Those are not mutually exclusive. Looking at google street view, I'm pretty sure both apply in this case.

And we're talking about an "artist community" in California here, which I'm certain means drugs was very much a large part of whatever was going on. I'll accept that the drug war was not a primary cause, but it's a part of why these people were involved in shady dealings.

Wow.
The video, posted to Facebook last month, shows 22 men standing completely still and brandishing guns outside 5012 Powell Drive in Huntsville.

The mannequin challenge is a viral Internet video trend in which people try to stay completely still as if they were part of a Madame Tussauds wax exhibit, typically with the song “Black Beatles” by Rae Sremmurd playing in the background. The shootout video, however, makes use of “Ain’t No Comin’ Down” by TEC & Maine Musik.

True, but when rent is involved I think we can remove "abandoned" from the equation. We should also then be able to add building and fire codes which have nothing to do with the war on drugs.

Yes, they were "artist community" folk, and drugs do go along with that, but so does a lot of bullshit thinking. I'll accept that the party wasn't being held at police HQs because of drugs, but I'd argue that stupidity was the primary factor in everything about this tragic event.

Sometimes, just sometimes, people die because they ignored the rules (fire code). This is one of those times.

In other news, Malcolm's video link is hilarious. How dumb do you have to be to film that and not think about consequences? Where the fuck are the neighbors? There's 20 people outside pointing guns at each other and nobody called the cops then? Fuck that neighborhood.

If he can't handle a few penises coming at him, he really shouldn't be doing things that might land him in prison.

Russians will drink anything.
At least 48 people died in the Siberian city of Irkutsk after consuming hawthorn-scented bath lotion containing methanol as a cheap substitute for the ethanol in standard alcoholic beverages, the Russian authorities said on Monday.
Now, you might ask, "Why the fuck would you be drinking bath lotion?" Glad you asked.
The liquid was sold in local stores for around a dollar a bottle, compared with about $3 for a half-liter bottle of vodka.

Modern math. Actual middle school algebra problem:
"Tony can send 5 texts and 3 nudes in 19 minutes. He could also send 3 texts and 1 nude in 9 minutes. How long would it take him to send one test and one nude?"

Lena Dunham wishes she had had an abortion
While hosting Women of the Hour, the Girls creator recalled a visit to a Texas Planned Parenthood years ago, during which a girl asked her to share her experience with abortion.

“I sort of jumped. ‘I haven’t had an abortion,’ I told her. I wanted to make it really clear to her that, as much as I was going out and fighting for other women’s options, I myself had never had an abortion,”recalled Dunham, 30.

“And I realized then that even I was carrying within myself stigma around this issue. Even I, the woman who cares as much as anybody about a woman’s right to choose, felt that it was important that people know that I was unblemished in this department.”

She commended her loved ones, who have had to have abortions, for their “bravery” and “self-knowledge,” adding that she has realized her need to put her own stigma surrounding the issue “in the garbage.”


She concluded, “Now I can say that I still haven’t had an abortion, but I wish I had.”

The family that deals together...
A Florida teen texted his mother early Monday from the back of an ambulance: he had been in a wreck and needed her to grab the suitcase filled with marijuana and Xanax pills from his trunk, the police report said.

A Palm Beach County paramedic watched 19-year-old Nicholas Hipp type the text, the report indicated, so deputies searched the trunk.

They found nearly 150 alprazolam pills, more commonly known as Xanax and used to treat anxiety, about a gram of marijuana, a glass pipe and a scale in the trunk, sheriff’s records show.
The gram of weed is bullshit, although this is Florida so god only knows what retarded drug laws they have on the books. The 150 Xanax pills would require a bit more explanation.

One image springs to mind.

“Hey Shayne hows it going,” Lytle wrote, according to a probable cause statement. “You remember you said that you would help me kill my wife. I’m going to take you up on that offer.”
...
Authorities said a man in Washington state typed out a text message about a plan to hire someone to kill his wife and their 4-year-old daughter — but it was mistakenly sent to his former boss, not a hit man.

It sort of worked.
A 25-year-old woman died Tuesday after she was thrown into a fire to drive “demons” from her body, Nicaraguan authorities said, quoting witnesses as saying she was stripped naked, burned and thrown into a gully.
...
Prosecutors said evangelical pastor Juan Gregorio Rocha Romero and four other people had been arrested.

Rocha Romero denied wrongdoing, telling the newspaper La Prensa that the woman fell into the fire without anyone pushing her and a demon exited her body.
...
The Assemblies of God, the church to which Rocha reportedly belonged, issued a statement denying that Rocha Romero was one of its leaders.

Dumb-ass.
Fredzania “Zanie” Thompson, 19, and her photographer were standing between two train tracks in Navasota, roughly 60 miles northwest of Houston, around 12:45 p.m. local time when two trains approached from opposite directions.
You can mentally fill in the rest. Hint: the photographer lived.
