Oakland death trap operator glad his kids and wife were at hotel

Last edited Sun Dec 4, 2016, 11:46 AM - Edit history (1)

Derek Ion, the lunatic with depraved indifference to his responsibility for the deaths of dozens in Oakland, had this to say on Facebook:

"Confirmed. Everything I worked so hard for is gone. Blessed that my children and Micah were at a hotel safe and sound... it's as if I have awoken from a dream filled with opulence and hope.... to be standing now in poverty of self worth."

Aw, gee, maybe we can take up a collection for him. He lost his stuff.

He's headed to prison and won't ever have two nickels to run together again.

Surprised more people aren't posting about this. I guess human life only matters when Trump can be blamed for its loss.

...which you can randomly wire with electricity and have a DJ dance party accessible by a makeshift ladder while your kids are safe at a hotel.

It's society's fault, obviously.

I saw it earlier, but can't find it now. He's a complete idiot in love with himself.
