    TEEN ORDERED TO PAY $36 MILLION FOR STARTING OREGON WILDFIRE

    A teenager who admitted to starting a massive blaze in the wilderness of Oregon was ordered to pay more than $36 million to those affected by the fire, a report said Monday.

    A judge in Hood River, Oregon, made the decision after reviewing the constitutionality of imposing such a hefty fine on a minor — which he admitted the youth would have to pay over time, according to The Oregonian.

    “In short, I’m satisfied that the restitution ordered in this case bears a sufficient relationship to the gravity of the offenses for which the youth was adjudicated,” Judge John A. Olson said in a memo setting the restitution.

    He also wrote that the $36 million “is clearly proportionate to the offense because it does not exceed the financial damages caused by the youth.”

    A lawyer for the 15-year-old called the amount “absurd” and “absolutely silly.”

    Some of funds imposed would be distributed as such: $21 million for the US Forest Service, $12.5 million for the Oregon Department of Transportation, $1 million for the Oregon State Fire Marshal and another $1 million to the Union Pacific Railroad.
    A vote is like a rifle: its usefulness depends upon the character of the user.

    If he didn't burn all his bridges, his application for the forestry internship will be gold.

    The judge just put that kid on the welfare rolls for life, because there is no reason for him to ever get a job now.
    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-

    So is this a life sentence for failure to pay restitution?
    You can grow up to be just like me....

    I read that as $21 mil to the US taxpayers, $13.5mil to the taxpayers of Oregon and $1mil to UP railroad. It will never happen like that.

    Can he travel out of the country?


    Because that's where I would be if the government slapped a 30+ million bill on me before I turned 20.

    US Forestry Service already has him on retainer for the FMNF. They said he’s a pretty hot commodity.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
