Obama took care of the racial hatred now didn't he? It was his chance to step up wasn't it?

I have a lot of friends that are of African decent and I know that they would not support this racist woman's comment.
Nobody would except total :censored2:s of any background.

What would have been the drive time to his location? 90 minutes? 2 hours? Is LA traffic so atrocious that flying is the only sane option? The hubris & poor judgement to fly even when all other aircraft were grounded...

Saw where the helicopter was doing 184 mph when it hit the mountain. Why so fast in those conditions? Reminds me of Lady Di's driver trying to out race the paparazzi.

I'd guess Kobe was breathing down the pilot's neck about being late to his daughter's basketball stuff since they'd just been circling an airport for 15-20 minutes. But it's ultimately the pilot's call.

They should have put it down at the airport and taken a limo the rest of the way.

OCC Baseball Plays Emotional Opener Without Coach, Who Died in Copter Crash

COSTA MESA (CNS) - Inside ``The House That Alto Built,'' the Orange Coast College baseball team began its season today with a rush of emotions, tearful pre-game speeches and tributes to the coach who was missing from the dugout for the first time in nearly three decades.

John Altobelli, who led the team to four state titles during his tenure, was among those killed Sunday when a helicopter also carrying Laker great Kobe Bryant crashed into a Calabasas hillside.

So freaking sad... I went to OCC for a couple of years. Our daughter went to preschool and elementary school at the same school as a mom and daughter killed in that crash. They flew out of our county airport...

For the love of God quit making this man a mortar
He was a great basketball player but he didn't do anything great like our men and women over seas. He wasn't a firefighter a policeman
He didn't adopt ant handicapped children that nobody else wanted

Dear lord, that s is what is wrong with our society

Dude, we drive by that school everyday. I volunteered there for 11 years. The death of that mother and daughter sadden me. I went to the same community college that coach made famous around here.

I did not say one word about Kobe. I never saw or met him.

The article I posted was mostly about the baseball coach. The whole thing is a terrible tragedy that happened close to us.

Now go fire off some mortars somewhere else. smh
