    logo_USFS_USDAFlagstaff AZ (June 15, 2013) – UPDATE – Firefighters responded aggressively to yesterday’s Wild Bill Fire. It has been confined – meaning there is line around the fire and further growth has been stopped – and 50% contained at 26 acres. Crews will continue mopping up and ensure lines hold through the remainder of the day. Fire managers are anticipating full containment by tomorrow afternoon.

    The fire generally burned across the forest floor on level terrain in ponderosa pine forest, with some individual torching. Smoke can be expected for the next couple days.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them?

There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
