From Yahoo News..'Jeff Downing, walks around his property in Ripley, Ohio, Sunday, July 19, 2015. Downing's mobile home had previously been in the foreground where the bricks are prior to a late evening flash flood. The flood swept away a mobile home late Saturday, killing three members of a family of six huddling for safety inside, authorities said.'

I saw this article earlier and I was just so heartbroken for this man and his two surviving boys. Yesterday he had 4 kids and a wife..and a home. Now he has 2 motherless children and no home for them. And do you know what half the people in comments were talking about?? How this dumb hillbilly needs to go get a fucking job or educate his dumb ass so his family didn't have to live in a dumpy trailer. Yeah.
Who the fuck are these people? Where do they live? Who the fuck do they think they are?? Some of the worst ones have been removed now, but, jesus christ, what the fuck is wrong with people? I have worked all my life. Hard. I always had more than one job, sometimes, 2 full time jobs and part time as well. And I DO have an education. If there are no decent jobs in your area when you have a family, it's pretty damn hard to move to wherever these smart assed fuckers live AND then you'd have no family support for kids. You take any job and they pay minimum wage or less. You take jobs and take jobs and you STILL live paycheck to paycheck. And you still don't make it. Americans are fucking broke. And it honestly seems to me, the only celebs who get that are people like Angelina and Brad. So, I expect awful shit like this from those dumbass twats, like Kardashians and Goop. But, to hear so called regular Joe's come down on this man when he has just lost his wife and half his children, my god. I just started bawling. I've lived in trailers. Hell, this place I live in now isn't as nice as most trailers. Old ones. Besides, the article said the trailer broke in half. That means these people bought two older trailers, put them together on a patch of what looks like paradise and made a home big enough for their family. I see a nice out building. I see they had a small porch and a nice new front door. I see a home, that someone did their best on, but, it just wasn't good enough in the end. It wasn't meant to withstand a raging flood that happened in minutes. How can people be so fucking judgemental and heartless?? HOW?

It's that lack of empathy and need to kick someone when they are down and out that feeds their out of control egos! I never want to understand why someone thinks its OK to do that. Im also pretty certain that their own lives are a hot mess. This man's deep love for his family is no less than some other husbands/fathers love that houses his family in a McMansion.
I do not want to be amongst 'em any more, Connie. Man, it's just too hard and cold.
Still thinkin'..you know, maybe having two old trailers put together on a couple of acres of pretty land that you own outright, well, maybe to some people (me) sounds a whole lot better than a mc mansion with a huge mortgage in these times. Yep, I think I'd take the trailers, given that choice, even if I had a kick ass job. Because now everything is so uncertain.
And you just know half of the fuckers posting this awful shit live in modular homes which, while nice, are basically just mobile homes that aren't mobile. Fuckers.
Trailers are damned nice these days. Have been for a long time. The one I have in Sacramento has withstood a lot. And hey, they ain't cheap by a long shot. You could live in a modular home and not realize it. Besides, trailers are mobile anymore. Have to hire special movers out here and it's a huge process. Not like a little travel trailer for camping. Maybe they want to spend the money on land and education or later on for vacations. Fuck people. Go live in your tract homes that you have to stand in front of when I come over so I can pick your place out of all the others, and have your CCRs saying you can't do shit with your own overpriced digs. Huge, cheaply built houses with itty bitty yards.
I just read the story............she was pregnant too..............I can't imagine....My heart breaks for them.
Nothing beats a happy family for high quality of life. I'm very very sorry for them - I'm now 8 months a widow and can't stop grieving - to lose half your family must be horrible
What has really shocked me is that there are so many places that this is happening in. Places that don't usually or never flood are having flash floods.
Border, I had to laugh a little at 'professional movers'. I've seen them at work. Nothin' beats a truck load of Guntowners pulling a flat bed or three. Here you can get pretty nice houses or trailers for free if you move 'em. And they do! I saw a huge and I do mean huge, three story, pluss attics Victorian mansion moved from town here to the country. It was fucking amazing and all they broke was the tile on one fireplace. Rednecks. If it's free, they'll get it. My girlfriend sister and her hubby just moved a nice 3 bedroom house. Got it for free.
Lauren, I hadn't read that. So that family actually lost 3 kids..and any dream they had of a big family in the country. Man. I can't even imagine.
Widow, I am so sorry, please know that you can talk here if you need to. The people here are all survivors of something. We get you. Blessings to you.
Jane, I know. It's fucking weird and I am thinking the preppers have it right. I am so glad I have a good wood stove now. If you were me, with a tiny living room, would you go ahead and put it in anyway? Or wait and just keep it?
It feels like the end of days to me, and I so do not want it to be the case. The earthquakes, floods, sinkholes, and every other kind of disaster.
I also feel that we, the people, are being conditioned to be angry, unhappy, and hateful to each other. It feels like things are going to get even uglier.
I am trying to get things in order, here. Just in case.
I would put in the stove, just to have it at the ready.
I think it is really good that you and Lissa are in the midst of your guntown community. That is probably a lot safer place than many others.
Part of my hurt over my husband bailing, is that he destroyed all our planned preps by wanting to split everything. I feel thrown to the wolves, and that all our chances of survival are decreased by his actions.
Civil unrest is worse than it has been since the 60's. The borders are out of control, and immigration is not helping. I feel we are being set up.
Sorry. Rant over.
Christina
Ignorant twats rule the planet and that's why it's totally fucked.
