Gas lines, water lines, foundations. What if there is a box of propane canisters in there? The primary explision(s) there could set off organics before heat degrades them. Emergency declaration gives them the power to destroy private property without compensation. I think this could be better thought out.

On the local paper page, people are upset. Others are calling them wimps for worrying about fumes and such. Wait, aren't the people we pay to dispose of bombs being the wimps here?

Realistically disposal of an IED is not running into a unknown scenario and risking your life. There is a great deal of background information and certain situations cannot be managed with a robot. Yes, people get paid for disposal and people get paid for dealing with lunatics but not for needlessly risking their lives nor that of others or their property. Remember that this is not in some isolated area. There are complications we may know nothing about.
We really do NOT know all the facts: that's the one fact we can utilize in an intelligent discussion of a problem of this magnitude.

It's not racism to oppose the presence of illegal aliens in ones country. It is enablers of the problem who rename illegal aliens with euphemisms which would deceive about what they are, a deception that serves an agenda as all deceptions do, which is not a constructive agenda or else there would be no need for such euphemisms and deceptions at all.

That scenario with the house doesn't add up as being likely, or easily believable, the way it was reported. It seems more consistent with being a likely story, like a cover story. That's just a fact. Recognizing that fact doesn't qualify a person for a tinfoil hat. It is simply a perceptive observation based on reasonable grounds for incredulity, not having the whole true story .....which in fairness, they may not even know either.

Strange, this thread isn't titled "contemporary American politics free-for-all."
