REDDING, Calif. (AP) - Authorities prepared Friday to burn down a mobile home where they said more than 60 pounds of highly volatile explosive material was found, making it risky for deputies to walk the California property and forcing the evacuation of dozens of nearby residents.

“The chemicals, gunpowder, primers for firearms cartridges and other materials were discovered on Feb. 6 after authorities responded to an explosion at the dwelling in a sparsely populated area of Redding in Northern California.

“But Shasta County is a place suspicious of authority, and some like Joe Mlejneck are standing their ground, defiant in the face of danger.”

Yeah.
