The explosion ignited a large fire in the Town Park Village apartments and left two apartment buildings condemned.

I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THE FACT THAT IF OUR BLACK COMMUNITY DOES NOT WAKE UP AND TAKE CONTROL OF THIS ELECTION WE ARE ONLY SHACKLING OURSELVES BACK TO SLAVEREY. IT DOES NOT TAKE A ROCKET SCIENCTIST TO REALIZE WHERE OUR HELP IS COMING FROM. WE ARE TALKING BUT NOT DOING. BLACK PEOPLE USE THIS TIME TO CHANGE THE FUTURE FOREVER. GET OFF YOUR %##^# AND VOTE.
THANK YOU,
THIS IS YOUR BROTHA FROM ANOTHA MOTHA
