Pizza gate in Oakland?
Full title: EXCLUSIVE: Filth, chaos, weird religious symbols, feral animals and orgies - inside Oakland warehouse of horrors before deadly blaze as tenant tells of previous fires
Buddhism has swastikas and their meaning is not the same as the German ones. The swastikas in this picture though, seem to be the German kind.
I expect either Oliver Stone or Mel Gibson to make a movie about this strange event within the next four years.
Derick Ion, the bumbling ‘manager’ is vain, delusional and so amoral that, he will want to play himself, and not for free.
Probably the mayor’s mansion back when Moonbeam ran
the city.
It appears to have been more of a cult than a collective.
The refrigerator overloaded circuits as it strove to overcome the Global Warming surrounding it.
Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom wannabes?
Looks like a typical OWS hippy dippy artsy neo-hippy commune.
Sorry but zero damns given for any of them.
Filthy idiot hippies and fags doing filthy idiot hippie faggot things while the authorities look the other way and ignore the potentially deadly hazards they created.
That about sums this up and some filthy idiot hippie fags need to do some jail time now.
Bkmrk.
Someone took a picture of my man cave?
So this was a cleansing fire.
Hippies who prefer to live in squalor than to go out and get education and a decent job. How much of their so-called ‘art’ did they sell?
Darwin’s Law in effect.
First, the shrine appears to have a real human skull and a real ape skull. I wonder if those were from Asia, and if so, would the shipment have been illegal.
I have been present in situations when circuits were overloaded in an office. On those occasions, the circuit breaker always tripped before anything overheated. Therefore I wonder if there was a circuit breaker, and if so, was it the “old style” which can be circumvented by using a coin. I believe that it could be negligence if someone put together wiring without adequate circuit breakers.
So many clueless millenial ravers were attracted to this. The impoverished artists who lived there seemed to have a more concrete notion of how dangerous it could be. The millenial ravers seemed to lack a situational awareness of the cumulative risks of the location that they had willingly entered. It seems almost inconceivable that adult attendees would not somehow suspect that the event was not permitted and at a location that did not have the proper building code for such an event. My own thinking is that they derived enjoyment from attending events that are portrayed as avante-garde to the point of being legally and physically risky. The death themed murals, altars and rituals seem to be designed to advertise that avante-garde risk to unsuspecting members of the millenial community.
Most of this might not have mattered had the millenial attendees had some common sense. However, in any town and city there seems to be a category of folks who are almost totally separated from science and technology. These people would be clueless if presented by an emergency because they have no hard skills. Furthermore, these people with no hard skills are not generally aware that their lack of hard skills places limits on their common sense and situational awareness with respect to risk. I think this is a predictable outcome of the dumbed-down educational system that focuses on modern but unproductive themes of building up self-esteem and promoting social justice for protected classes, to the detriment of teaching science and technology. One can observe the effects even in the language of the 58 year old artist who complained about malfunctioning electric “transponders” though admittedly it seems enough in this particular case to get the essential message that she wanted to convey across.
Finally, in general, I think Oakland has less of a social awareness of the danger of fire than San Francisco. I believe that this lack of social awareness of the danger of fire carries forward into Oakland government. Oakland seems to have escaped big fires in much of its early history. In contrast, San Francisco had at least 5 fires from the time of its founding through the early 1850s, leading to a relatively tough approach towards building codes and enforcement from that point forward with respect to fire safety from the early days of the city’s existence.
Oakland should beef up its fire and zoning inspections in anticipation of more widespread problems in the next big Hayward earthquake (which is now overdue).
A fire was probably best for that place.
