...the people gathered around Almena were residents of the commune...

So now they are openly admitting that people were illegally living in the warehouse? How is this guy not in jail being held without bond on charges of negligent homicide?

Common Stockholm syndrome behavior for cult follower victims to exhibit slavish devotion to deadly cult leader.
Paging Jim Jones and HeavensGate members...

It’s not a commune, it’s a cult.

Some of the comments at the TMZ site are awesome.

“...a mellower millennial Charles Manson...”

That guy is a lunatic (and a dangerous one). Apparently, his sycophants have learned nothing about him nor about the consequences of their own leftist foolishness.

Stupidity eventually requires a great price of the stupid.

Commune leader?

Has anyone discussed with Janet Reno?

I had read in the first couple of days after the fire that at least twenty people were paying rent to live there; they interviewed one who was out when the fire struck.

This is a sad event, but these people sound more and more weird by the news piece. The original story sounded like a party in a vacant warehouse; then photos of the venue and the people started coming out, and it has morphed into something else altogether (transgenders, “commune”)...

Well they all have to be leftist morons to have been living in that commie cesspool. So I guess it’s not such a shock that they remain loyal to their libtard Dear Leader.

If they pool some money for tarps, they can move right back in.

I’m in the bay area for work this week. Local news keeps calling them “artists.” I can tell that this is code for something freakish, but not sure what it is.
They showed some pre-fire photos inside the place. It was a complete dump with plenty of safety problems.
No fire alarm system. No sprinklers. No fire exits from the upper floor.

They had to talk about how they are going to sue Oakland and get rich.

No need to involve Janet Reno. They’ve already been torched once.

I don’t know. NBC paid for his family to stay at the Marriot. The fn Marriot while 36 dead and who knows how many injured. Now it is said that the city hadn’t been inside the place in 30 years.

Denny’s staff comped the meal.

Would they have done it for the emergency responders?
