Irvine fire - Page 14

I feel completely useless without a driver's license, but my home is anyone's home if they need a place to stay. I live in Hollywood, which probably doesn't help anyone here, but if anyone needs a place to stay, you can crash with me.

I think right now, the best that we can do at this point is wait. The firefighters rock. Their first priority (after preventing loss of life of course) is saving homes and they do a pretty good job of that.

To help, just send out protective energy to all.

Arson is now the definite confirmed cause.

If I ran the world, I'd catch the arson, hand him a bucket and garden hose, and drop them into the middle of the blaze and wish them luck.

Hear, hear, DP!

I mean, what could be the possible motivation for this... I can't understand this sort of thing.

Well, I think it's attention, really. Someone might feel like they'll never make a big impact on the world in a positive way, so they'll do something else to make themselves feel important. Sometimes, people will stoop to any level just to gain notoriety.

But, that doesn't excuse the behavior, hence why I'd want to put them in the middle of it, and make them fight for their own lives. Or, at the very least, light their house on fire, leaving them to try and put it out by themselves, so they can feel the same hopelessness as all the victims of their crime.

For some reason, I just can't think about that right now.

My own internal "if I were Al Qaeda and wanted to maximize terror with minimum expense" plan since 9/11 has been:

1. Get a small group together and rent each pair an RV.
2. Each pair sets off in different directions from downtown LA sometime in mid-September.
3. Start as many grass fires in rural and suburban areas as you can while driving to Seattle/St. Louis/Arizona/Dallas as you can until caught.

Not that I think this is that, but it is giving me a run through on how it might work out.

And thus, Alex proves that there is no weapon more dangerous than the human mind.

He's right though.
