That’s right Rita, deport the river… It took an innocent child

Lol…. Wow.. No concern for that persons life…. You are special! I hope that individual is ok.

People never cease to amaze me how indifferent they are to others. Where is the love?

The report is close, but not quite right. This incident took place beyond the end of the East Fork Road, approximately 3/4 mile beyond the parking lot at road end. The young man, just 21 years old, resides in Anaheim. He was hiking with a friend along the upper east fork of the San Gabriel river. They attempted to cross the river by holding on to a rope stretched across it. Sadly, he lost his grip and was swept awayi in the unusually swift river as his friend watched in horror.
Six of us were gold panning further downstream when someone shouted, alerting us to the situation. We gave chase, but he was quickly swept from view a hundred yards downstream.
We pray for his safe return. Rita….you are very cruel, beyond words.

We were there as well… In fact we had just turned around because the current was too strong and witnessed another hiker fall into the water and almost drown…

We were hiking back when we ran into the missing hiker. He greeted us and went on his way. Minutes later we see him in the water (unconscious) . EVERYONE who was there tried to help…but the current was too strong. It was going so fast that no one was able to catch up to him.

This is such a tragedy. I can’t believe Rita finds it amusing to joke about this. Shame on you Rita.

actually its my friend. thank you for making a racist joke.

For such a comment to even arise.. what does it matter when a person’s life is at hand?!

Does anyone have the details on the search tomorrow? I think the family is looking for volunteers. Is there a meeting place and time?
