Will we be able to recoup our losses from the La Jolla Band of Indian? No, another free ride for their negligence and carelessness.
Dear Anonymous,
Nothing from nothing equals nothing you idiot!!!! These people have lost everything and really had little of anything prior to the fire. What exactly do you want back? A pound of flesh? How about those who were negligent through out the county? Is this the time to be pointing fingers or hanging together as Americans concerned about our fellow Americans who have gone through a tremendous loss? This is what really worries me about our country. We hang tight for a week or two and then we act like total strangers. I don't think they are asking for any handouts, just a hand!!!! Be a patriot, help your fellow American. After all, it could have been your home that burned!!! How soon we forget!!!
