Someone released his photo and adress on some chat group site. Of course the site was innundated with hits and people posting with threats of retribution. The governing body of that site shut it down. The guy is locked up and is being kept away from the general prison population. His ex girlfriend and her family have been copping threats and abuse. They found out info about him on some Facebook type page. There is a strong lynch mob mentality amongst people here. The bushfires have been the first stories in the news since they happened. It has been front page headlines in the papers too. The death toll just seems to be climbing all the time. I heard the guy is facing one count of a number of crimes yet the fire he lit killed 22 people. If the Australian justice system doesn't lock the guy away for life there is going to be a huge backlash here. Also with the arson, has come stories of looting, and some people have been charged with theft of donated monies from hotels and R.S.L. clubs. You can always trust a tragedy to bring out the scum and trash.
