It says something about people, specifically and generally, when they automatically attach nefarious intent and actions to others, just as it says something about people, specifically and generally, when they automatically think the best of others or give the benefit of the doubt until facts emerge. Others being individuals, groups, organizations, companies etc... What a fascinating look inside the minds of people this thread has been. :wink:
On the specific topic of combustion at this residence; smart precaution to have a working smoke detector in the garage.
If only the FULL facts were presented in a timely manner (within a reasonable amount of time of the event) by an acknowledged reliable NEWS resource, perhaps some of the hypothesis would not be necessary.
Generally speaking, people on this board tend to be very bright, insightful and resourceful, and any untruths or partial truths tend to get the worst of it in the end.
I do think the REPORTING of the event is suspect (as well as the source), along with the timing of its release and some of the attributed quotes.
Personally I would need a lot more FULL set of data/facts to better understand what ACTUALLY occurred.
Taking your advice: Off to Home Depot for a fire detector in the garage.
