Good grief bad enough he died but the shame of living in the shithole that is Trump Tower.

It's great of the BBC to report the important stories, like the one about how the Trump Tower victim disliked living there. Those license fee revenues are definitely well spent.

Fire don't kill people. People do. The police now needs find the one who is responsible letting the fire start. Who owns the tower for an example? The owner is ultimately responsible.

No. The person who rents the apartment is at fault.

Depends, is the cause of the fire known?

Just saying.

Trump was too cheap for auto sprinkers

He's a property owner who wasn't legally obligated to install them. Is this surprising?

No, just scummy. The focus on the dude not wanting to live in Trump tower was unnecessary. Justin point out that Trump is a shitty slum lord and be done with it.

Is it actually scummy though? I mean, it probably knocks him out of the running for Landlord of the Year, but I'd expect it to be common that property owners wouldn't want to install new sprinklers until they legally had to.

Although then again, you are the resident expert on landlords.

Sprinklers were not required when the building was built back in the early 80's.

"I'd expect it to be common that property owners wouldn't want to install new sprinklers until they legally had to."

Yeah, and those ones are scummy too.

To expand:

I'm not calling Trump singularly scummy. All the people who didn't require buildings to be up to code within a reasonable time frame are scum.

No. The person who rents the apartment is at fault.'

Assuming the fire started in their apartment, and was not due to wiring not being up to code or anything like that. What if was a faulty appliance and the fire was caused by a manufacturing defect? Now whoever manufactured the appliance is at fault.


Liability issues are not always as simple as your mind is Hot Rod.

Or maybe he committed suicide because he couldn't take living in that shithole anymore.

Or maybe Trump wanted him evicted so he had one of his goons to set the fire.

I've said it before. I can't believe how silly you people are.

Trump used this opportunity to brag about how well built his building is.
