On Saturday, “an individual committed arson on a newly purchased ICE building” by breaking a window, igniting a fire and throwing a propane tank into the building, according to a U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson.

“The fire was quickly extinguished by the interior sprinkler system,” DHS said, noting that the suspect fled the scene after setting the fire. “The matter remains under investigation by the FBI.”

Nobody saw shit. Ok? Not a single fuckin word.

thank goodness only the FBI is on it, it would be a shame if they caught this individual

Arson, what arson?

I aint see shit

Another one?

Edit: So this is a different incident from the first one I saw. The first was in Kansas.

Surprise! It’s arson!

Technically this is legal, as long as you yell, "surprise!"

A whole PROPANE tank? GOD DAMN!

Every one of these moves increases insurance costs and makes landlords less inclined to rent/sell to ICE. Even though the sprinkler system put out the fire, water damage remediation isn’t cheap either.

No no, I saw the guy who did it. It was......THAT GUY!

Points at random guy wearing MAGA hat

He's probably wearing that to not seem suspicious! But that was definately him!

Yeah we're all surprised by this

There's also a provisionthat also allows "SURPRISE MOTHAFUCKA!"

It's called the SLJ allowance.

Should have just used the propane tank to blow up the mega-lo-mart ICE building.

That'd actually be the EK allowance, since Erik King is the guy that plays Doakes in Dexter.

Surprise mothafucka

and throwing a propane tank into the building

Not all heroes wear capes. Some simply distribute propane and propane accessories to those in need.

A true patriot fighting off the fake patriots.

Given Republican track record of trying to kill trump, successfully killing Kirk, etc it would not surprise me.

They ain’t gonna Kash shit

I know if i was in that local fire deparment this would be my highest priority. I would investigate the shit out of it. leaving no stone unturned. unturn all the stones yuppers.

How would one go about successfully burning down a building with a sprinkler system?

To be 100% clear, this question has nothing to do with the linked news story, I was just spontaneously reminded of a plot hole I'm trying to work out in a story I'm writing (in Minecraft).

A Song of Fire and ICE

Wait what’re we talking about nothing okey doke.

It is different. The one in kansas city mo just threw some glass bottles with alcohol at the windows and then lit them on fire. She didn't get through the windows. I don't think she even did meaningful damage.

Don't get me wrong, her heart was in the right place, but the attempt was very poorly conceived.

The guy with the MAGA hat? Yeah, he's the head of Antifa!!!

Title should read

Patriot liberates building from oppressive regime custody.

Kash me outside

You'd want a flammable liquid so that it floats on the water and spreads more the wetter it is.

Here's some reading on why https://www.nfpa.org/news-blogs-and-articles/blogs/2024/08/12/what-is-a-class-k-fire-extinguisher

Good luck with your story.

Not really? The sprinklers put out the fire. The flood damage might or might not be a hassle to clean up, but it's likely mostly mop work.

You can't put out grease fires with water... you need a different kind of system to put out grease fires... propane isn't grease

SUPPLIES MOTHERFUCKER!

I'd figure start from the top rather then bottom. Gasoline and shredded soap mixed in glass bottles to gel up your accelerant a bit might help as well. You still might not burn the place completely down but it should do enough damage to require it to shut down for a good while for fixes.

Hypothetically, of course.

As long as his mother doesn't turn him in he's safe.

Turn off the water main first?
Burn from the top down?
Fill the sprinkler pipes with gasoline?
Waterproof matches but bigger?

Soap is flammable?

SOME FRIES MOTHERFUCKER

At a high enough temperature, most things are.

Only arson I saw was the arson that chick.

Dang it Bobby!

We all learn and grow.

We are ALL Surprise

Soap + gasoline is basically napalm. Styrofoam is also viable instead of soap.

They have money to create concentration camps.

They don't have money to help the homeless, the poor, etc.

Depends on what kind of sprinkler system and how old it is. Some of them are closed systems and the water stays stagnant until it’s set off, so when it finally goes the water itself is a hazard because it’s been sitting potentially for years. It tends to come out very disgusting, black sludge that smells like actual shit. And then you have a whole specialized response and cleanup required because it’s loaded with bacteria.

They won’t clean it though, they’ll piss away more money to hire specialized cleaners and contractors to fix the damage

Don't worry, after the immigrants they'll have plenty of room to "help" the poor and the homeless.

Easy, just tape a lot of mops around your firebomb. That way, the mops absorb the sprinkler water and keep it from extinguishing the fire. Ofcourse you'd need asbestos mops as normal ones burn up by the firebomb.
Another option is to pack a layer of those tiny cocktail umbrellas around the bomb.

Anyway I'm sure both are available from your local Acme store.

Exactly, investigate everything even if it takes, say, 3 years.

To be honest, I expect things to get a lot worse after the midterms. I think people still feel like it's something they can do to change things, but after that I won't be surprise to see a lot more of this from both sides.

Fire extinguishers that are rated for Class K fires (those involving animal fats or cooking oils) are the only type of extinguisher that can be used on fires involving animal fats or cooking oils. This is because many other types of extinguishers will either be ineffective or could even make this type of fire worse.

1. WTF, people should be made more aware of this, but also
2. The only fire I have ever needed to put out was a cooking oil fire, and my type A B C extinguisher made very quick work of it (as well as a completely uncleanable mess).
3. Given 1 and 2, I have no idea whether I should replace the fire extinguisher in my kitchen with one that is class K.

Like the Station fire and the recent one at the ski resort. The hot air coalesces above until it reaches flashover, after which it almost instantaneously ignites everything below it.

JD Vance looks guilty as hell. It's probably him, Jim.
