Firebug

Wow.

A shipyard worker was sentenced to 17 years in prison by a Maine court on Friday after he admitted setting fire to a docked nuclear sub and causing $450 million in damage last year.

Casey James Fury, 25, was ordered to pay $400 million in restitution, the Associated Press reported.

Fury pleaded guilty to two arson counts in a plea agreement. He faced up to 19 years for setting the May 23 fire that damaged the USS Miami, a Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine, at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine.

  1. This jerk cost us almost half a billion and sidelined a nuclear sub for an untold number of months?

    He should have been hanged.

  2. I want to know why he does not have to pay back $50 million of the $450 million?

    If we don’t hang him, I say we parachute him into the middle of a North Korean socialist slave/death camp dressed in complete USA clothing, unarmed.

  3. He needs to stay working at the shipyard Kev.

    He’ll get this fine paid off in about about 2 million years

  4. Mark,

    Lol.  Maybe we can give him a welding torch and permission to fix other military craft…
