    "Knock knock"

    "Who's there?"

    "Arlingt..."


    Can't believe I'm the first in on this one. If I've missed another thread, please close and aim me in the right direction. I put this in politics because it seemed a little heavy for "Break Room".

    I don't think it was a high explosive of any type. That looks and sounds consistent with a gas explosion with a near perfect air/fuel ratio.

    Sues everyone, for everything.

    Fires flares into the neighborhood.

    Detonates entire house in massive explosion.

    Refuses to elaborate.

    I find it ironic that the house exploded just as the police were rolling in. How do you get the fuel and air mixture correct and perfectly timed. I’m sure they didn’t call ahead. Could just be a coincidence but it just seems like astronomically impossible odds to me.

    I was one of the first onscene at the Richmond Hills explosion. It was like a medieval painting of Hell. I've been around explosives and explosions for years, including a live fire miclic as the driver of the firing tank, but never saw fire like that. True sensory overload. It must be so much more so to not be expecting it and be that close to one.

    I bet this guy had a portrait of General Lee (PBUH) and a Confederate flag in his garage...

    I don't get why this is such a "thing". Hundreds of "crazy" people are on our radar. Doesn't mean that we are able to prevent them from going "Postal" if they haven't given us a reason to arrest them.
    The problem is that the Feebs have been really good at stopping terror attacks… when they were the ones grooming the terrorist, providing materiel, recruiting other “terrorists” in the form of other undercover agents… and not much else besides investigating Catholic Churches and old ladies walking between velvet ropes waving American flags.

    When I was on, the dudes from Achilles, the Marshals and the Postal Inspectors were all good people, but half of the Secret Service folks (and I worked with a LOT of them) and the FBI folks were 100% d-bags.
