Did people with the city take bribes to let this place stay open?

No, if you are hippie, no law. That place is complete lawless. Scary to go.

Not a single concern for the dead. That’s liberalism for you.

When I grow up I want to be an illegal artist and live in an enclave.

.Derick Ion Almena has been identified as the operator of the Ghost Ship venue and Satya Yuga Art Collective where a fire broke out Friday night He wrote: 'Everything I worked so hard for is gone. Blessed that my children and Micah were at a hotel safe and sound' 'It's as if I have awoken from a dream filled with opulence and hope.... to be standing now in poverty of self worth,' he continued

What a narcissistic piece of trash.

Not a word about all those died horrific deaths in that fire. Just whining and moaning about his loss.

The City of Oakland bears much responsibility. City officials were well aware that this inherently unsafe building was being used as a residence and a site for big parties or “raves”. For whatever political reason, these officials refuse to enforce the law. The building was neither vacated nor sealed. It will be interesting to see in the coming lawsuits just who was making money and who was receiving “political donations”.

Apparently, the place was owned by an elderly Vietnamese man. His daughter would show up once a month to collect the rent and residents were instructed to tell her they only worked, not lived there. At one point electricity was illegally pilfered via extension cords from an adjacent structure.

Oh my God. Yeah, that's what you say to the parents of the kids who died in your warehouse. Damn...

This guy, Derick Ion and his wife, Micah, are a couple of disturbed people.

Everybody wanders about their future method of dying. Fire has got to the worst.

I’m not understanding why 2-3 days after the fire a mere 20% of the building has been searched. Which means 24 corpses have been found in a mere 20% of the building. It doesn’t seem all that large a building.

I can’t recall an event here in the 45 years I’ve been out here something killed 24 people, the notable exception being the collapse of the Nimitz Freeway during the 1989 earthquake.

They’ll somehow get around to it and blame Trump.

Wait, you mean buckets of oil paints and turpentine soaked rags are a fire hazard?

Strange. Just a couple of nights ago, on some channel, I watched an old CSI Las Vegas episode in which this very thing happened.

So let me get this straight: There is tax money to spend on unnecessary social programs, condoms, etc. Yet no money to spend to enforce all the regulations that the liberals passes like candy.

Also looks like the inspectors are weak to force themselves in to check the premises. Hell someone should have told them there are Tump supporters and people who cling to their Bible and Guns, I bet you they would be kicking the door down.

Being born in Oakland myself and now live in the East Bay,I do feel bad that these were young people who still had a life ahead of them. Yet watching videos, and reading the missing victims facebook page . For me they are lost soul. I can only pray that during their final acknowledgement that they were going to die. I pray they cried out to God for mercy. That place was so negative and filled with false Idols and demonic looking art.

No doubt the City turned a blind eye so they can continue collecting property taxes. For liberals eventhough they speak about Social Justice crap they are just as much greedy for money like the very people they scream about.

All we can folks, it just pray for the families because Christmas will be so painful for them.
