MORE FROM “ANONYMOUS” REGARDING THE HOOKAH LOUNGE FIRE.

By:  Anonymous Reader of SettleTalk


So many unanswered questions .. and I think it's time the voting public needs answers to them.

The unsolved and the covered up Hookah Lounge Fire. Get this. I noticed something.

Now, this business was not located in the best or the prettiest part of town by any means. There are no standards mandated. There are no flower beds or any type of demand for landscaping of any kind. The building next door is condemnable in fact. So, this wasn't for beautification you can just about bet that. They covered up the slab .. and covered it mighty good in heavy layers of dirt. Now why did they do that? 

In fire investigations, there are these things known as lines of demarcation. There are also things known as burn patterns that can be identified after a fire in slabs that might show, say, an accelerant poured on the concrete. 

Of all the fires I've seen, they tore this one down QUICK .. and they covered it up fast. Literally covered over the slab with dirt that costs money. Nobody would waste money in an area like this unless they were trying to cover up something.

All the while, it's been a full year and a half and the Fairfield Condo fire decay, is still standing in an area of a mighty commanding tax base that does have property standards and that does take beautification seriously. That is still standing. But, this was gone quick with the slab covered up.

But, notice the buggy? There are no standards in the area this was located in. Next door is an old dilapidated burger joint with a homeless camp on the side and piled up trash in the back.

Why did they cover that slab up?

Many people online called that fire an Arson as soon as it happened. It was very blatant. The part-owner going on about how it wasn't arson, it was god's  blessing. Odd way of putting it. I didn't know the Lord burned down buildings. She even said 'yall I'm glad it burned. I would have been stuck in a lease for 3 years.' She has a rap sheet. Sounds like a career criminal to me.

And, let's not forget a politician who is now in a run-off. He was conveniently out of town in Houston when the fire happened. Check the KSLA phone interview. (look up signs that arson may have been committed. One of the tell tell signs .. Owner conveniently out of town when the fire happened. That is one of the signs. Notice they conveniently left the felon behind to .. let's just say, be the last one out at 12:35am with it being a fully flashed inferno by 1:05am. That means the fire was started sometime between then and was wreaking havoc inside before the flames became visible outside, set back off in the corner on a dark night with little traffic. The flames had to be pouring out the roof for someone to see it. 

Seeings how there has never been an official report released on that fire .. and the fact that its a Politician who ran a ram-shackle hookah lounge under a permit that said 'bar' (when if they would have put the actual use, it would have been in breach of fire code and many more rules would have applied for it to even open. That 'bar' burned under suspicious circumstances with the Politician conveniently out of town. A Politician that was appointed directly by Governor John Bel Edwards to the Council, and who is now in the run-off.

There are a lot of unanswered questions that I think the public needs answers to if they are going to vote. Want to reduce crime? You had gang signs flashed in the photos by Councilman Jackson and whataya know .. a drive-by happened last night outside his campaign headquarters. (be real .. if we want to combat crime .. let's identify where it comes from and let's not give criminals keys to the city to wreak havoc and commit more crime).

So what did they cover up?

See the buggy. This wasn't for beautification. Why is that slab covered?

Arson signs:

'Fire fighters notice fire not burning normally'

KSLA article:

Chief Clarence Reese:

“I’ve never witnessed anything like that in all my years of seeing a fire of that magnitude. They tell me firefighters were out there for a while to get it under control, so it was a massive fire.”

Other reports say it took so long to put out because they had to turn the gas off and they were working to carefully dig as to not hit AT&T fiber optic cables.

So, gas eh? Is that why it burned so hot for so long? 

Just look at how much they covered up that slab.

That would otherwise be seen as a waste of dirt and waste of money. There has to be a reason.

With him running for office, flashing gang signs, getting preferential treatment with city-owned property after lying about permitting and what then you have to wonder if the drive by at the headquarters was something .. could it be gang activity? He's throwing up gang signs himself   Go to Dempsey Sumlin's page. Gang signs  

Do we want crime reduced in this city? If we want crime reduced, we can't let criminals run the city.

Questions need asked. Answered need given.

Why is this slab covered? 

It's time to get corruption out of Office.


KTAL:

'When the first units arrived on the scene five minutes after the call they found the building fully engulfed in flames. While battling the blaze a mayday was called, pulling all team members out while a rapid intervention team went in to rescue a firefighter.'

KTBS:

"Firefighters went in to extinguish that fire in several different locations." [Arson sign]

and

' Hours after the fire was brought under control, a gas main continued to burn at the scene. Gas company crews were having to be extra careful making repairs in the area because of the large number of fiber optics lines in the area around AT&T. ' [Arson sign]
