That's an entirely different topic, but if they aren't breaking any laws, why charge them for their rescue? We all pay taxes for a reason.

That's the reason a lot of states have things like "Stupid Motorist Laws". If a road is flooded and you decide to be a cowboy and try to make it across anyway, you are breaking the law and are therefore responsible for any rescue-related costs.

I disagree. I think the negligence here falls solely on the homeowner. It's a sad situation, but one for which he bears sole responsibility.

Never said it was, I think it simply speaks to the quality of the firefighters who responded and did nothing. Ironically, "Big government" would probably not let something like this happen.

I'm sure they wouldn't, but then again it seems to me a lot of what "Big Government" is set up to do is protect the lowest common denominator from actually being impacted by their own mistakes and stupid decisions. Maybe "Big Government" can create a Nerf world where no matter how badly we fuck up we never get hurt.

They should've saved the house, seized it, sold it at auction, distributed the money to citizens of the city who DO pay the fee...and then raped the family to make sure they were properly punished for their mistakes and stupid decisions.

Or maybe just rape his wife instead, that'd be even Steven.

WTF is it with you and all the rape? Seriously.

It's the only way to make them pay.

Just seems like a fair punishment in this case. Letting a home worth maybe $10,000 burn down over $75 worth of fee seems like a loss to the community. We can rape the women, rape the kids and rape the men to make sure they learned their lesson AND seize the home and sell the property. While the "punishment" we use in this case doesn't even take anyone out of the workforce.

Justice served. Profit made. Everyone wins.
