>>1289714>GDOT already head its own guidelines for storing flammable items in and under its structures, the agency didn't consider HDPE conduit flammable since it takes a deliberate act of arson committed by a trespasser in a locked area to set it alightWhich has now been revised after the damage it was able to do. If a man allegedly lighting a chair on fire is enough to burn the shit down, it is not "non-flammable" and should not be stored under a bridge. Also, the area was not locked and not adequately fenced. You can see from the pictures that anyone could have literally walked in there, and homeless people frequently did. It is entirely on GDOT for being utter failures at keeping their storage areas secure.
>Yes that's how plea deals work. Basic stuff desuAnd without any corroborating hard evidence, the testimony of two crack addicts who are trying to not go to prison is not enough to convict. How stupid are you that you can't understand this.
>The pipe had been stored there for about 5 years with no problemsThis does not matter. You can have unsafe practices for years without actually having an accident. But once you do have one and get put under the microscope, you are in for a reaming. "We've always done it this way" is a piss poor excuse and you're retarded for trying to using it as an argument. They fucked up for storing large amounts of flammable material under a major overpass, they fucked up by not making sure it was secure, so they tried to scapegoat a homeless man instead of owning up to their mistake.
>A black man committed multiple crimes and you're wrapped up in your own white guilt trying to absolve himI don't give a shit that he's black. I don't know if he did it intentionally, accidentally, or at all. But there is not enough evidence to prove he did (other than basic trespassing), and a man is innocent unless you can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt he is guilty. Skin color does not and should never enter the equation.
