San Diego Reporter Describes Scene of His Own House Burning

"This is what is left of my home,'' Larry Himmel, a reporter for San Diego's Channel 8, said yesterday during a broadcast while standing in front of his house in flames. "This is what I came home to.''

I see a little coincidence in half the state of California burning and the bill that the governator signed last week criminalizing mothers and fathers and allowing our children to be taught homosexual filth in our public schools.

Wake up America! The judgement of God is at work!

el gato   October 23rd, 2007 - 12:30 pm

Oh how I agree with Bob! God will not be mocked and California is about the worst place on the planet for doing that. If there are real Christians in CA and they allow this to go on, they must be punished along with the evildoers. I hope “the big one” hits them soon too!

JB   October 23rd, 2007 - 1:05 pm

While I am sorry for this man’s loss, I wholeheartedly agree with the previous posts. CA has become a den of iniquity and God WILL NOT “Tolerate” relativism that mocks him and his natural law. Of course the “secularists” will tell you this is all caused by “global warming” – to which I say if you think it’s hot now – you aint seen nothin’ yet !

me   October 23rd, 2007 - 1:16 pm

This man is losing his home and all you all can say to this is to bring God into it all? Apparently you guys are not in SD and are not in the same situation that hundreds of thousands of ppl are finding themselves in.. YOU should be ashamed of yourself. I’d be watching out for your own “big one” if I were you.

Ronnie Whittaker   October 23rd, 2007 - 1:39 pm

Yeah! You go get’em God! Burn their houses down and kill ‘em all!!! Muhahahahahahahahaha!!
Nope, christians aren’t vindictive at all, just cuddly, friendly bundles of forgivness and love…wee! And y’all wonder why atheism books are flying off the shelves?…its because of kooks like you reinforcing the worst elements of religious fanaticism. Try reading the new testement for a change – it’s God 2.0

Chad   October 23rd, 2007 - 2:03 pm

Bob, the cat, and JB.

Seriously, how nuts are you? The proof of God’s love isn’t in fires striking San Diego but in the humanity and compassion of those who are fighting to save lives and property now and will stand up to rebuild lives and property after the winds die down.

If you three were actually Christians and not DailyKos trolls you’d be working to send aid to these people…not throwing a theological ignorance around in public.

You all know that prayer cost nothing but the moment it costs to pray.

A little prayer for her and hers might be in order.

And this is from a (Mostly) lapsed Catholic.

FYI: Be assured The Church will be involved here.

ray   October 23rd, 2007 - 2:40 pm

Sad to see this reporter lossing his house. He said that his family and pets are safe. I am very glad for that. But the memories that the house bring are lost forever. His report was sad. I grew up in Southern California and every year in the 1960’s to the mid 1970’s thee were major brush fires in the hills. Only difference now is that people now live in those hills.

Freak   October 23rd, 2007 - 2:41 pm

If he did his job properly, he would have asked himself all the stupid questions they normally ask victims of tragedy. Like, “my house is burning down in front of my eyes… how do I feel right now???”

applpie   October 23rd, 2007 - 3:22 pm

God bless him and god bless any of those folks losing their homes. And pity the poor animals who have no place to go. Unless we are a prophet of God (which we aren’t since there are none at this time) we really have no right deciding why bad things are happening to someone else. I can’t even figure out the relationship between my own bad deeds and misfortune–let alone that of a whole state.

mairead91   October 23rd, 2007 - 3:29 pm

Bob, El Gato and JB – such poor examples of self-proclaimed, hypocritical “Christians.” Christ admonished us to “…love your neighbor as yourself.” Oh, and how did you discover that our fires were to punish our decadent state? Did He communicate directly to the three of you? Wow! You just gave the arsonist his defense tactic when they catch him — he can just claim that God made him do it! What idiots! And what anti-Christians you are! As a person who can only try to be a good Catholic Christian, I sincerely hope that no similar disaster befalls any of the three of you — and I will pray for you.

Bob, El Gato and JB. Forest fires have been occurring on this planet long before your ‘god’ was invented. Your need to associate the things that you find distasteful with ‘god’s’ wrath only demonstrates your ignorance. May your ‘God’ show you the same courtesy that you show your fellow humans

I’m ashamed that the top posters offered their opinions on my site. But they didn’t do it in their real and full names. So who even knows if they are real comments and not subversive offerings from people wanting to make the religious look foolish. We’ll never know…

GoreSaveUs   October 24th, 2007 - 8:24 am

The reason there are not riots is because the Republicans are protecting white people and not black people. This proves that Katrina was racist. Also, the local officials are doing a good job because they value hispanic and white voters. Louisiana, specifically New Orleans, was run for years by Democrats. They were the best at dealing with a crisis. Bush just made them look bad.

If Democrats ran all of government, we would not have any problems. Also, there probably would not be big fires in CA either. Anybody wonder why this happened? Might it be an effort to distract us from Iraq? huh?

I am moving to CA so i can help fight these fires cuz I’m a fighter. I love battle. I won’t lie; I’ve been on both sides of a good ass whoopin and it’s constant learning experience. The scary thing is not being able to stop. It’s like so much adrenilin and rage that you’re not thinking, just doing… I took alot of martial arts when I was young…I stopped after I sprained 2 muscles in this kid’s neck in 8th grade and the cops said i could be tried as an adult with a deadly weapon (I was 13, what’d I know?) if I paralyzed the kid. I tried to get back into in college and took ’self-defense’ for my rec credits (plus alot of hot chicks took it).. the sensai kept trying to get me back into things but I always hestitated. I took the two advanced classes he had too, got A’s in it but he kept wanting me to enflict the 2″ rule (visualizing target 2″ beyond it’s true location) which goes into alot of inner engery chi and shit we had to do all the time. it was cool when i was in grade school and wanted to be a ninja. but i’m a fat broken man now. ce’la vie

Tom G   October 24th, 2007 - 3:14 pm

Unfortunately for Bob, El Gato, and JB, God is imaginary, so your ignorant, backwards theories are worthless. And to those trying to politicize this by comparing it to Katrina; get a clue, these are two completely different situations. Making this a Democrat vs. Republican or White vs. Black thing is nothing more than an exercise in stupidity. Louisiana is practically a third world country on a good day to begin with, and that’s before Katrina hit, so SD was already in a better position to withstand a disaster. The main factor with aide though is that the aide here is coming from outside of the immediate disaster area, with Katrina that was not the case due to the scale of the damage.
