KSWB.No injuries to staff, patrons, or first responders were reported. “We were extremely lucky. San Diego Fire was here in a heartbeat,” Moe Girton, the owner and manager of Gossip Grill, said.
“The awnings are fire-resistant, they didn’t burn all that fast.”Girton said she was notified of the fire by a neighboring bar and was initially told that firefighters believed the fire to have been caused by an electrical issue.But she was suspicious of such a claim due to the fire’s damage to the front patio awnings, which are not connected by any wires.Ultimately, after reviewing the nightclub’s security camera footage, Girton said she was able to determine the cause had been arson.“I was devastated,” she said. “We are one of the only queer women’s bars left in the country. We’re one of maybe 27 right now and the only one in San Diego.
I hate to feel like someone is out to burn down our queer-safe bar.”Later that day, around 1:45 p.m., a San Diego Police Department Metro Arson Strike Team investigator was on the scene collecting security video when the suspect, 38-year-old Ryan Habrel, was spotted nearby and taken into custody.Habrel faces charges of arson to a commercial structure and the use of an accelerant, according to police. The arson is not believed to be motivated by anti-LGBTQ bias at this time, although the case remains under investigation.Because only the exterior of the building was damaged, the bar opened as usual on Friday at 2 p.m. and was able to resume normal business.“[I’m] very happy to know that this is not a hate crime, just a one-off,” Girton said.

kidnapped Israeli children gruesomely displayed by their captors as props, to read of nearly 500 Gaza children — as of this moment — killed by Israeli bombings, how can anyone look away?I have learned that the worst pain may be helplessness in the face of loved ones’ suffering. For the families of those abducted by Hamas terrorists, or who can’t escape Gaza, I cannot imagine the depths of your pain.Not an expert in Middle East geopolitics, nor a Jew, nor an Arab, nor Muslim, nor Israeli, my own thoughts on the conflict may be irrelevant in the extreme.
