LA mom mowed down by teen driver blasts DA Gascon over soft sentence
A furious Los Angeles mom who was mowed down with her baby by a hit-and-run teen driver has lashed out at soft-on-crime District Attorney George Gascon after the perp was given just five months probation.
The mother, only identified as Rachel, took aim at LA’s top prosecutor in a scathing victim impact statement after the 16-year-old driver was ordered to participate in a diversionary program over the August 2021 incident, Fox News reported Friday.
“George Gascon doesn’t value my life or the life of my child, or any other victim out there, and would rather reward the monsters like [the juvenile suspect] by demonstrating to them that their actions have no consequences,” Rachel wrote.
“DA Gascon is telling him and every other thug in LA County that it doesn’t matter if you try to murder people. Why are Gascon’s policies prioritizing the livelihood of rotten monsters when my child, my baby, who is incapable of protecting himself, is left to fend for himself, and is essentially being told his life doesn’t matter?”
Shocking surveillance video of the incident showed the teen plowing directly into Rachel as she pushed her 8-month-old son in his stroller down a Venice street the morning of August 6.

Where's Our Friend?
After reading and commenting on Robert787's blog yesterday he disappeared. Since I don't have a computer I couldn't follow his depression blog!!
Then last night for some odd reason I dreamed him in a weird setting. I have not worked for the Los Angeles Dodgers in years. But there I was in my dream doing what I had done so many times, and that is, walking around seeing how things were going. I suddenly came upon him sitting sadly by the side of the stadium entrance.
I was shocked to see him looking so sad and down so I invited him in for a freeby to watch the game.
Needless to say, I was concerned about his blog yesterday and I was hoping he wasn't telling us something.
Has anyone heard from him? I am blocked so I can't PM him!!

ANY Hobbies worth talking about?
I often ask if people have a hobby they want to talk about, so here you go. If you have an interesting hobby talk about it. For me it's coin collecting...
JUST ONE MORE DANCE
I remember talking to this lady, she had such a gentle spirit loving heart and was one of the most caring woman I have ever met. After talking to her for a while I felt something is wrong here, she had lost her husband a few years earlier and all the conversation was on there marriage and how a great man and there relationship was.
This was just a conversation we was having and I was not out to hit her up for a date, this woman was so hurt and couldn't talk about anything but there relationship and even brought out a picture of him and would cry. She talked about everything they did together and I believe if there is such a thing as soul mates this is it.
As she carried on about how much they loved to go out to eat and dance, I saw something in her eye ...I wish I could have just one more dance...

A Gift To All South Africans.
Last night, while everybody was celebrating Valentine’s Day, we received the biggest Valentine’s gift we could ask for. Under immense pressure Jacob Zuma resigned as president of South Africa. 
At about 10 PM former president Jacob Zuma addressed the nation, at least the part who was near TV sets, to announce his resignation. In a national television address, Zuma said he had "come to the decision to resign as president of the Republic with immediate effect".
This is rich. He decided to abdicate! He had no choice. He was facing impeachment and a forceful eviction. At least he sort of admitted to that when he said "I have only asked my party to articulate my transgressions and the reason for its immediate instruction that I vacate office." I would have expected that he would know this; the press is full of it. Oh yes, I forgot He had no formal schooling, so reading may be a bit of an obstacle.
In an earlier TV interview on the same day, he said he had received "very unfair" treatment from the party he joined in 1959 and for which he had fought for decades against apartheid. Well, at least this part was more or less true although I don't know if it was unfair
He further expressed his anger over "the manner in which the decision is being implemented... I don't agree as there is no evidence of if I have done anything wrong." Now this is priceless; no evidence. He has a dossier that will put Encyclopaedia Britannica to shame.
There are no jubilations in the streets as was the case in Zimbabwe but we are holding our breaths in quiet optimism. We are not expecting miracles overnight but rather hope that our new president will improve our image and restore some credibility overseas.
And we are speculating about the future of Jacob Zuma. Just like Mugabe, he also tried to get his wife (one of the six) in power to protect him. Will he now, at last, be held accountable for his deeds in the past? We don’t know but if the new president and The ANC won’t interfere, he is going to have big problems. Cyril Ramaphosa has no love for Jacob Zuma but we don’t know what they may be up to in order to preserve unity within the ANC.
All in all, everybody appears to be fairly happy with getting Ramaphosa as our leader and we’re all hoping that he will live up to expectations.

Book of Life
Life is like a book. Everyday we are turning into new pages, everyweek, it becomes a new chapter and every year life comes into new series.
Why human need God?
Apart from humans, all other species live their life without God, then why do humans only need God?
If believing in God brings good changes in us then it is good to believe in God, But there are more ideological conflicts among those who believe in God than among those who do not believe in God.
Everyone says that God is one but they have created different religions by giving different names to God. And they are fighting each other because of religious differences.
The reason behind most of the wars in the world is theological differences.
If you look deeply into all the Holy Books, they all have the same meaning and purpose. The only differences are in the language and some rules due to the environment of that place.
As long as we give importance only to 'words', there will be more differences among us humans, when we start giving importance to the 'meaning' then unity among us humans will increase.
