Astounding video shows the house erupt, sending debris in all directions as a SWAT vehicle sat outside. The sky was lit up in bright orange as glowing particles of the explosion fell down over the Virginia neighborhood.

After SWAT teams arrived, the unidentified person inside the duplex began firing at officers, it is claimed. They prepared to enter the property - only for it to explode in a huge blast that sent debris and a fireball roaring into the sky.

Exploding house was a duplex. I believe insurance generally does not cover terrorism, crime, or police actions so the folks next door are really screwed.

I heard on the radio this morning that the owner of the house was a bit of a loon, filing all sorts of lawsuits, and believed his neighbors were spying on him.

It blowed up real good.

Sounds like he filled the house with natural gas or propane and used a flare gun to detonate it.

He could have just said “I do not consent to a search.” 🤡

Was his name Dale Gribble?

“Errant Israeli bomb?”

If you got a warrant, I guess you’re gonna come in.

That doesn’t stop them anymore, does it?

If you were normal at one time, having to live in commie territory Arlington, Va nowadays will do that to you.

[null and void]

Next time wait until they force entry...

[vivenne]

In that area—they probably were spies.

The guy probably turned on the gas before firing off the flare.

Arlington Road

Underrated thriller about a domestic terrorist group starring Jeff Bridges.

It ends with a bang.
