Don't worry, after the immigrants they'll have plenty of room to "help" the poor and the homeless.
They'll even already have the facilities to house the homeless. |

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.

Filthy facilities are a perk for ICE, far as mistreatment of inmates go. |

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).
Use a ladder to climb to the top of the building. Break a hole in the roof. Pour in fuel. Match. Set. Go. Sprinklers are designed to pour down on the fire, not to shoot up at the ceiling. |

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.
Given time, I expect the regime to just use eminent domain to get what they want. Trump doesn't like paying people for stuff anyways, so it is a win for him. |

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.
Honestly I'm partially worried the midterms will go just well enough for folks to calm down. Even the bluest of waves aint gonna fix the shit that needs fixing. |

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. WTF, people should be made more aware of this, but also The only fire I have ev...
yeah, my dad got badly burned by an oil fire he didn't know what to do with and tried to walk out of the kitchen with. walked the burning pan out the house and got splashed as he threw the fire out into the yard. house was okay. his arm was not. happened before i was born. he made sure we all knew to have a lid handy. |

IMHO avoid the sprinklers from the roof or cut their water supply but if you can't do that self oxidizing compounds like thermite as well as composite mixtures like napalm(gasoline + Styrofoam in minecraft probably) with oil or bits of crushed sparkler. Ghengis Khan used birds. Bats have been used even more diabolically. Let history guide you |

You can easily release the sprinkler pressure from the outside before setting the building on fire. |

Break a couple of sprinklers that are accessible outside. The system is pressurized. They last about 30 minutes depending on how many valves are open. |

Okay idea. Black mold spores. And trigger sprinklers. ? |

I have heard of covering cars in bird seed to get the birds to crap all over them. Petty payback . Never done it but it sounds plausible. I mean that's just one person's car. But maybe the right person. You know,? |

Commercial fire systems treat a sprinkler activation as an alarm condition. You wouldn't be able to wait around for 30 afterwards. Fire department would be there which would cause issues for your plan. Modern commercial fire systems are very good. There are no simple solutions for arsonists. They would need physical access to the building disable the fire systems, or to be able to produce enough fire to overwhelm the spriniler's abilities to extingush it. Few have both the will and ability. |

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.
Think of it as a first draft. |

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!
Seems like the easiest way to keep from being investigated for this sort of thing is to wear a red hat. |
