Republican Congressman’s Home Burns Down in Breezy Point Fire

Rep. Bob Turner‘s home burned down last night in the Breezy Point fire in Queens.
Over 80 homes were destroyed in the fire last night.

Business Insider reported:

Rep. Bob Turner (R-N.Y.) was one of the many whose homes burned down in widespread fires that devastated the Breezy Point community in Queens last night in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.

Officials estimated that anywhere from 80 to 100 houses were destroyed, according to The Associated Press.

Republican Turner replaced Anthony Weiner last year after the loudmouth Democrat resigned due to the Weinergate scandal.

   and if the fire started under suspicious circumstances in Bob Turner’s house and spread to the detruction of 80 surrounding homes…what fire marshall in NYC is going to make an honest report of it ? Another Brietbart autopsy pending…. The investigators need to remember Brietbarts coroner Cormier dropped dead shortly after the autopsy …So even if you cooperate with this corrupt goverment and falsify investigations , you still die just as surely as if you spoke the truth. So speak the truth.

   #4 Those gangs include thug union members taking advantage of evacuations , power outtages, lack of survellance cameras as an opportunity to inflict some political payback….Suspicious that a telephone transformer burning 30-50 feet away on a telephone poll could start a house fire when all the exteriors are damp from rainwater. Somebody may have entered the home and started a fire, but whoever that would be is the same people who investigate arsons…a public sector union thug.

   I can basically guarantee no one targeted Bob Turner. Having been through the storm, no one was going out in this… they’d need a boat and a death wish just to get near his house. Moreover, absolutely no one in NYC cares enough about a first term congressman politician like Bob Turner enough to target his home.

   As for the roving gangs, god bless you all. I hope the reality you live in is warm. I’ll let you know if I run into any feral union thugs.

   ps Turner’s not going to BE a congressman in a few months. And cops and firefighters are some of the most solidly Republican voters IN NYC.

   Not all politics is left vs right, union vs conservative or however you want to frame it. The world is much more complex than you want to understand.
