(NEWSER) – Two men and one woman have been arrested in connection with a massive fire that could leave traffic in Atlanta snarled for months. Basil Eleby, the man believed to have intentionally started a blaze that caused an overpass on Interstate 85 to collapse, was booked on suspicion of first-degree criminal damages to property, which could get him up to 10 years in prison, CNN reports. Two other suspects facing criminal trespassing charges were identified as Sophia Bruner and Barry Thomas. Authorities believe all three suspects are homeless. “We believe they were together when the fire was set and Eleby is the one who set the fire,” said Jay Florence, deputy commissioner of the state Department of Insurance. more

Not guilty. It was a Disco Inferno.
Coming soon to Seattle’s Alaska Way Viaduct, on ramps to I-5 and I-90…
Bridges, not walls.
Tack on attempted murder to those charges, just think about how many people would’ve died if the police had acted any slower.
Why is the state storing burnable materials
beneath bridges/highways? They should be held
accountable also.
Reboot, I’m thinking the exact same thing. What the hell?
It’s been moons since I’ve been near a big
city, but SanFran hobo hideouts and Seattle
hobo hideouts under the viaducts were allowed
and the libtards didn’t do anything about them.
“it wasn’t humane”. And then they would watch them
piss on the sidewalks.
Phuckem is the right answer I guess. I’m glad I’m
not even five thousand miles near that shit.
@reboot & @Bad_brad: I know! I know! Call on me!

Good thing the Muzzies didn’t find out about it.
What did these structural engineers/ghetto rats know about melting steel that infowars missed?
According to Rosie O Donut. Fire isn’t supposed to do that to a concrete and steel structure.
Ni663rs don’t what us to have nice things.
