I know its only been a week since these fires began but I am not sure we were told any of the truth about them.
After all,
There were no firemen shot, we only saw pictures of them doing their jobs and getting "atta boys" from the populace.
We were denied the pictures of Jesse and Al arriving to show their support and voice their outrage that not enough was being done.
The rioting at Qualcom Stadium wasn't shown, only obviously fake mockups of people being sheltered.
No wonderful action pictures of people breaking into stores to steal survival items such as big screen tvs, sneakers, clothes, jewelry, etc.
No one but Barbara Boxer whining about the way the fires were handled without the National Guard equipment that was in Iraq.
No policemen beating up on anybody.. None of the aircraft were shot at.
It was as if these nearly 1 million people and responders knew exactly what had to be done and did it. Could this be due to planning and training?
I didn't see ONE of the "leaders" from congress show up or complain about it.
So all in all is it possible this disaster was handled properly by local officals from the beginning? I hate to say it but this is what I remember from other disasters in California.
