Anyone who would set off explosives during a burn ban is a real Waco, uh, wacko...

Jeeze, even Jamie, Adam and crew know to go to a large dirt lot like an old quarry to blow stuff up!

“That to me is a corner on stupid,” Edwards said.”

I think that is the very mission statement of the BATF.

The ATF has a history of setting fires in Texas

I guess we know where Roy Weaver went after leaving the park service.

We’re the federal government, we’re here to help. Actually we are here to make problems, set fires, and cost people money. We’re the ATF, we can do whatever we want!

ATF — we don’t listen to nobody — we will not be held accountable to anybody. Screw the state and its citizens.

Solution: cut off funding PERIOD

I would LOVE the sheriff to arrest them the same as he would any rednecks who pulled a stunt like that. Poeple in CO have been jailed and charged for slash fires that got away.

Charge them with violating the burn ban. In Texas, that is pretty serious.

How stupid can stupid get?

Yikes

Just more evidence of the "rules and laws don't apply to us" attitude of the BATFE.

Not the only Government agency with that problem.

Calculate the damages, if that falls into the range to make it a felony (or even a misdemeanor), I would say that that local Law Enforcement has the authority to arrest every ATF agent involved with the fire as a result of their stupidity...

Why protect your relationship with a Federal Agency if they are complicite in a feloneous act...

Greg Abbott??? Where are youuuuuuu???

Incredible! But then it IS BATFE, and it IS the flippin’ the wee birdie Obama administration with support from long entrenched bureaucrats in Leftist created bureaucracies.

It’s all got to change. They, and theirs have to go.

We have to have the fortitude to flip the wee birdie back at ‘em, and follow up with a doubled fist.
