I'm sick of this. Send the fuckers home. By ANY means necessary.

"Four pounds of methamphetamine burned in a Gwinnett house fire that killed three young children Thursday afternoon, said police, who continue to search for the alleged arsonist.
Detectives fear Ivan Gonzalez, 26, may flee the state or try to cross into Mexico, according to a statement from Gwinnett police.
Gonzalez lived at the house in unincorporated Lilburn and sustained facial burns in the blaze, which started when chemicals used in the meth-making process ignited, police said. Gonzalez, not the children's father, faces three counts of murder for the deaths of 1-1/2-year-old Stacy Brito, Ivan Guevara, 3, and his 4-year-old brother, Isaac Guevara.
The children's mother, Neibi Yamel Brito, was charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, police said, with additional charges possible.
In a strange twist, police arrested Gonzalez on Feb. 10 for producing false documents at the scene of another grisly crime that took the lives of children. Gonzalez was picked up during the arrest in Suwanee of Antonio Cardenas-Rico, who was accused in the stabbing deaths of his girlfriend's two young sons. Police later dropped murder charges against Cardenas-Rico, though he remains in jail on a felony drug charge. Police say the boys' father stabbed them to death and tried to blame it on Cardenas-Rico.
"Gonzalez was the person he was arrested with," Gwinnett Police Cpl. Jake Smith said. But, he added, "we don't have any ties with that incident."
Gonzalez was released, re-emerging as a suspect in the meth fire Friday morning.
The children were on the second floor of the house in the 1100 block of Spring Mill Drive when the fire broke out in a ground-floor hallway, officials said.
Several Good Samaritans helped rescue the children from the burning home. Ivan, the 3-year-old, died Thursday, and his siblings passed away later Thursday night at Grady Memorial Hospital from severe burns and smoke inhalation.
Firefighters arrived to the burning home to find Gonzalez trying to dampen the fire with a garden hose.
"He was claiming the victims were family members of his, and he appeared to be suffering from burns," said Smith. "He was not challenged as he left the scene to follow the ambulance."
It is unclear if Gonzalez actually followed the ambulance to check on the children, Smith said. Police have checked with area hospitals and are asking the public to notify them with any information on Gonzalez' whereabouts."
