Oh and by the way the rebel flag is a battle flag It does not represent any certain race or any racist view as some people would like to belive. Also my prayers go out to the families.

Hey Mike , for your information I grew up on the 2800 block of 4th ave and let me tell you this was a fine neighborhood when I was there. I know things have changed over the years but there are a lot of good people still there and you should probaly look around were ever yo go and you will see that some of the same elements that you discribed are right there also. Dont condem a whole area just because of a few bad seeds.

My heart goes out to the family of the fire. But the fire could have been a lot worse if HFD didn't respond fast has they did.
