Apparently two minors are suspected to have deliberately set the fire in Tennessee which killed 12 people, injured a hundred, and forced 10,000 to evacuate their homes.

One has to wonder how long it will be before jihadist sympathizers start asking themselves "if two teens can destroy an entire town, why not us?".

So it looks like liberals are already attacking this country and giving the jihadis a guide on why types of crimes can cause the most devastation.
 
Where is the information that says the two teens in question were jihadist or "jihad synpathizers?"
 
I hope they try them as adults and they get harsh sentences. They've devastated a community and their actions resulted in the deaths of people. There were bans on outdoor fires (fire pits, etc.) due to the drought and dryness of the area. I drove through the area while the fires were occurring. Seeing the smoke in the valleys and the smell of ash brought me to tears.

A lot of people lost their lives, homes, careers and you had to tard it up with the idiotic "jihadist sympathizers" garbage. This a good example of how to immediately derail and screw up your own thread.

I agree. I hope they listen to this victim of the fire:
Katerina Mills, a 45-year-old who has been staying in a shelter, told The Washington Post in a phone interview that though the suspected offenders were juveniles, she didn’t feel more sympathetic to them, or think that officials should tread more lightly with the case.

“Age shouldn’t matter on something like this,” Mills said. “There were so many lives lost in this fire, due to this fire, and due to them being inconsiderate. There were so many lives lost. Animals’ lives lost. Humans’ lives lost. And the beautiful place that we lived in, you know, that was—”

Then she sighed, and said: “You know. It’s not good. I mean, it’s not good.”

“I would love to see them tried as adults,” Mills said. “Yes ma’am. They need to be tried as adults. As many people that lost their lives and stuff, and their homes. And they can’t replace that. They can’t replace it. The homes? Yeah. But they can’t replace the sentimental stuff in the homes. They can’t replace the lives. And, it ain’t the parents’ fault. You can raise your kid to the best of your knowledge, but your kids are going to turn out how they want to be when they get of age. And I do feel sorry for the parents. But no, I do not feel sorry for those kids.”

I hope they include charges for the deaths caused by the fire. Arson doesn't get a person much jail time.
 
Why not a murder charge
