South Carolina authorities say fire at judge’s home not arson

PM:

Authorities in South Carolina have said that there is no evidence that arson was the cause of a massive fire that consumed the home of Circuit Judge Diane Goodstein. This comes after staffers for California Governor Gavin Newsom as well as others suggested that Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon was to blame for the blaze after she spoke out against a Sept. ruling from Goodstein.

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) said that its investigation into the Colleton County fire has found no evidence of arson. SLED Chief Mark Keel said, “At this time, there is no evidence to indicate the fire was intentionally set. SLED agents have preliminarily found there is no evidence to support a pre-fire explosion,” per WCSC.

The fire in the Jeremy Cay Community on Edisto Island resulted in three people being sent to the hospital, and the home nearly burned to the ground. 

Governor Henry McMaster wrote, “SLED Chief Mark Keel has announced that at this point in the investigation there is no evidence the horrific fire at Judge Goodstein’s Edisto home was intentionally set. I echo Chief Keel’s call for everyone to exercise good judgment and avoid sharing unverified information while the investigation continues.” more

    Maybe one of those stupid goddam PTV’s that are everywhere there’s disposable income now.

  3. They must not have found the place in the front lawn where I used lighter fluid to write MAGA COUNTRY in 10 high flames.

    That’s a joke for the bots monitoring this site for any sign of political violence.

  4. I think it might have been someone farting into the fireplace after a nice meal of beans and rice…

    no one will ever admit this. “Cause unknown”, just like the COVID jab deaths.
