for anxiety, depression, sleep and allergies. Who the hell knows how those were interacting. It seems safe to say not well.
Quotetold investigators he set the fires so he could get out of work
Saw a report on TV the other day that there are tens of millions of Americans with anxiety (probably over diagnosed). Most manage not to set fire to their work if they want to leave early ;)

I have personally known Anxiety, give her redwine and a good romping and she's good to go for a few days all calm and peaceful like.
I am personally 'struggling' with allergies right now. I typically don't take anything for them even though they are really annoying because I don't want to set my nuclear sub on fire.

Look, you only get to set the sub on fire if you don't like the hours.
You sound like my mother-in-law (with whom I actually get along quite well). She has a few quirks (don't we all?). One of them is that, if a doctor gives her medication, she either won't take it all (I think I finally cured her of doing that with her antibiotics, thankfully) or she'll cut up the dose. When given 5 mg of Zyrtec, she'd cut the pill in half. I used to tease her that she needed to get a razor blade and shave off the thinnest slice, since 2.5 mg was probably far too much.
Anyway, there is over the counter medicine which will work wonders on allergies. However, I'm not going to recommend any to you since you remind me of her. Enjoy!
The guy who set the fire was just sentenced to 17 years and ordered to pay $400 million in restitution. He's going to have to make a lot of license plates.

He has just destroyed 400 million of your public property now you are going to pay for him for 17 more years.
Were people complaining about public debt issues?
Just shoot him without a trial. He should have foned in sick.

It all seems a bit over the top and pointless. This guy seems a few cards short of a deck. He's not going to be able to make the restitution, so why order it? Pointless. If he's backwards or just plain nuts, then it would be better to get the guy treatment so he can lead a useful life. I can't see the value in keeping him inside at the State's expense, when he could be treated for his mental problems and incarcerated for a shorter period as a "lesson" - unless of course he is a serial arsonist and the public actually needs protection.
The $400 million in damages does seem silly. I haven't read anything to indicate that he's a serial arsonist. I did read that he had a history of mental health issues. It's hard to imagine he'll end up serving the full 17 years.
More importantly is his job still vacant? I'm always thinking of ya mirthie! T'ain't too far to communte for ya!!

Good point, 40! Plus he's already shown me a proven way to get time off whenever I want it :P
Scrape one nuclear submarine...

I guess I don't understand the Navy's decision. The moron who started the fire was ordered to pay $400 million in restitution. What's the Navy going to do with that money?
How's that idiot pile of twaddle supposed to raise $400 mil from his jail cell over the next 17 years? That's a lot of pimping, yo.
Yeah. Hard to imagine that one pyromaniac can do more damage than the entire Chinese Peoples Liberation Army Navy Surplus Fleet.
Hope this guy enjoys showering with ugly men for the rest of his life....hey, pass the soap, willya?
