These guys at the very least should have saved the pets, pegged the guy for gas costs, and let the house burn down. Those of you who felt sorry the guy are pathetic. The same goes for red cross and other organizations that help other countries. Seriously guys, let's fix our own problems before trying to take on everyone else's.
Torque's car insurance analogy makes perfect sense. Why should the lady who totalled my car, who hasn't been paying for insurance get off easy when I, who have been paying high insurance because of the stereotype against teenage boy drivers, have been paying outrageous rates just to keep a decent car?
As I said, I don't feel bad for that guy one bit, although it would have at least been courteous to save the pets.
