There is nothing that dies so hard and rallies so often as intolerance. The vices and passions which it summons to its support are the most ruthless and the most persistent harbored in the human breast. They sometimes sleep but they never seem to die. Anything, any extraordinary situation, any unnecessary controversy, may light those fires again and plant in our republic that which has destroyed every republic which undertook to nurse it.

Meth lab explosion on I-10, Baton Rouge, LA


Yea, that’s right: the lab exploded ON THE INTERSTATE. Apparently it was a mobile meth lab? Here’s the story:

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - State police say all lanes of Interstate 10 have been reopened. Troopers had closed I-10 in both directions Tuesday afternoon after an explosion inside a vehicle. Four people were injured, including a Louisiana State Trooper.

The shutdown was between Siegen Lane and Highland Road.

Early reports indicate a vehicle travelling down the interstate contained a meth lab that exploded, said State Police spokesman Sgt. Markus Smith.

It’s bad enough to make that crap in your own house and putting your family in danger, and it’s bad enough to sell it to others, ruining their lives. However, driving on the road with a meth lab puts people who aren’t making the choice to engage in meth-related activites in danger. This is why some people should just be shot.

Glad you don’t own a gun yet…it seems you would get “trigger happy” lol.

Just remember, as a Catholic I don’t do the whole “kill the stupid people” thing. I mean I might be wrong, but I think we’re PRO LIFE - even if the life happens to be a worthless moron driving around with meth lab endangering others.

Yeah, Derrick, my dad, and I drove past the closed interstate that afternoon. We actually found the entire situation quite amusing. Granted, we weren’t the ones driving next to the exploding meth lab.
