What kind of morons do this?

Daily Herald story

Thankfully there have not been any big fires at the dump lately, so now some morons are trying to deliberately start a fire???

Yes you are right.
Such a foolish thing to do.

If one person is caught and punished it will deter future recurrence.

Based on the previous incidents of crimes of many sorts, punishment does not seem to be more than slaps on the wrist.

You just can't fix stupid.
