Was watching Fox News against my will with family. They blamed ICE protestors, defiant Democrats, and open borders... for an accident.

To them the facts never mattered. Just their feelings. So it's plenty in script for them.

Wait if a bomb squad was moving explosives how were three deputies killed? Was it a sheriff's dept bomb squad? The article never says that the deceased were the bomb squad.

I can't help but wonder if there was no moving, just three goobers at a training facility who were allowed to play with explosives.

I was going to say ‘didn’t they just blow up a neighborhood with fireworks the same way a few years ago?’, but that was the LAPD. Of course they learned nothing from watching someone else fuck up.
