Fires

Here's the dealio, I'm a Melbournian and on the weekend i like just about every single person in Australia listened/watched/read/heard about what is now known as the worst Bush Fire Disaster in history. They've confirmed over 130 dead but expect that to rise to 300. Bush fires are a tragedy, in some parts all that is left is concrete and brick, all that is left of over 750 homes. I am saddened by this. But what makes all of this worse is that it was deliberate. Some of if not all the Bush Fires were purposefully lit. 

I along with anyone with a heart wish these complete assholes to burn in hell; pun intended. The police aren't sure whether or not to charge the arsonists with MURDER. I think that at the very least the people responsible should apologize to each and every person who has survived this tragedy, they took away their homes, their possessions and their families. My brother's friends Dad is still missing. There is not a single person in the country not affected by this. The one good thing to come out of this is the strength of the country. Everybody is trying to help eachother out. With donations, over 15 mill raised 1 day. People are opening up their homes for all the people who have lost everything, in some cases escaping with only the clothes on their backs, not even a wallet. No photos, no clothes, nothing. 

If anyone can help please do so.  

Aussie's stick together =)
