In some cases (maybe not this one) emergency vehicles are going in, though. Saw that in some clips from the Ft. McMurray fire evacuation in a talk just the other day.

Nothing like seeing that sweet, sweet daylight after THAT harrowing escape. 

If you can’t get out and don’t have a wilderness firefighter’s emergency shelter — which cannot withstand direct contact with fire for more than a few minutes; wildfires can burn for 90 — your best bet is probably a pool or body of water, prayer, and a paid-up life insurance policy.

The transition from completely darkened hellscape to calm, sunny day is the most surreal thing about that video

Glad this family is safe and sorry for the people who’ve lost their homes  

Wow. How does one get measles, mumps and smallpox all at once? Bad vax?

That would have been something to watch…

I don’t know if he ever actually played the role before, but in my mind’s eye, John Henry always looked like Michael Clarke Duncan.

So you are saying he is a 4chan poster?

When you call the cops, they have to follow the minimum protocol. The cops did not follow this girl around or randomly pull her aside for her ID. They were CALLED to the scene.

The blame needs to be on the white grad student that wasted the police’s time.

To be fair, Yale university police did follow protocol and checked ID. Given our current environment with shootings, that is justified.

Yes it is. I’m a CT local. And racist incidents among the so-called progressive crowd don’t surprise me in the least.

Becky McWhitetears needs to get herself some business. You’re that pressed about a Black student napping in a common area? You’re at Yale. Read a book. Do some homework.
