My first thought is sorrow.
My 2nd thought is that I am slow to trust anything or anyone out of Louisiana.
For the record, I've held that view for many years before Louisiana politicians f'd up Hurricane Katrina prep and response.
I'd be checking insurance and "time, motive and opportunity" with a microscope on this one.
If I'm wrong, I really sincerely apologize.

You should have just stuck with your first thought.....
Your 2nd thought was a totally ridiculous & offensive statement on a very tragic situation.

"Sheriffs investigators and the state fire marshal are investigating the fire at Velocity Farms, which is located off Highway 3 behind Benton High School.
A dog trained to sniff for accelerants went through the remains of the barn today but found no evidence of arson, investigators said. The barn and stalls were made of metal, investigators said. There was hay scattered all over it and the office and tack room were made of wood, firefighters said. The fire is believed to have started near the office, investigators said.
"We don't have any reason to believe this was arson, but we're going to wait and hear from the state fire marshal," sheriff's Lt. Ed Baswell said.
Because racehorses are involved, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was also involved in the case. "
