COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - SLED is investigating a house fire in Colleton County on Saturday afternoon that has left three hospitalized.
According to sister station WCSC, three people were transported to a nearby hospital after a reported fire at Edisto Beach.
WCSC states Colleton Fire Rescue responded to the incident, where they treated and transported three patients. Reports show one was air-evacuated to the Medical University of South Carolina by C.A.R.E. Flight, while the other two were transported by ground to MUSC.
According to a release from the Supreme Court of South Carolina, the incident also involved Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein.

(11,422 posts)I'm not seeing any reason given for it. I just see that it's under investigation which means they don't know.
Maybe it was a gas line or something like that.

(16,638 posts)It's a little bit too coincidental, don't you think? I'm not sure most of us would believe a report even if it says it WAS a gas line.
Go ahead and give me the DU lecture about "we have to deal in facts". Yes, we do. But we don't have to have our heads in the sand either.

(40,300 posts)Remember when movies that showed dangerous tricks were sued by people who were injured by imitators ? A guy in a ticket booth burned by a flammable spray -- a trick seen in a recent movie ? Kids injured by laying down along the white line down the middle of a two-way road -- a stunt seen in a recent movie ? The producers of these movies were sued for inspiring copycat violence. Miller's rants have inspired plenty of violence already -- it's time he faced charges. https://www.freedomforum.org/negligent-publication/
Same, of course, applies to almost everyone in the MAGA "leadership". The dance has been fun, but it's time to pay the piper.

(24,398 posts)Tweets like these go out to all miller's followers (he has 1.5 million followers). He's riling up the base.... it's enticing people to go do harm. Imagine the MAGA morons getting messages like this every freaking day you know their puny worm-ridden brains are going to act on it and see themselves as heroes.
But yeah, .... our rhetoric.
(Uugghh, so yeah, i just looked at the first few messages on his twitter since i went to see how many followers he has there... DHS is under attack by democrats... Democrats causing the shutdown because they want to give healthcare to illegal aliens... Kristi noem saying all the violence is being organized by democrats. the same lies over and over and over again. Every message is so angry. The sky is falling.... talk about brainwashing!!!) Imagine reading this shit daily plus watching fox news.

Criminal charges will have to wait for another administration, or more willingness on the part of state prosecutors to engage this administration, beginning at the crime scene.

MORE: Judge Diane Goodstein, who was reportedly out for a walk when the explosion occurred, was recently involved in a controversial case regarding whether the South Carolina Election Commission could share voters personal information with the Department of Justice.
In early September, she issued a temporary restraining order to block the release of this data, following a lawsuit filed by Calhoun County voter Anne Crook, who opposed her information being shared with the federal government.
However, the South Carolina Supreme Court overturned Goodsteins order, criticizing her for not specifying the potential harm of releasing the data, failing to assess the lawsuits likelihood of success, and improperly instructing the Election Commission before they were notified of the suit.
This ruling, signed by all five justices, sparked debate over voter privacy and judicial process.

An inferno ripped through the waterfront home of a South Carolina judge and her Democratic ex-senator husband on Saturday, leaving three people hospitalized, according to authorities and reports.
Circuit Court Judge Diana Goodsteins Edisto Beach home went up in flames around midday, sending plumes of black smoke into the air and forcing her husband, former Dem state Sen. Arnold Goodstein, to jump from the first floor to escape the blaze, The Post and Courier reported.
Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional occupants, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the three-story home, resident Tom Peterson told the outlet.
The individuals were reached by emergency workers in kayaks, according to the St. Pauls Fire District.

Only malignant Right-Wing filth would perpetrate such a heinous act, and only equally malignant Republican traitors will fail to condemn it. Ball's in your court, GOP.

There is NO WAY in hell that we can wait until the midterms!!!!! At this point there will be no more "midterms". We are totally fucked without judges and courts.

(37,140 posts)My adrenal glands have other things to be worked up about.
As NPR likes to say truthfully, yet preferentially, when citing politicians, the claims are "without evidence."
3 people hurt, 1 seriously. Saturday. House burned; from images, likely total loss.
Why? Cause? Agency? Dunno.
"Without evidence."
If I knew for a fact, it would change nothing. I don't know, so it changes nothing.
I sit and I wait, but my breath continues apace, un-abaited.
Warpy
(114,023 posts)which is what it will take to differentiate arson vs. something like a gas explosion.
Although the timing is incredibly suspicious for a Klanner/MAGAt attack, I'll wait for official confirmation about the cause of the explosion.
I just hope the injuries are minor and recovery is quick.

(10,788 posts)... if this will be like food poisoning or falling out of a window. None of the "all-news" channels didn't do much with it... CNN had their pre-taped shows, FOX complained about the Democrat shutdown, MSNBC did have one rare, actual "live" panel - among their usual weekend reruns - but did not discuss this... and the News Nation discussed the OJ trial.

(12,084 posts)but when did it happen? Oct 4th or 5th? Has there been any updates on this? Question in my mind is when did she make rulings against Trump, before or after the explosion? This was no random accident. I don't see how anyone could have made it out alive, though I read in your update that 3 did make it out.

(7,676 posts)This apparently happened on Saturday. As of this morning, there was nothing on the main page at MSNBC, FOX, NY Times, Washington Post, AP, News Nation, CBS News, NBC News, or USA Today. They may have had stories on it, but you have to dig on their websites to find them.
The only 2 outlets I found with a story on their main page were CNN & ABC News, and on CNN it was near the very bottom of the page. ABC News was the only outlet that had a story anywhere near the top of their main page.
That's not remotely close to "covering it pretty thoroughly". More like ignoring it as much as they can get away with.
