3 die as century-old home burns in Lebanon early today | The Co...

A meth addicts first rule to living in a condemned house: Always check the smoke detector.

This house should have been torn down years ago. It had a large hole in the roof and firewood stacked to the side.
It was condemned years ago.

YAY, three less squatters to worry about vandalizing & trashing properties!

For your information these people where homeless they had no where to go they found shelter where they could. so if you do not know them do not judge them!!!!!!!!!! Lebanon need a homeless shelter for single men and women not for just single famlies. There are more homeless people in the town than you know.

do not be so quick to judge. They where older homeless men. Not bothering anyone.

Why didn't you have them stay with you oh rightous one?

wonder what they was doing....I bet it wasn't a bible study class

so what happened to the great people of lebanon ohio? why are so many people so quick to judge? these people had families, i don't know what kind of men these guys were, but those who judge, without knowing, you need to look at your own families addiction is in every family. look into your mirrors and closets. people like the above are in denial.... what about your neices, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, your children, judge yourself. some people don't have hearts.....

They worked for the slumloard who owned the property. No heat..no electric in one apt..no water except what came through the hole in the roof. The house was a dump. They weren't into drugs..they were nice people who didn't deserve this.

Landloard had a problem with smoke detectors.He would have to spend money for those. These men worked for him. They weren't meth-heads.

i have never in my life heard such disrespect these poor men thought that that was there home they worked for that dump the landlords used them and they payed with there lives what kind of people would pay grown men 2 beers a day.people should come togather and help there familys get thru this hard time.

I drove by the house today and there is a memorial started, with flowers. I think it is touching that someone has started this. I put fresh flowers at the memorial today. Just though I would pass it on in case anyone is interested also.

You seem to know a lot about what a "meth head" should do.....Is that from your personal experience as a "meth head"?

It really saddens me to read some of these comments. My brother was one of the men who died in this fire. He was a good man, and would've given the shirt off his back to help anyone in need - including some of the ppl who have left such harsh comments here and elsewhere. How heartless can you ppl be?

To Lebanon resident - if you think of it, could u put some flowers on the memorial for me. I live about 1000 miles away and can't do it for myself. Thank you, and thank you to those who have stood up for my brother and the other two men who died.

To Sister of one of the men - I sure will. I'll put some out for you today.

I knew one of the men that died in that fire, and he was gentle soul. He didn't deserve what happened to him. I will also put flowers on the memorial. . .they were just men trying to make their way in this world as best they could.

What's going on with this, will the landloard bear any responsibility?

My brother grew up in that town. He had family was not a methe head. It was not accident or anything that they did to cause the fire. It was arson. They were not bad men. they were older and just trying to live there lives. Before you judge get the facts. This makes me sick that so many people have no respect ofr anyone. I love and miss my brother .I hope none of you disrepectful idiots ever have to go thru this....

A LOVING SIS

Hi I posted earlier and then read my othere sisters post asking to put flowers there for her...It was a beautiful thing that some one did!!
Thank you' Now I am going to a ask that some one will go and say a prayer for him for me.......I live in Washington State and am Unable to be there. I did light a candle for the candle light vigi that was held......Thank you to all who showed up for that....

and thank you for the positive comment from people who knew them. My brother Wes was so kind. He was not a Meth head/ He took care of his mom all his life until we lost her in 2000. We also lost a sister-in-law and a half brother. All real close to the same time. Have we not had enough to deal with? We really dont need the disreapect and assumptions.
