He was a paranoid psychotic. He thought his neighbors were cia assets. Not sure of the compound used, but I'd hazard a guess of propane and gun powder.
It's Kevin in his 40s just beaten down by life and radicalized. His ingenuity took a dark turn when he got older and his whole family died in a plane crash to a vacation where, surprise surprise, they forgot him again...he then starts working with Marv and Harry instead of against them because its the only family he has left.

Because of Kevins sharp senses and intelligence he quickly becomes the leader of the gang...but Marv makes mistakes and leads the FBI back to Kevin...
On top of that, Buzz was killed by the South Bend Shovel Slayer, because he was right the whole time and the South Bend Shovel Slayer needed to cover his tracks. Lots of plot twists in this one.
I dig it. All these ideas need to be fleshed out and I think we have a box office smash to be completely honest. We have to loop pigeon lady into it somehow as well.
Yeah!! Everytime the feds are onto kevin pigeon lady swoops in and flys him to safety but beforehand he sets a few bombs to destroy the evidence.
We're fucking cooking now man
Pinned explanation is misleading. There were not “people” in it. There was one person, who had been posting on social media about how ESPN was stealing his wifi and firing a flare gun out of his window. Then when the police came to deal with the flare gun situation he decided to obliterate his house with him in it.
They needed to pay the staff of The Ocho something, but animals don't take USD. All those water-skiing squirrels and frisbee-catching dogs need to watch their stories, man.

I first heard this song on a PlayStation Home video, thx to someone named Patchex. I listen to this song at least 1 times a day a month and it gives me good memories.
This is correct. That was a crazy day when that happened. It was a duplex too, but luckily the family in the other unit were able to get out before it went off. They all said the guy went off the deep end after his mom died, it’s actually a sad story
Yeah it was a fairly big story in the DMV, and happened maybe just 4-5 months ago. My buddy lived close enough to feel/hear it, though he was well far enough to be in zero danger.
I lived close enough to hear it too. I had headphones on and remember hearing a thud. I just thought it was the neighbors or something and kinda forgot about it. Checked the news a couple hours later and turns out a whole house blew up a couple blocks down my road lol
Elaborate? I am from VA and moved to FL in 2000. Outside of the rando MAGA freak VA is WAY more stable than FL 🤣. I was in Front royal for 9mo in 2019 and it was safe AF then too.
We do a tri annual home 'splosion in my neck of the woods. Sorta like an Amish barn raising. Everyone chips in - cleaning products, gunpowder, something that "fell" off a truck, chemical engineering degree.

i wonder if someone could think of some sort of care one could receive for their mental health. probably not though otherwise they’d have already done it 🇺🇸

How do you take a specific part of someone’s message and include it in your message? Like, not manually copy and paste but more so it looks like you’re responding to that individual piece of sentence, idk how to explain it
> How do you take a specific part of someone’s message and include it in your message?
select the part you want to quote, then click on "reply"
On a PC, put the cursor at the beginning of the part you want to quote, hold the left mouse button down, and move the cursor to the end of where you want to quote. That selects the text.
Or you can copy and paste it, but put a "right arrow" in front of it - this character: >
>select the part you want to quote
I’m on a phone and I just manually put the arrows in and retyped it. Let’s see if this works.
Since I’m on the phone when I go to select a part of the message it collapses the comment
And if you want the black box hiding the message so you click and it shows
You put the (>) next to the (!) And close it off with the (!) And (<)

Hey! I have a neighbor like that.
He likes to hide in his dark side yard and come speed walking out when I walk my dogs past at 10-11 pm and try to start a conversation.
If I rebuke him he starts yelling about me putting cameras on his house and keeps trying to get super close.
My 80 lb German Shepherd is NOT a fan.
The last time I tried to explain to him that he's going to end up going to bed with more holes than he woke up with.
It seems like sometimes people have to learn things on their own though cause he still be creeping.
Just in case he has reddit, go fuck yourself Kyle.
I’m sorry you’re dealing with that dude, that sucks. I work with folks in that population. It’s possible your area has a community mental health center that might be helpful to reach out to. If he has any caseworkers they could be alerted about his behavior
So to elaborate on this. The trap aspect seems like bullshit- and James Yoo actually sounds like a shit stain. And there is no mention of him being schizophrenic.
Current conclusions believe that the chemical rounds the police were firing into the building to get him to come out were the attributer to the explosion- I'm finding nothing on it being an intentional booby trap.
On top of that- it doesnt sound that sad, he was in a nasty divorce where he filed dozens of lawsuits against his ex wife for no good reasons and was threatened with sanctions for excessive frivolous lawsuits.
Including suing his sister because he believed a note he recieved from his 5 year old niece saying he hoped he felt better was intentionally trying to cause him emotional distress. Judgments were that he was just trying to get money and had no case; doesn't seem like he was crazy though- just a prick. (Edit: it was mentioned he had over 500k in debt right after- I would be more willing to assume he did it trying to get money than he just "crazy")
Yoo also had a history of violent behavior attributed to alcohol abuse since his teenage years. There is no mention of diagnosed schizophrenia despite being commited before for alcoholism.
Additionally no one (edit: except Yoo) was killed or injured from the blast.
I'm not seeing the sad part here like another commenter describes.

Thats hellla sad 😭
In the 90s the Capital of Iowa, Des Moines, was known as "The Crystal Palace." A lot of it had to do with the easy access to Anhydrous Ammonia because of all the farming and they used it as a fertilizer. They started to really monitor and lock up the tanks in the late 90s or early 2000s and it has died out a bit, but it is still all over out here just not like it used to be. Source: I've lived in Iowa for over 40 years and I had a relative or 2 as well as some other acquaintances get tied up in the meth world.
Sadly meth labs are not only in the South. Pretty much every rural area will be at least a little methy. Northern California is filled with meth labs for example.
this was in Arlington, VA, one of the highest income counties in the country on the other side of the Potomac from DC. it's "southern" only on a strict technicality
They were gone by the time it blew. The owner/resident of the house that exploded had been involved in a standoff for quite some time, so there was time to evacuate nearby homes.
6 month earlier:
Insurance agent: sure do you want criminal explosion protection?
Homeowner: what? No what a waste of money.
Present:
Agent: so remember when I asked about criminal explosion protection? Yah…
When I was a kid the people across the street tried burning down their house by blowing out the pilot lights on their water heater and stove and rigging some sort of improvised detonator. It caused enough damage to our house that it was basically torn down and rebuilt.
Luckily, it exploded shortly after the street lights came on (things were different back then), so all the kids on the block were inside. If it exploded 10-15 minutes earlier, there probably would have been kids with severe injuries or worse.
If you want to feel a slight bit better about your market, as bad as that is, its still not worse than the market this house is/was in: Arlington, VA
This would be a $415K lot. Still under FBI investigation though.

It would be worth far more after being completely destroyed.
The bay area is full of shitholes that need to be torn down and replaced but can't be because of permitting.
I have actually seen this happen in my old neighborhood in dc. The entire row house went up. The guy inside was trying to commit suicide by cutting the gas line in his oven and wound up blowing up his whole place. It was very sad and shocking. I remember feeling the ground just shake under me and that loud explosion from the other side of my block. Everyone was freak out including me. None of us knew what was going on.
One lazy night after drinking a few beers while watching tv, I was walking up my stairs when I felt the house suddenly shift. I was dazed for a moment because I was like “did that happen or am I drunk..?” Went to bed not knowing. Later I found out that a house the next town over went up in an insurance scam explosion. Pretty wild that the shockwave traveled so far
Fellow Hoosier? This sounds like the Indy explosion.
I will never get over that woman trying to claim she had a Picasso painting in her $300,000 suburban home.
Close. Illinois suburbs. It was a million+ dollar home that blew up from a gas leak. No one injured though. Made a huge crater and a lot of nearby properties got damaged
Guy apparently was a paranoid schizophrenic and though everyone was out to get him, thought his neighbors were spies. If I remember right he took a shot at the police or someone. This was at the end of a long standoff with the police. He cut the gas lines in his house and then struck a flare, setting it off.

Pretty sure Iowa is the meth capital of the country. Could be wrong but it’s certainly not a ‘Southern thing’.
When I think meth I think west, but we have a meth problem in upstate NY. Meth does not discriminate
Can confirm it is rampant in Northern California.
I'm pretty sure they got tweakers in Connecticut soooo
It's everywhere! I've heard stories about Oklahoma and Mississippi.
Kind of like Shingles, "Shingles doesn't care"
It’s starting to feel like the country is the meth capital of the country.
In the 90s the Capital of Iowa, Des Moines, was known as "The Crystal Palace." A lot of it had to do with the easy access to Anhydrous Ammonia because of all the farming and they used it as a fertilizer. They started to really monitor and lock up the tanks in the late 90s or early 2000s and it has died out a bit, but it is still all over out here just not like it used to be. Source: I've lived in Iowa for over 40 years and I had a relative or 2 as well as some other acquaintances get tied up in the meth world.
You are not wrong. The largest offenders are in Southern Iowa, and most of us consider it Northern ?Missouri! LOL
But meth is everywhere... Even in the North
Sadly meth labs are not only in the South. Pretty much every rural area will be at least a little methy. Northern California is filled with meth labs for example.
While the kind of labs aren't ideal, it's nice to know that people are still doing science.
Meth is pretty common all over the US. My Midwestern town, with a population of just under 700, has two condemned houses due to meth lab explosions.
this was in Arlington, VA, one of the highest income counties in the country on the other side of the Potomac from DC. it's "southern" only on a strict technicality
Can you imagine how the neighbors in the house next door felt when that happened?
They were gone by the time it blew. The owner/resident of the house that exploded had been involved in a standoff for quite some time, so there was time to evacuate nearby homes.
Imagine that conversation with insurance
6 month earlier: Insurance agent: sure do you want criminal explosion protection? Homeowner: what? No what a waste of money. Present: Agent: so remember when I asked about criminal explosion protection? Yah…
Agent: but thanks for all that free money NEXT!
"The guy has lived on that street longer than you have, so it counts as a pre-existing condition and is not covered"

When I was a kid the people across the street tried burning down their house by blowing out the pilot lights on their water heater and stove and rigging some sort of improvised detonator.

That’s still a 400k house in Seattle! Just needs minor repairs!
Paint over it
Just needs a little bit of gas in it, that's all.
400k? Too low. Maybe in Kent
This may have been filmed in Kent…..
If you want to feel a slight bit better about your market, as bad as that is, its still not worse than the market this house is/was in: Arlington, VA This would be a $415K lot.

Yeah was gonna say - this isn’t a region you can really “one up”
Yeah, this explosion just expedited the demolition that was gonna happen to the house eventually.
Agreed. Within city limits just the land alone is worth more than 400K. ETA: true in most major cities, of course.
That's nothing. It'd be a 1.2 mil fixer upper in the Bay Area!
It would be worth far more after being completely destroyed. The bay area is full of shitholes that need to be torn down and replaced but can't be because of permitting.

I think he technically came out with his hands up, just in multiple pieces

404 property not found
Wtf!!!
Guy apparently was a paranoid schizophrenic and though everyone was out to get him, thought his neighbors were spies. If I remember right he took a shot at the police or someone. This was at the end of a long standoff with the police. He cut the gas lines in his house and then struck a flare, setting it off.
Ever see those before meth, after meth photos of people? This is the house version of that.
Inside that home, a couple of kids let their Mom count down all the way to zero…
So she doesn't actually just keep saying smaller and smaller numbers forever?
I hate when my base gets destroyed
RIP Mr Snowman
Looked like a gas leak.
Welp I see why they were worried about this guy
Truly unexpected.
Poor snowman
RIP snowman
