Now authorities face the risky task of getting rid of the explosives. The property is so dangerous and volatile that that they have no choice but to burn the home to the ground this week in a highly controlled operation involving dozens of firefighters, scientists and hazardous material and pollution experts.
Authorities went into the home after Jakubec was arrested, but encountered a maze of floor-to-ceiling junk and explosives that included 13 unfinished shrapnel grenades. Just how do you reckon that guy got all that stuff? |

>>CA home filled with explosives to be burned down
Is that the same thing as "blowed up"? |

Robots are great if you want to retrieve an explosive device. The house is filled with clutter, and chemicals are spilled everywhere. The place was discovered after a gardener got injured when he stepped in some spilled explosive powder outside of the house. |

Few years ago they had some tard in San Fran. making fireworks in his garage. His shit went up one day and took the place out.

Why not just ask him to go in and remove everything from the house in exchange for a plea deal?
Hell, he knows where everything is. And if he blows hisself up? Saves taxpayers $$$ for a trial. |

You guys, you know how when someone gets arrested with a small fudd gun collection, the media spins it as them having an arsenal of deadly tank piercing ak47 assault rifles, high powered shotguns, Long range sniper rifles and thousands of rounds of ammo?
This dude probably had a few packs of black cats and a couple boxes of sparklers. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Call me strange, but does setting a building full of explosives on fire seem like a bad idea to anyone else?

Hmmmm... man is arrested. Evidence is "found" but can't be removed. Man has not been convicted yet. So they burn the house down.
Something does not appear to be constitutionally correct here. Now, do I think this guy is innocent? Nope.... but I do think proper procedure is not being followed here. It goes like this.... 1. Individual is arrested and charged with a crime; this is possible because of probable cause, evidence, crime committed in presence of officer/official. Innocent until proven guilty. 2. Both the State and the Charged individual is prepare for the trial. Evidence is collected, statements are made, etc.... 3. Trial starts, evidence is presented, witnesses and charged individual testify, etc.... Trial ends and the jury decides. 4. If the charged individual is convicted, then the State can "remove" the explosives "safely". If burning it down is required, the State should reimburse the owner of the property (house) and also convicted individual for the lost property not related to the case. But of course in this day and age..... that's not going to happen. Shit like this pisses me off especially since I'm a LEO. I'm for defending the rights of others.... the State is not doing that. |

What I think is funny about this is that in the state of california they've all but banned wood burning fireplaces in residences but somehow setting fire to this particular toxic pile is *not* going to cause any toxic smoke to go beyond the house itself.
Seriously, that's what they've said. -Gator |

The only way this could get better is if they could helicopter in a dead whale's carcass and lay it on the house before they light it.

I'm for defending the rights of others.... the State is not doing that. much as I believe this guy is guilty of even deeper crimes than bank robbery, this was my first thought too. I agree with you but according to a friend of mine "in the know" as it were, it ain't just grenades and improvised explosives in that house. There is supposedly some bad, bad things in there. Things of a non explosive nature. Some of the info has made it's way to the media, there is "unknown powder" in the home and I read something on another board about an official who went in that house having his arm blister after contacting one of the interior walls of the home. That is why they are making such a huge deal about the controlled burn (evacuating the entire neighborhood, shutting down a major freeway etc). Looks like overreaction to most, but I believe there is a very valid reason for the way they are handling this. I hope they know exactly what they are doing by letting this place burn, if some of what is supposedly in there survives the temperatures of the fire and gets cast about by the wind, it could be very, very bad. It is a conflicting situation for sure and they are not handling it all properly IMO. Have also read the city went out of it's way to get a ruling to declare the house a "public nuisance" thereby denying the owner of the property any compensation for his loss (it is a rental house). Poor guy will probably get stuck with the bill for hazmat cleanup too. Will be interesting to see what comes out in trial. Unique situation for sure and I am conflicted about the need preserve evidence and the right of the BG to a fair trial VS something very, very nasty getting out of that place and spreading. |
