A fire is an ugly thing..

In case you haven't heard, Matt and Dani were involved in a fire last night. They live in a basement apartment underneath a bakery (that has been closed for some time). The landlords were there about an hour earlier, making a bunch of noise upstairs. Then Matt and Dani smelled smoke and got out. They called 911, while grabbing diapers and baby food. The Fire Department was there quickly and got the fire out post haste. That's the good news. The bad news is that the resulting smoke and water damage totaled their apartment and all their belongings. They literally got out with the clothes on their back.

I called the Red Cross today and got them a small bit of help. Friends and family are rallying to provide household items. Rebuilding will be a long slow process. Imagine starting over, with what's on your back and what is in your vehicle. That's it.

I'm looking towards the future, don't think that they can move back into this place but that means they'll have to find another place to live, come up with deposits, etc. Not sure how to make it happen.

Seems randomly coincidental that the landlords just happened to be there an hour before the fire broke out. And that they are trying to sell the property but haven't had any luck in a number of months. And that every time the cops or firemen talked to Matt or Dani the landlord was right on top of the conversation. Will be interesting to see what comes from the investigation. Look up the term Jewish Lightning..very interesting..

Switching gears....I read a piece on how gun owners need to compromise, need to accept change, need to meet somewhere in the middle. Obviously the author decided to ignore history in this country. Gun owner's have been giving up gun rights for over 100 years. Do the homework. But, typically, it's "live in the moment" when it comes to these kinds of things. Makes them "easier" to digest. Why does part of America blame the instrument, instead of the person? Because it's easier.

Want to make these kinds of atrocities we're seeing in America go away? Quit talking about the people who commit them. Discontinue putting their names, motivations, agendas, etc out ad nauseum in the media. They enjoy being in the limelight, love the attention. Don't give it to them. Try them speedily, hand out the death sentences, carry them out. I'm talking in like 30 days, start to finish. Then move on....period...Don't want to do it, don't want to get blood on your hands, call me. I KNOW I can find enough real Americans to make it happen. There are a lot of us that are tired of being shit on because we are Americans. Now that we've shown the world that we are weak, they figure they can run right over us.Think about it. Do the math. We send aid to many countries that HATE us. WHY???

Ok, enough for one day...

Don't let the screen door hit ya, where the good Lord split ya..
