While K$H’s krew in Utah were bungling the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination in Utah on Wednesday another squad were incompetently endangering people’s lives in a completely different intermountain west state as 14 employees at an animal shelter were hospitalized after inhaling fumes from a meth incineration job botched by local FBI agents, KRTV reports.
The Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter in Billings is an independent non-profit leasing space in city-owned facilities that include a sadly necessary crematorium for dealing with the remains of departed pets. But when the shelter isn’t using the crematorium public officials use it for other purposes, namely the disposal of illegal drugs seized in raids and arrests. The lengthy article details staff having voiced concerns prior to Wednesday’s incident, that they noticed a plastic smell when local cops burned off drugs and they’d been weighing plans to address it, but it was nothing too urgent.
Certainly none of them needed to recover in a goddamned hyperbaric chamber until the new, America First-ified FBI came and neglected to follow standard operating procedure for safely using the incinerator when they were torching a large quantity of crystal meth seized from some hillbillies’ operation, spewing acrid black smoke into the city-owned building. Reportedly several of the agents required treatment at a local hospital too but KRTV couldn’t get a straight answer on that.
“The FBI has not released information about the incident,” the CBS affiliate notes in the article.
