#1 One more reason why arson ranks right up there with murder as a capital offense.

#2 Some of us have worried about this type of eco-terrorism for years. It doesn't take much for a home-grown jihadi with a can of gas and a match to start conflagrations.

Look out Southern California you are probably the most vulnerable.

#3 Southern Californians are well aware of how vulnerable we are. That's why I made reference to it being a capital offense. An arsonist never knows, has no way of knowing, if the fire he starts might kill someone. They should be treated just like murderers.

#4 The state of California defines arson as willfully and maliciously setting fire, burning, or causing to burn any structure, land, or property. If the arson:

* Causes an inhabited property to burn: 3-8 years in prison
* Causes great bodily injury to someone: 5-9 years
* Committed on a structure or forest land: 2-6 years
* Committed on uninhabited property: 16 months-3 years

Certain conditions in the arson can add an increase to the amount of time. Multiple burn victims, multiple structures, or injury to an emergency official all add a potential 4 years onto the original sentence.

Ref: California Arson Laws- California Penal Code Section 451.

Lest you think it lenient, it's more severe than a lot of other felonies under the CA penal code.
