Chemical Fire in Humboldt

Chemical Fire in Humboldt

The above web snapshot is from the Jackson Sun’s web page.

Wow, first a food product processing plant contaminated with the same creepy-crawlies that caused the peanut butter deaths, and now a big chemical fire. The word "embattled" comes to mind for describing the town.

At least their mayor’s son didn’t just get arrested for statutory rape (as happened to the son of Shelby County Mayor AC Wharton, AC Wharton III, in Knoxville). And not just statutory rape, which shouldn’t necessarily be a crime if it’s truly consensual--but AGGRAVATED statutory rape. Now that’s a PR problem for sure.
