One sought after meth lab explosion

Police searched for a man Sunday night after a meth lab explosion. Officers tell us a man and woman were making meth in a house in the 500 block of Reed Street around 8 p.m. Sunday.

I think that these winners should have been allowed to burn to a crisp. i hope the relatives have been screened, lest these kids be placed in another bad situation.

and you all were making comments about the Battle Creek bust..well it gose to show that this wasn't one of the fly overs...if it had been then maybe this explosion would have been prevented and no one (neighbors)would have been in harms way....

[feduptotally]

way to go parents!!! that's one way to teach your kids to say no to drugs! Really officer we were just showing them how dangerous they are... freaking low lifes. they will be the ones later on saying the don't know what went wrong with little jimmy, he was such a good kid and got in with the wrong crowd and the next we knew.....

Four Children living in this house; breathing those fumes that police wont go near without tyvek suits and the proper breathing apparatus.

I hope these people get put away forever! Endangering children in that way! Why do people like that have kids anyway?

...and this is why the police perform drug sweeps and bring down meth labs. It is for the safety of of our communities AND for the safety of the children who have no voice and are actually raised in these meth houses.

I totally supported the Battle Creem drug sweep that occured a few days ago, resulting in cops bringing down a meth house. I believe the police officers did their job very well and need to be commended.

Too bad that the Kalamazoo police offiers were unable (for whatever resson) to shut down this lab before this explosion occurred.

Get the children away from these losers!!!!
They could have killed everyone all over drugs!

[old_timer]

If this is what it takes to shut down all these meth fools I hope it happens to all the rest, idiots play with fire get burnt. poor kids need to be placed in a safe haven or with responsible people.

[KLM]

It is BELIEVED the children are with relatives?? Shouldn't we be sure they are safe??

[Jody in Holland]

For one thing, they do "fly overs" to search for "pot plants" not Meth Labs. That one that was found was just a lucky find. Im thankful to hear that all the kids are safe & lets all pray that they are now in a safe enviroment. The burns that these 2 scumbbags recieved wasnt even half of what they should of gotten. I hope they have alot of time to think while sitting in jail!

They need the kids to get money from the state to afford the stuff to make the meth lab silly! It's just too bad the state won't help real parents.

It is people and situations like this that strike an awfully deep nerve. I don't understand how loving caring couples can have problems with infertility, but yet low life losers can get pregnant and bring children into this world, only to raise them in a horrible, sickening environment. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for years, but yet the scum can reproduce at a drop of a hat. urrrghhhh. I sincerely hope that those kids are with relatives who will be able to provide them with a loving and SAFE enviroment!

The children, should be put with other RESPONSIBLE family members to be raised by them and NOT at the cost of Michigan taxpayers.

The parents should be put on a chain gang to work untill they are 55, then released so that they can work and save for retirement, again, so Taxpayers won't have to pay for them.

Im tired of paying for stupid people like that to be alive. If they are in jail, at a minimum security prision in michigan, the cost is about 30 thousand a year per stupid person.

Send them to higher security prisons and the cost goes up.

Why should we pay for their stupidty?

Put them on a chain gang, and make them work their arses off, to pay for their own incarceration. Then they won't have time to make meth or indanger any other children.

Remember, the fruit doesn't fall very far from the tree.

If those parents are bad, there is a good chance the kids will end up the same way, unless they are rescued early enough.

Situations like this make you understand why adoptions are sealed.

KVET has shut down hundreds of meth labs. Unfortunately, the police don't have officers living in every house in Kalamazoo County. Can't blame them for stupid parents.

[janet]

Oh we will pay for these slime. Who is going to pick up the huge bill from the burn centers? A chain gang sounds like a great idea.

BTW some peole should be neutered

[JIM]

Well unfortunately this problem is not going to go away. Addicts are doing this to feed their habit and make a quick buck.

[rock the world]

Man---I am so sick of these losers (and there are more than you or I are aware of).....take them all over to iraq----PULL OUR MEN OUT----and bomb the crap out of the country...case solved. Two birds killed with one stone.

[adoptivemom]

I have adopted two children that were removed from a drug "home". One of them has many issues related to being exposed to drugs while her birthmom was pregnant with her. There are many of us who will deal with these issues forever because of actions of these people. There should be as much action to remove children from these types of homes as possible. They are the ones who suffer while the "parents" get high.

[hmmm]

Hopefully this will be the wake up call they needed, and they can get help., why is it always the children that suffer :(

[jim]

Its too bad both adults did not perish. Would have rid the State of two deadbeats
