MLB Star's Home Gutted by Fire

31.

The wildfires are indeed a very sad situation. It is a reminder that we should always have an emergency plan to keep everyone, including pets, out of harm's way.

34. To #30 - I haven't had time to check the news today, but I haven't heard ANYTHING about FEMA being involved AT ALL in the CA fires. In fact, last nite on the news, one of the area's officials stated that the city had to jump in and start setting up shelters and care centers because the other organizations (American Red Cross, etc.) were "stretched too thin". There were citizens volunteering at these shelters, distributing supplies and other stuff.

So I don't think FEMA is even involved... it is the City's own citizens who gathered together and started doing what needed to be done.

Please don't make this a race issue. It is the city itself who has pulled together and started relief efforts, and Arnold brought in the Guard. Please people - stop making everything a race issue. I think this simply says a lot about the CA citizens... they sure do pull together. Why does race matter?

35. Why don't all of you RACISTS ( of any shade of skin) take your RACIST rants and SHOVE IT DEEP AND HARD WHERE THE SUN WILL NEVER SHINE!!!!! In case you didn't notice, this is a story about people losing their homes. Oh, too bad that you made the wrong choices in your life and will never be able to afford a nice house. It sucks to lose a house no matter how much it costs! I guess many of the racists here wouldn't be sniveling so hard if their double-wide burnt down.

36. That's what you get for cheating on Halle and slapping her around. Karma is a bitch and I don't feel sorry for you. Anyone else who's life has been affected by this national disaster, I am so sorry.

39. #30.......George Bush hates black people......How many times you have to hear it???

40. Honestly, the outreach we have seen on TV for the victims of the wildfires is on a STATE-wide level, NOT National. I'm sure President Bush is keeping an eye on the situation, but- I'm positive he's allowing the Government of California to maintain the majority of control in this situation. Stop putting all the blame on President Bush- I swear some people will look for ANY thing to point the finger at Pres. Bush. and to make this a RACE issue. Lay off it and grow up! Comments like that really show your maturity level and your education level.

41. #35- you're right. all donations have been made by residents in the area, and volunteers are people who's classes got cancelled, who's offices were shut down and who had time and heart to help. FEMA either got there yesterday or today. somethin like that. the news changes by the minutes.

42. To #33 oj sucks:

Sorry if I annoyed you, but I really enjoy reading these sites when I need some downtime from working. So it is disturbing to me how people make a lot of these blogs into racial issues, when they shouldn't be. It is more disturbing when certain racial comments are allowed, and some are not.

I'm actually trying to CLEAN UP the blogs a little bit. I'm not crying to anyone and I sure didn't whine in school. Your comment is just rude. If no one ever "whined" about unfairness, there would be no civil rights for anyone ever.

I had to make a point, I made it.

Now move on. thank you.

43. I tried to park my double wide in MALIBU but the city would not allow it something about,only rich, famous and eternally tanned could live there. I feel sorry for them 'cause double wide 'livin is the best except for them tornada's. Also what does shove it deep and hard mean. Sounds like something you have to experience to REALLY know!

44. Hillary Clinton really cares about the state that will definitely give her a win. She could care less about the fires. She's too busy making sure Hollywood pays up bigtime!

45. #18, you are an idiot. I'd much rather read about this fire that is devasating a community that I used to live near instead of some stupid story about yet another celebrity getting drunk and making a fool out of themselves. The fire is justifiable news, not that!

I would also like to say to those of you that are complaining and comparing this to Katrina, alot of those people were given ample warning to vacate before the hurricane hit but didn't but then you have these people being affected by the fire are only given a few hours, they have almost no warning. Big difference.
