    The reason the roof collapsed was due to the 100’s of people standing on it sucking in that smoke.

    A honey oil factory would use n-butane as a solvent. in criminal enterprise, the tanks don’t need to be labeled properly.



  49. @betahours9416 on February 17, 2024 at 2:46 am

    "what started as a car fire" "all kinds of different chemicals and some of those can be explosive!" so gasoline in the fuel tank of the car isnt explosive? some fed trying to spread nonsense about growing operations. Nah im sorry fam miss me with that



  50. @patmcbride9853 on February 17, 2024 at 2:46 am

    Can’t be true.
    The Dems swore that legalization would end illegal grows.
