    More than a smoking gun...

    It appears a smoking garbage truck may have caused the Sandalwood fire this week...
    Video shows the moments before a trash truck dumped burning garbage in the area, igniting the blaze which resulted in the loss of 76 structures, mainly homes at a hilltop mobile home park, according to fire officials.

    You’re a garbage truck driver...not the sharpest tool in the deck or you would not be a garbage truck driver, right? You have a fire in your truck. What would you do? He obviously did the wrong thing. Is it criminal and if so, what crime?

    I guess, like the guy said...dump the load in the middle of a wide highway. Was there one close? A panicked garbage truck driver is probably going to make the wrong decision most of the time. Wacojoe probably would too. Depending on the location, there might not have been a right decision.

    The worst thing, and not mentioned prominently, is that there was at least one death and others burned.

    I have to say Joe, that philosophy does mirror the same principle as your "allowance" for trump

    Wonder if they will shut down garbage pickup when there is a windy day?
