Exactly friend: Beyond comprehension. Because of that the Town is on fire and I am not talking about some building... Some heads are going to fall, you bet.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

This is indeed a horrible tragedy that is so close to home for you, JD. I am so sorry and my heart goes out to our neighbors to the south.

JD, I haven't been around a lot recently, but I do think about my friends here, and I am so sad to hear about this tragedy in your home town. My thoughts will be with those families devastated by this.

Good heavens, TLR, I didn't know that event was so close to you. Absolutely horrible.

[Prettymaid]

I am so sorry to read this. The children were so helpless!

Too close dear, not just because happened in my City (What City in the World deserves such a cruel tragedy? None in 1000 Years). You see, I was at work, about 2:45 PM and I started listening this Police and Red Cross sirens, as minutes went by the noise was louder. I ask one of my employees to check it out, we thought was a Police matter, the Drug Cartels now and then show here you know… He told me something was going on in the East side….
I was very hungry because (as usual) I didn’t have breakfast that Day, so I asked this friend to go out to pick some lunch… I drived South of the City an about 15 minutes drive to this Sea food shop, and the sirens kept going, Police and Ambulances everywhere, so I turned on the Radio to find out I was driving right to the site of the fire… In some moment I thought I am not doing nothing but get ting in the way here, so I turned away of the zone but after that t I was able to see the smoke, a huge heavy big horrible smoke, black and yellow…
As the evening came, we heard about 4 kids dead, 10, 13, 17…. Newspaper next Day said the poor kids killed were 29… Now we know there are 44 already.
Thank God some of the children who survived were taken to Sacramento, CA. to some special unit in burned kids.
For worst, I see a lynch ambient here, people are so mad, and everybody is taking it about local authorities and politicians… since 2 of the Day care center owners are Government directors and the shop it self is from Social Security... I feel so sad, so angry at the same time because I can’t think of a worst way to die and I can’t think of a person who deserves that less than a child… And things are getting nasty here, people is very very upset you know calling the Radio and media to call names on the persons involved…
I think, this is a reflection of our Society, our culture, our ways: If we divide and fight each others at the first sign of trouble, I can’t imagine what we could able to do on a real ugly crisis, take the Influenza one (wich thank God we didn’t have over here but) I can see in my mind people fighting to death for some gallons of Gas either some bottles of Tamiflu… Scary.
But all we should think now is on those kids.

Thanks all of you Border friends for your words.
