Two boys jailed for school fire

Two 18-year-old boys have been sent to prison for six months, after being found guilty of starting a fire at a school in their home town of Wavell Heights, near Brisbane.

 

The fire destroyed a teaching block and administration building, with the total repair bill coming to nearly £3m.

    That is insane! Why would you put yourself and other peoples lives at risk? They should pay for the repairs, but as the total bill is a very large sum, they should just pay as much as they possibly can.

    They should have a longer sentence and a fine. A large fine.

    Yes, mirri04 is so right. Killing everyone in the school is NOT smart or clever; like some teens think so. 6 months in a prison is a long time: so is 1 month Perhaps 8-10 months. And a fine. They can work until they reach the limit Mathskid: who would?? I'm saying it's cruel, disobedient, risking the lives of others, and burning £3m. What is their problem?

    God that is soooooo silly I do not think that is clever. I agree with mirri04.
