All of this trouble could have been avoided if she had simply carried a thermos of hot bear urine with her on her hike.

Proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance.

With what's going on out here and all along the west coast the last few years, anyone caught lighting forest fires should hang. Asshole democrats blame it on global warming but yet there are always leftists out there caught doing it.

Global warming my ass. The left wants this. And it's incredibly destructive, not to mention those of us out here breathe that smoke for months.

It's got to stop. People like her need to be made an example of. Felony Arson hasn't stopped them yet.


I showed my liberal San Francisco residing sister in law pics of about 15 arsonists charged over the last few years and said these cowards are lighting the fires, her response.... "and global warming." Confused

There's no getting through that. Maybe pics of her Antifa teammate's feet swinging will stop em. Maybe not I don't know. But sure beats letting them breathe clean air when they rob everyone else of it.

turns out Souverneva wasn't the only nut case starting fires

This summer the Dixie Fire burned more than 950,000 acres and 1,329 structures in California. It was the largest standalone fire in state history and the second largest fire of any type in state history.

A man named Gary Maynard, a former sociology professor who taught criminology classes , was accused of setting multiple fires nearby which potentially could have trapped firefighters trying to fight the Dixie Fire. He was discovered at the scene of one fire because his car got stuck

A Forest Service fire investigator determined the Cascade Fire was likely the result of arson. He also noticed that on a dirt road 150 to 200 yards from the fire, a man was struggling to free his car, a black Kia Soul, after the vehicle’s rear had failed to clear a partially buried boulder.

A witness told investigators that the man, later identified as Maynard, had arrived several hours before the fire started, court records show. The witness said the man had walked off in the direction of where the fire eventually ignited, returning around 10 minutes later. After the man returned, the witness recalled, smoke from the Cascade Fire became visible.

The investigator kept his distance from Maynard, citing the man’s “uncooperative and agitated behavior.” But he took a picture of his car, and the license plate number led to Maynard.

The tread from his tires helped investigators connect him to several other fires in the area. Forest Service Special Agents were so concerned they put a tracker on Maynard’s car and were following him and putting out fires soon after he started them. Back in August, Maynard was only charged with starting one fire, the Ranch Fire, but it was expected more charges might be forthcoming. Today a grand jury indicted Maynard with starting four fires

The indictment charges Maynard with setting four fires over the course of two weeks in July and August, including the Cascade and Everitt fires, and the Ranch and Conard fires set on in Lassen County. He has also been linked, but not charged, in connection to the Moon Fire, which ignited in Lassen County during the same time period.

Maynard isn’t he only person charged with setting fires during one of the worst wildfire seasons in state history. Alexandra Souverneva has also been charged for starting the Fawn Fire.

Seems like a bit of a medieval approach, but publicly burning arsonists at the stake would at least cut down on recidivism, even if it didn’t encourage les autres.

I'd settle for seeing loons like this spend the rest of their lives clearing underbrush by hand. Preferably when it's raining.

It strikes me as being difficult to catch an arsonist, especially one setting fires in wilderness areas, so these arson investigators seem to be good at their jobs and I'm glad investigators got on Maynard's trail early enough to both catch him on scene and to prevent additional fires.

Based on the evidence mentioned in the article, I'm not doubting that the suspect warrants these charges and probably additional ones after further investigation...but I'm curious, "if the investigator kept his distance from Maynard" then how did he determine his behavior was "uncooperative"?

I'm in favor of the death penalty, and if Americans still had the intestinal fortitude for it, the medieval approach would solve many of today's crime and corruption problems.

Climate change isn’t happening enough so these Leftist lunatics have to fake it. Sounds about right.

I got that. Smile
But the same thought occurred to me as a punishment fitting the crime. I was also thinking that the guy who falsified the strength of the steel for submarines should be sealed in a sphere of his steel and dropped into the Mariana Trench: deliberately endanger the lives of others, forfeit your own.

The powers that be were using these lunatics behavior to promote their political agenda. Has there been any retractions or updates acknowledging these fires had No Connection to "Climate Change"?

Nope and there never will be. When the Left is wrong or discovered to be lying, they just go silent.

Change of venue and go for the death penalty. One automatic appeal in 30 days. Then carry out the sentence.

You want to stop bad behavior? Then make the penalty so gruesome that a lot of it will stop on its own. The reason why it persists is because there is no price to pay.

I wouldn't look too closely into what the article says and start drawing conclusions. Clearly, there's a LOT more to this case than what has been revealed.

I dunno. It doesn’t say what distance. It could have been mere feet after attempting to talk to him into and it became clear the guy was going to get violent if not left alone. Forest service fire investigator likely doesn’t equate to police.
