ReplyDeletePolice investigation points to scandalous activities as a cause of the fire in the GPL that claimed 36 lives:
ReplyDeleteA cause has been discovered for the raging inferno in the Gap Parking Lot that engulfed many teenagers this afternoon. Firefighters arrived on the scene to find ShmEthan ShmWard in a compromising position with Justin Bieber.
Many cigarette butts were found on the ground including many in the vicinity of the car that exploded setting off a chain reaction. When questioned about the butts ShmEthan yelled "I dunt give a durmm" before charging the police and being taken down by a taser.
Many students reported seeing smoke coming from the car after hearing many loud noises. Justin Bieber later told police that him and ShmEthan were fighting, but further investigation points elsewhere.
Once ShmEthan was in custody began the task of collecting the bodies of the deceased among the dead was notorious mobster Sven McMillan who was found among a pile of prostitutes in the back seat of a very exotic sports car, a Toyota Corolla.
Both ShmEthan and Justin will be charged with multiple charges of arson, manslaughter, resisting arrest, and truancy.

The great biebs dies, are you still a bieliber?
ReplyDeleteJustin Bieber was found dead in the Freeport high school parking lot after he drove his 2012 Audi R8 in to the FPAC lobby at a high rate of speed at midnight. He was known to go fast and drift around the FPAC lobby. Mr. Bieber just took a wrong turn and crashed in to the FPAC lobby he was attempting to drift around the corner but took a wrong turn and his car burst into flames. He was killed in a matter of seconds from a combination of the impact and suffocating from the flames.
Mr. Earle said that "I had no idea what was happening but before I know it it was just a huge burst of flames". Justin Bieber alway said that he expected to be assassinated by a scorned lover or stalker. Bieber would describe this as a "crazy" and "ridiculous" situation.
It will be difficult for school to be in session the next day due to all of the carnage. Authorities are predicting that there will not be any school until after the investigation is done. Justin Bieber will be missed by all haters and lovers alike.
