I read witness accounts earlier, they heard some booms just before fire started. Could be gas leak.

This in Massachusetts? I just read a story about a warehouse going up in California with a rave going on yet it was an artist enclave. Coincidence?

Obama’s Trojan Horse has arrived.
Just in time for the Christmas season to burn us all out.
Did anyone really believe that all these muslim “refugees” were harmless?
What are our congressional members doing about it?
Have they told the media to ignore the ARSON JIHAD?

I do remember the Lizard Lounge. I think we’ve seen Charlie there. Did it burn? I did communicate with Matt at Passim and he said they’re okay.

And, if so, "they" are just hurting the useful idiots that support terrorists/terrorists' goals.

Seriously, Oakland and the PRC (Peoples Republic of Cambridge)?

I'm going to go with the liberal stupidity of actions without consequences.

Yes, I realize that now . . . was about to post my mistake. That’s what happens when I have two shots up at the same time - one was a press conference, as it turns out, in Oakland.

You’re likely right. Still, I’ll be interested to see the results of both investigations.

Understood!

But, I expect you’re right about Oakland. The more I read, the more code violations, blight complaints and non-compliance issues are coming up.

The owner, Mr. Ng, is going to find his life a hellish mess.

Obama’s urban renewal brigade? No eminent domain required. Rinse repeat.

Fires happen - all the time. We are fortunate with modern building codes and less people using fire for heat that they do not occur as much as they used to. Hope these were not arson.

Mr. Ng might be on the next plane to Vietnam, if he is not already.

Exactly. How many days will it take to get out if it is the case?
