    Sad story; kids should get in some deep shit for it.

    I had one of the best weekends of my life in Gatlinburg on break from Vandy with like 30 guy/girl friends in one MASSIVE cabin/lodge. That said, the actual town of Gatlinburg is horrible; 90% of it is old time photo places, miniature golf, bad bars, and cabin rental offices.

    People go to TN for something other than trees and country music?

    Nashville is the shit; I'm from NY/CT and would move back there in a heartbeat, just not a ton of good finance gigs down there. Rest of TN is eh; Memphis can be ok but is also pretty sketch.

    Nashville is amazing. One of my favorite cities and I hate country music.

    I wonder why?

    Dollywood!

    And the Great Smoky Mountain national park is beautiful. Although, personally, I think some of the prettiest areas lie to the east in North Carolina. Maggie Valley is awesome.

    The parks and the terrain are awesome. Everything else is pretty terrible.

    Tennessee is burning

    Fuck these kids. My sister-in-laws family was directly impacted. The fire was about 300 meters from burning down their home.

    Just quietly chuckling at how my dismay for the bystanders' inaction somehow translates to wanting them to bust a cap in the kids. Ask 'em to stop, definitely. Perhaps try to stomp on the matches you do see lobbed, sure. Call the cops/forest rangers, presuming service an option in the hills, even better. If not thinking to pull a camera and lurk as my first reaction to witnessing such makes me crazy, so be it. Just my burly white guy privilege, I guess.

    Was reading that even if they aren't charged for murder, they could still get 60 years for aggrevated arson charges. Fuck 'em.

    Necropost but this is important. I only heard about it this month even though this came out last year. I guess I missed it in the news somehow. I feel so full of rage because these bastards basically burnt down my backyard.

    Apparently their parents hired some slick lawyer and got them out of this.

    The actual problem is that the judge wasn't allowed to prosecute the case due to it happening on federal land and he's a state official. or some shit.

    Yeah, it is a legal loophole created by a court ruling that made it illegal to prosecute state crimes that happen on federal land and we fixed it in 1997 in most national parks but apparently not in that one.
