Bad Neighbor of the Year

Granted I don't know much about explosives, but how is something stable enough to burn, but not carry out?

My guess is there is a lot more to this story that hasn't been released.

I am sure they have the evidence that is needed to charge the crimes that they are, usually a District Attorney would be part of that decision making process.

Lets not forget about the super accurate reporting that the news media gives us all

The home is so cluttered and dangerous that experts have decided it is impossible to safely remove the chemicals and explosives and now intend to burn the house to the ground sometime next week.

It is believed the fire will consume and neutralize the explosives without igniting them. However, in an abundance of caution, a number of homes near the house will be evacuated prior to the fire being set.

I'm certainly no explosives expert, but that sounds pretty scary. I wouldn't want to be the one to clean up the debris once the house has burned to the ground. The article says his house is rented. Forget bad neighbor, the thread title should read "Bad Tenant of the Year."

"we expect it to burn, we don't expect it to detonate"

lol famous last words.

Wow. "what's inside?". "I didn't know." "Let's set it on fire. Yea!"

Sounds like the kind of thinking I would do

I think the safest thing to do is to burn down all the houses around this house in a 1 block radius first. That way you create a decent fire brake. Plus, who knows what kind of dangerous and illegal things are in all those other houses? They haven't even been searched a little bit.
