On Saturday, “an individual committed arson on a newly purchased ICE building” by breaking a window, igniting a fire and throwing a propane tank into the building, according to a U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson.
“The fire was quickly extinguished by the interior sprinkler system,” DHS said, noting that the suspect fled the scene after setting the fire. “The matter remains under investigation by the FBI.”
dipshit. you need to add a gelling agent to the accelerant
To be honest, I expect things to get a lot worse after the midterms. I think people still feel like it’s something they can do to change things, but after that I won’t be surprise to see a lot more of this from both sides.
Honestly I’m partially worried the midterms will go just well enough for folks to calm down. Even the bluest of waves aint gonna fix the shit that needs fixing.
They have money to create concentration camps.
They don’t have money to help the homeless, the poor, etc.
Don’t worry, after the immigrants they’ll have plenty of room to “help” the poor and the homeless.
They’ll even already have the facilities to house the homeless.
Nobody saw shit. Ok? Not a single fuckin word.
JD Vance looks guilty as hell. It’s probably him, Jim.
Yeah we’re all surprised by this
No no, I saw the guy who did it. It was…THAT GUY!
Points at random guy wearing MAGA hat
He’s probably wearing that to not seem suspicious! But that was definately him!
The guy with the MAGA hat? Yeah, he’s the head of Antifa!!!
Given Republican track record of trying to kill trump, successfully killing Kirk, etc it would not surprise me.
Wait what’re we talking about nothing okey doke.
Title should read
Patriot liberates building from oppressive regime custody.
Not really? The sprinklers put out the fire. The flood damage might or might not be a hassle to clean up, but it’s likely mostly mop work.
Depends on what kind of sprinkler system and how old it is. Some of them are closed systems and the water stays stagnant until it’s set off, so when it finally goes the water itself is a hazard because it’s been sitting potentially for years. It tends to come out very disgusting, black sludge that smells like actual shit. And then you have a whole specialized response and cleanup required because it’s loaded with bacteria.
They won’t clean it though, they’ll piss away more money to hire specialized cleaners and contractors to fix the damage
Filthy facilities are a perk for ICE, far as mistreatment of inmates go.
We are ALL Surprise
thank goodness only the FBI is on it, it would be a shame if they caught this individual
They ain’t gonna Kash shit
Kash me outside
How bout dat.
As long as his mother doesn’t turn him in he’s safe.
Every one of these moves increases insurance costs and makes landlords less inclined to rent/sell to ICE. Even though the sprinkler system put out the fire, water damage remediation isn’t cheap either.
Given time, I expect the regime to just use eminent domain to get what they want. Trump doesn’t like paying people for stuff anyways, so it is a win for him.
I welcome him alienating the landed elites
How would one go about successfully burning down a building with a sprinkler system?
To be 100% clear, this question has nothing to do with the linked news story, I was just spontaneously reminded of a plot hole I’m trying to work out in a story I’m writing (in Minecraft).
IMHO avoid the sprinklers from the roof or cut their water supply but if you can’t do that self oxidizing compounds like thermite as well as composite mixtures like napalm(gasoline + Styrofoam in minecraft probably) with oil or bits of crushed sparkler.
Ghengis Khan used birds. Bats have been used even more diabolically. Let history guide you
Use a ladder to climb to the top of the building. Break a hole in the roof. Pour in fuel. Match. Set. Go.
Sprinklers are designed to pour down on the fire, not to shoot up at the ceiling.
Easy, just tape a lot of mops around your firebomb. That way, the mops absorb the sprinkler water and keep it from extinguishing the fire. Ofcourse you’d need asbestos mops as normal ones burn up by the firebomb. Another option is to pack a layer of those tiny cocktail umbrellas around the bomb.
Anyway I’m sure both are available from your local Acme store.
You’d want a flammable liquid so that it floats on the water and spreads more the wetter it is.
Here’s some reading on why https://www.nfpa.org/news-blogs-and-articles/blogs/2024/08/12/what-is-a-class-k-fire-extinguisher
Good luck with your story.
Fire extinguishers that are rated for Class K fires (those involving animal fats or cooking oils) are the only type of extinguisher that can be used on fires involving animal fats or cooking oils. This is because many other types of extinguishers will either be ineffective or could even make this type of fire worse.
- WTF, people should be made more aware of this, but also
- The only fire I have ever needed to put out was a cooking oil fire, and my type A B C extinguisher made very quick work of it (as well as a completely uncleanable mess).
- Given 1 and 2, I have no idea whether I should replace the fire extinguisher in my kitchen with one that is class K.
yeah, my dad got badly burned by an oil fire he didn’t know what to do with and tried to walk out of the kitchen with. walked the burning pan out the house and got splashed as he threw the fire out into the yard. house was okay. his arm was not. happened before i was born. he made sure we all knew to have a lid handy.
Turn off the water main first? Burn from the top down? Fill the sprinkler pipes with gasoline? Waterproof matches but bigger?
You can’t put out grease fires with water… you need a different kind of system to put out grease fires… propane isn’t grease
I’d figure start from the top rather then bottom. Gasoline and shredded soap mixed in glass bottles to gel up your accelerant a bit might help as well. You still might not burn the place completely down but it should do enough damage to require it to shut down for a good while for fixes.
Hypothetically, of course.
Like the Station fire and the recent one at the ski resort. The hot air coalesces above until it reaches flashover, after which it almost instantaneously ignites everything below it.
Soap is flammable?
Soap + gasoline is basically napalm. Styrofoam is also viable instead of soap.
At a high enough temperature, most things are.
and throwing a propane tank into the building
Not all heroes wear capes. Some simply distribute propane and propane accessories to those in need.
Technically this is legal, as long as you yell, “surprise!”
There’s also a provisionthat also allows “SURPRISE MOTHAFUCKA!”
It’s called the SLJ allowance.
SUPPLIES MOTHERFUCKER!
SOME FRIES MOTHERFUCKER
Sore thighs muthafucka!
That’d actually be the EK allowance, since Erik King is the guy that plays Doakes in Dexter.
