HEMET, Calif. – Police say someone tried to blow up a gang task force building in Southern California by piping in natural gas.
Police say two officers from the Riverside County-based task force evacuated the building early Thursday after arriving for work and smelling a strong odor.

Prankster or vandal turns off meter, unscrews building supply pipe, attaches hose, pokes hole thru roof, pokes hose thru hole, then turns meter back on. Handily, it’s possible to attach garden hose fittings to gas pipes.
Call a war (if invasion is involved, that would be legitimate), or treat it as crime, but don’t try to mix the two.
The biggest gang in Hemet is AARP.
Could be, that’s a lot of work to go unnoticed, still it was not a bomb rigged building as noted in the video.
Typical gang-banger or drug dealer would have just fire bombed the building.
when the inner city got a hundred thousand or so for their little pieces of inner city during the ‘boom’ they moved to where it was less expensive and bought (or rented) houses, [and then came the defaulted]. Inner city moving to the rural/desert brought gangs and crime with them. Areas with retired/spread-outfarming populations are least equipped to handle the crime/gangs. The inner city people can’t go back to the inner city because they’ve been replaced, population wise. Happened all over Calif.
You to..I lived there in the 80’s. Biggest hazard was a blue haired lady behind the wheel of a car. apparently things have changed.
Sorry I didn’t word that better. I just meant that a light switch or heater turned on can ignite the right mixture...
“Biggest hazard was a blue haired lady behind the wheel of a car.”
Was probably my MIL LOL. We sold our place in Hemet ten years ago. Hemet was still a nice place then, but we could tell things were changing.
We think it started going down the drain when the City Council tried to discourage Snowbirds in the 1980’s while trying to change the town’s image. They had to reverse their course, but they damaged the towns reputation by what they did.
The RQSR is only 26 miles from Hemet, but we don’t go there anymore. No reason to go.
The story is a little skimpy. I saw the results of a Nat gas explosion in my daughters neighborhood. A family come home one evening, unlocked the door, turned on the light and it blew the walls out and the roof came perfectly down on the slab. The three of them were blown out onto the yard plus several windows were broken nearby...
You are a pro-union conservative?
That’s to bad. My kids really enjoyed Hemet. Had freedom back then. I commuted to Costa Mesa.
I still get tired just thinking about it. Yuk.
But I wanted my kids in a safe place. Like I said to bad.
IIRC Hemet, Ca. is the location of a major Scientology center called “Gold Base”.
“BOLO out for Hank Hill.”
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
I think he meant: Be on the lookout for Hank Hill. Mr. Hill sells propane and propane accessories.
I once saw two elderly women - in separate cars - back out of parking spaces, back into each other.
Re: Your Freeper page - Western Riverside County - been there, done that. El Rancho Quachi. Toolies - and I loved it.

San Jacinto, just around the curve not far from San Jacinto Jr. College. The main building is (or was) shaped like a ship. On the Ramona Expressway, the air is filled with the smell of onions.
