Big Spring Texas News

BIG SPRING, Texas — The mayor of Big Spring, Texas, said four people were hurt in an explosion that rocked an oil refinery Monday morning.
It shook buildings miles away.
A spokesman for the refinery’s owner, Alon USA, said all of the workers have been accounted for.
He said one worker was hurt, but Mayor Russ McEwen put that number at four and said one of the workers was sent to a burn unit.
The company said the fire that was sparked by the blast is under control.
It sent black smoke billowing into the sky and shut down area schools and an interstate highway.
There was no immediate word on what caused the explosion.

okay, give me somebody who is in jail for yelling at a politician and I will do something about it. No bullshit though. I’m not going to research every exaggeration you throw so give me your best one and I’ll see what I can do. But no bullshit.

Yeah… your friends and neighbors are flaky fools, they have always been that way. The only tree to cling to in this hurricane of terror is the Government of the United States of America.It’s better if you just submit, better for all of us.

how do I not react with anger to this comment?Wait I just saw another one that pissed me off even more. They’re everywhere. It’s pussy night on Reddit.Let me explain because I think you’re probably children:You can yell at politicians, it’s allowed and it happens all the time. I just saw Keith Olberman do it on TV. What you can’t do is interupt gov. functions, which is what code pink does, (and who will never do more than 10 hours in lockup).grow a backbone you cunts.
