Good morning, friends.
As you know, my country is in mourning and so am I.
Not only did we have the terrible fires but also out last President died in an helicopter accident.
Today I woke up watching news and then I went to the kitchen to take some pork out of the freezer to thaw for lunch. I´ll have it with the rest of the black beans.
I had on one of those channels that show the main news but you can also read other news in the bottom of the screen.
And to my horror I read that it was confirmed that the 4 main fires had been man made.
I do hope that the b*st*rds who did this are caught.
Friends, we don´t have laws strong enough to punish these people.
Only a while ago, we caught some of the people who belong to the Venezuelan gang called "el tren the aragua". Our President talked to Maduro to send them back to their country. (We´d do it in one of our planes). Maduro was not interested.
These people that started the fires should be judged by our laws. We can´t make harsher laws in a second. But I´d send them to jail among other prisoners with a shirt saying "I started the Viña de Mar" fires". They would not last much, I think.
There are some people that should not even be in jails eating and being lodged by all of us. This is not stupidity (I can forgive that). This is evil.

Sorry to know it was man made, but it is what I suspected all along.
Yes already some of the Venezuelan are doing things here..I won't go on about it but I understand you with the gangs.

@RebeccasFarm For the moment, some people were caught stealing. They had lots of weapons in their hands.

I have a sort of hard time dealing with how some criminals are treated and housed.
There was a man who killed his wife and child years ago in California. His wife washed up, headless, in the San Francisco Bay. A few days later, the baby washed ashore as well. He was finally convicted but he sits in a California prison. I read an article by someone who interviewed him. Anyway, he has a cell to himself. A television, some games, books, and a private exercise yard. And he can buy anything at all from the prison commissary that he could want because (this is the unbelievable thing) women actually send him money! They think he's handsome. He has many pen pals, and all are women.
We live in an evil and sick world, where so many have nothing through no or little fault of their own, and people like him have all the amenities plus 3 meals a day. Ugh.

I cannpt understand that a murderer lives in the lap of luxury. And that he can give interviews so that sick people fall in love with him.

@MarieCoyle I´d have them in a cell as disgusting as the ones that old TV movies have for their prisoners.

I discovered many single women actually write to prisoners through some type of prisoner-reaching out thing, and most of the prisoners have internet access once a day, depending on factors, I'm sure. So they have all kinds of silly interchanges, claim to have fallen in love, etc.
I agree, prisoners do not need to live in any luxury at all.

@marguicha - Humans are not perfect, we all make mistakes, but when someone does something to hurt other people they must be severely punished. They do not deserve pity, they must put to jail and work to maintain themselves and to repay all those they hurt.

Those people who set those fires should be hung out to dry head down or shot on the spot, I hope the fires are finally contained,

Most of them are contained. But there is a huge work of building again from zero ahead of us.

I read with horror about the fires in Chile and thought of you. I am glad you are safe. So many perished. I did not know your president was lost in a helicopter accident. How horrible for your country. Prayers for all of you there! What a terrible time!

He was our ex President. It seems that every bad thing is happening at once.

@marguicha Tragedies seem to come in groups. A lot of people say they come in threes. It is a shock to have things change so radically. I hope your country can recover from all of this.

I think you should stop watching the news. It sounds selfish in a way, but there is nothing you can do about all these terrible events so it is just stressing you out which is bad for your own health. Just listen to some beautiful music in the morning instead.

I'm so sorry the fires were set by arsonists. I hope they get the punishment they deserve.
