Updated: 4:55 p.m. U.S. Rep. Tom Perriellos brother received a threatening letter in the mail on the same day that someone apparently severed a gas line at the home in Ivy.
Two conservative Tea Party activists posted the address of the home on the Internet on Monday, mistakenly believing it was the home of the congressman. One of the activists urged others to drop by and express their thanks for Perriellos vote in favor of health care reform.
Tuesday evening, Perriellos brothers family smelled gas and discovered the propane line of a gas-powered grill on their screened-in porch had been slashed.

VISINE: NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT
Rep. Tom Perriello, D-Ivy
Why would you sever it when you can just unscrew it?
_________________________________________________________
I find that curious, I wonder what brand it is.
My Aunt had the same thing happen with her old gas grill and worried kids had come into her backyard and done it.
I thought that a bit odd, why would kids do such a thing.
I wonder if there’s a brand of gas grill that has an issue with the gas lines?
So he’s using a gas grill INSIDE the porch/house? Not very bright.
You got that right. And, what moron leaves the propane turned on inside the house? Even outside for that matter!!!
Is there copper in those BarBQ lines? It could have been a meth head...lol
not enough details but this reeks of set-up.
I bet it was a set up.
“Clinton cemented a second term after the Oklahoma City bombing and using the media to portray it as the fault of Republicans.”
We are not the same gullible nation we were then. The Dems are going to have to find another Country (Mexico perhaps?) to destroy .... we’re onto their “social justice” ways.
I want to throw up every time I hear them speak about helping the poor. (lazy asses that won’t work and illegals) They are nothing but control freakin liars.
IMO, if the Commie B@stard in the WH was so concerned with the needed why did he change how much we could deduct to charities on our tax forms? He does not want churches or everyday good Samaritans helping the needy-he wants them DEPENDENT on the government.

You are probably right, and going for the sympathy vote. On the other hand, we need to prove these people the liars they are, or they will keep saying these things, even staging them, and the big 0 will declare martial law. He is NOT the turn the other cheek sort of guy GW was.
Does this guy always look this dumb/stoned?
Good analogy.
“Why would you sever it when you can just unscrew it?”
As a smart conservative you would know this, any liberal wouldn’t.
Drama queen.
Maybe we need a new federal agency to inspect all propance grills monthly. That’ll create new jobs! (sarcasm).
Ok... even if the line was cut... and we all know that if it was... that the owner did it... but notice that they have not said that the valve was turned on. A dim is just too friggin’ stupid to figure that out.

Yes... it is added just as with NG.

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don’t seem the same
Actin’ funny, but I don’t know why
‘Scuse me while I kiss the sky
Purple haze all around
Don’t know if I’m comin’ up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me
Help me help me
Oh no no... no
Yeah
Purple haze all in my eyes
Don’t know if it’s day or night
You’ve got me blowin, blowin my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?
When you unscrew the line from a propane tank you remove the pin that opens a safety valve. A properly operating propane tank will not spill or leak when the hose is removed. If you slit the line it could probably spill and create a terrible hazard, especially in a confined space. Propane is heavier than air and does not disperse quickly, even outdoors.
