All bases nicely covered there...
Yes, "how the fsck would I know" seems a more truthful option - but not so satisfyingly black and white.

Not defending HoS at all. Looters in vans pillaging affected suburb, reports resident in passing. In same article, others believe their area's construction method is unique and modern.
