I’ve been trying to get someone to show me the connection.
I’m suspicious when someone shouts fire in a theater. Is there one? Do I smell smoke? Do I see any flames?
I’m guessing there’s no connection. Reid’s about making money for he and his family, and this ranch thing is about the Feds wanting to make a point... that’s coming from someone’s ego (someone in D.C. probably).
Strangely enough, I was in a theater last year watching Hotel Transylvania. Frankenstein had just finished saying "Fire Bad!!". When this extemely polite female voice came on the speakers saying, "An emergency has been reported. Please make your way to the exits."
Turns out there really was a fire in the theater. Fire trucks showed up. Said it would be several hours before they resumed operation. But it was the politeness of the message that has stayed with me. They don't want to start a panic there.
