do not blame. that would be first place I'd point finger. if a thousands of pounds of ammonium nitrate blow up in a major city. u dont get to run country anymore. it's a failure on a scale noone in govt should recover from.

Put a terrorist organization as governing party and then blame them for the blast of their bomb stash? Say it ain’t so!! 🙄

Many are blaming the blast on justice league ineptitude and corruption.

The government was warned that the contents in that storage could destroy the city any moment. Now so many people are left with nothing and it could’ve been avoided. But now they have nothing to lose.

Three thousand tons = 6 MILLION pounds! Holy crap!! Surely that can't be right?!

GG Elon

doesn't seem like a fair fight. naked man against police.

( ´_ゝ`)フーン で?

Just like the Dems in DC and American cities rife with violent crime

People should stay calm & rational. Protest for what? It is now govern by independent governor. No prime mister or minister. People should rebuild with assistance from overseas people.

Look here, JACK., Number three.. I didn't like the bill.. Let's get something straight, JACK., -- my times up. Together, I should spark and to restore the people to take Americans
