As soon as I heard about this on NPR, I wondered if there might be a connection to #Pizzagate.

The tenant, Shelley Mack, fell out with him in an angry dispute over the unsafe and unsanitary conditions in the 'commune'. In return he went to court, documents show that he went to court, alleging that she was illegally squatting at Ghost Ship and had falsely accused him of stealing a car, and also that she 'repeatedly called CPS [child protective services] on fake accusations '.

WTF???

Read the comments - these people sound like they knew him: http://heavy.com/news/2016/12/derick-ion-micah-allison-facebook-post-ghost-ship-fire/

"He let his children walk around sex parties that went on there and his 3 year old was found chewing on a used condom so what was his judgment based on as far as letting his family sleep there? Easy to say let the family’s trample over me in a state that will protect him from letting that happen…why don’t you take out a life insurance policy for the familys and then kill yourself if you want to do something. .."

The guy even compared himself to Charles Manson and Pol Pot. His kill count is somewhere between the two at this point.
