    Reap what you sow dumb MF'ers. They voted in the dildos that allowed all this to transpire, didn't do enough to get rid of them & now it's time to pay the piper.
    Most fucked up part is, they'll move somewhere else that hasn't been destroyed yet, bring their bass-ackwards ideology & end up w/the same BS they tried to leave behind.

    As it should be, in a common sense reality of squatting is illegal on private property (& should be on public property as well, when no fee has been paid).

    ROSE HILL, Kan. (WIBW) Officials in Southeast Kansas are trying to figure out how a large boa constrictor ended up in a Butler County living room.
    According to the caption, The Rose Hill Police Department asked for their assistance after a resident found this 6-foot-long snake inside their couch.

    The agency says their resident snake charmer, Deputy Fire Chief Linot was able to wrangle the snake out without injury.

    Officials say the resident has lived in the home for about four years and the snake was not theirs.

    The Butler County Fire District #3 says they are now searching for the reptile's owner, and ask for anyone missing a snake to call them at (316) 776-0401.

    DALHART, Texas (KFDA/Gray News) - It’s a new social media challenge that has kids mixing pennies, outlets and phone chargers and has been seen at Dalhart High School three times in the last week.

    “It’s sad to say, but you could lose a life over it. If a small toddler did this or a child did this because they saw their brother or sister watching this on YouTube, Tik Tok, Snapchat, whatever it may be,” said David Jones, Dalhart firefighter.

    The ‘outlet challenge’ has kids plugging a phone charger into a wall leaving enough space to drop a penny in between the wall and the outlet. When the copper of the penny hits the prongs of the charger, a rush of electrical current occurs.

    “When that metal object touches the top of the charger, you’re typically going to have a breaker that would trip because that high-end rush current, that breaker is designed to trip to keep that safe. That does not always happen, however, or happen quick enough,” said Nathan Hobbs, assistant electric operations manager at 1-800-PLUMBER.

    Because of the electrical rush that is created when the penny hits the prongs of the charger, it creates heat that could start a fire behind the wall without you knowing.

    Jones was called to Dalhart High School to inspect for fires behind the walls.

    “By the time they could see a fire happening, it could be to the point that a fire extinguisher may not control it, especially if it’s inside the wall itself. You’re more than likely not going to able to control it at all. It will need to burn through the wall before a fire extinguisher will be able to do anything about it. At that time if there is a fire and they can’t see it when we get there, we will have to break through the wall to find that fire and also check for extension into the wall,” said Jones.

    Electricians say any outlet that has experienced the 'outlet challenge' needs to be professionally checked to make sure the wires have not been compromised and are not leaking, which could create a fire over time.

    “Anytime you have that arc flash, you’re going to have a burn. Whether it’s the penny, the back of the receptacle, the cover plate or the wall or the wiring itself, there’s going to be a burn there,” said Hobbs.

    There have been reports of the outlet challenge happening in Amarillo as well.

    Some area police warn that in the state of Texas, this is considered a felony and if caught you could be charged with arson.

    I'm all for Darwinism doing its thing, but not if it could take out valuable breeders.

    It’s ok, they are all relocating to Texas anyways.

    “ Texas continues to be the most popular destination for Californians choosing to live in another state, with 86,200 Golden State residents moving there in 2018”
