Prayers on the way up for the victims and their families.
I have met a lot of people in the movie/tv industry and almost without exception, the people that are in the creative end of the business such as directors, writers, art directors, costume designers, talent, etc., are living on another planet. They seem to feel that because they are creative or rich or artistic that they are somehow more enlightened than the rest of us and therefore superior in all aspects to the rest of us. They seem to feel that they are entitled to tell everyone else that they are always right and you are always wrong. I will say the while the talent is on another planet, they were among the nicest people I have met, they just are more into their art and are not inclined to consider anything outside of the art. I would wager that his parents were more into their art than into their kid and some innocent people paid the price of that art. Don't they have massage parlors in Isla Vista? So sad.
That said, I would wager that CA politicians are of the same mindset as well.
