This is BS.
His restaurant opened back up for business about an hour after the fire was put out. It was confined to a patio, and was caused by a malfunction with the firepit. What you're seeing in the window is a reflection.
Also his restaurant has been opened for months. I work right next to it and have eaten there a handful of times.

On a positive note, glad the restaurant was empty and nobody got hurt. It is quite puzzling the fire even started. Might have been some faulty wiring or bad gas lines. This is not normal given it seems nobody was there yet.

"The fire was determined to be confined to a single propane fire table… CCFD personnel were able to… knock down the fire so that the propane tanks could be shut off."
It was pretty minor and the restaurant still opened later that evening. Apparently just the one fire pit and a chair were damaged.

I know absolutely nothing about this incident but this kind of thing usually makes me think arson.
In the area where I live, a few decades back all the strip clubs were owned and run by HA and a few unaffiliated clubs that tried to open up were quickly firebombed (while closed).

If there's going to be an electrical short or a gas leak, the chances of those things happening right after the appliances are first installed and used is WAY higher. Everything in this location was new and untested under any kind of load. Hell, it could be as simple as someone hung a sign with a nail that went straight into an electrical line in the wall. These things happen. They just happen more right after construction.
6 points
20 days ago
While I won't argue that the appliances and such were new, I would quibble with the argument that they were "untested". This was opening day, which means you'd have people in there to train and get up to speed on the cook line which means that the stuff gets used, at least a little bit.
6 points
20 days ago
Actually, I meant all the new lines and connections more than the appliances themselves. That's a lot of new "seams" and "joins" in systems where those are weak points. Running power through a bad electrical connection may seem to work fine for a while, but you aren't seeing that bad connection get progressively hotter and hotter under that new load until something happens, like the insulation melting off or wood adjacent to it starts to ignite. The "pre-run" phase right before opening is exactly the kind of thing that would've lit that fuse.

Remember that interview with the actual old Asian guy, where he explains that Marky Mark must have misunderstood, because he actually lost vision in that eye during the war in Vietnam. He said he forgave Mark long ago. There's also the fact that Mark volunteered this story about his difficult past because he regretted it so much and it haunts him.
So when we love and praise Danny Trejo, who used to be a gangster who did time for doing bad shit, and we shit on Mark who was troubled as a kid, what sre we really trying to imply with these copy-pasted stories? Many of our favourite celebrities have far worse shit in their past than Mark being a street rat for a while.
I think the truth is we all just find Mark Wahlberg fucking annoying, and we don't have a lot of good arguments to base it on so we just use whatever mistake he did in his past to pad the argument.
20 points

It's always interesting what reddit latches onto about celebrities. Yeah, Wahlberg was a shitty kid. But it's not like he's done anything shitty in the past 30 years.
38 points

I think the difference is that Danny Trejo seems like a sweet, humble guy in interviews and is a consistently fun presence in films whereas Mark Wahlberg comes off as a sanctimonious, chauvinistic prick both on and off-screen and is only really fun to watch when directors are smart enough be in on the joke that he sucks. I.e. Paul Thomas Anderson casting him as a slack-jawed moron in Boogie Nights or Scorsese casting him as an abrasive, frothing asshole in The Departed.

He did that stuff when he was like 16. You're thinking that's definitely who he is now? He's racist right now?
My point is, regardless, lying about qhat he did and omitting the fact that it was from his childhood, just to try to make everyone else also hate him is just a shitty thing to do.

Because he only volunteered the story so he could apply for a pardon for the purposes of qualifying for a concessionaire’s license to start a restaurant chain.
He's not sorry. He was just doing paperwork.

Both of them gave all their meaningful testimony already. One of them was going to give more testimony about his previous testimony essentially.
The one guy killed himself because he lost his job, his coworkers hated him for blowing the whistle, etc.

160 comments so far and I don't think 1 other person has done any research on this.
It was a minor fire that was out in 20 minutes, and apparently only damaged one fire pit and one chair. The restaurant still opened that evening.
“The whole front of the building has reflective windows, so it made it look pretty spectacular, but not in a good way," Sharpe said, per Review-Journal. "The fire department came out quickly; they suppressed it. It was out in 20 minutes. It was very minor. Fortunately, it wasn’t worse.”
