Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Initial reports and social media videos indicated use of pyrotechnic devices during the performance as cause of the fire, which engulfed the ceiling and spread to the roof.

Wonder how many people have to die before it’s finally decided that shooting off sparklers and fireworks inside nightclubs isn’t a good idea

Sounds like The Station fire in Rhode Island.

Kids in their 20's aren't kids, they are adults.

Nice. The important thing is using the correct naming for 20 year olds. 59 died, but who cares.
