[LS20]

David Gomez, the demolition man, told 12 News, "Probably I'm going to lose my job."

Probably, he ought to lose his freedom and spend some time in prison in addition to replacing what he destroyed. It's difficult to comprehend the level of incompetence necessary to demolish the wrong house. He certainly has no business operating or directing heavy machinery.

25th ave and buckeye, 45k will buy you a mansion there.

Isn't it sad that your house looks worse than a deserted house scheduled for leveling?

Then Jenny Lopez arrived. She's petite, and the workman in charge, identified by 12 News as David Gomez, towered over her.

She's still Jenny from the Block...

Captain obvious strikes again!

It's always amusing to read quotes from people who don't know enough to say, "no comment!"

What is wrong with blue collar america?

I'll probably take a lot of sh!t for this but who cares...

The problem is, blue collar america isn't blue collar america in the border states anymore. It's blue collar mexico. The number of illegal immigrants working construction/agricultural jobs is mind-boggling. The truly scary thing is, because they're already working illegally, companies also tend to hire underage workers, unqualified workers and workers without a working knowledge of english. I don't know for sure if Mr. Gomez was working legally or not, but I can guarantee you that a majority of the crew he was in charge of wasn't. Case in point, a couple friends were standing out in the parking lot of a building that was being rennovated checking out one of their cars; when out of nowhere comes a 2 ton dodge truck going 35 with a bed full of sand, that literally runs over the hood of car A and pins person A's left knee between it's bumper and the side of car B. Said dodge truck was being driven by a 15 year old illegal immigrant who couldn't speak english, didn't have a driver's license, but was operating heavy machinery on a construction site on a Sunday!

Yeah, this kind of thing is reminiscent of the 'doctor amputates wrong foot' story.

To read about it in the media, you would have thought the doctor was either so grossly negligent or retarded that he amputated a perfectly good foot; not being able to tell a good foot from a bad foot.

In fact, the man had diabetes and both feet were necrotic. Both feet would require amputation, its just that one foot was going to be amputated now and the other in a few weeks. For being deprived of one [useless and dying] foot three weeks sooner than he ultimately would have, this was worth like $2 million.

I suspect something similar in this case. The crew got out of the truck, looked at the boarded up house across the street, then took one look at her house, and presumed it was the one they were there to tear down because it looked the most run-down out of them all.

Yeah, she might want to "squeeze some money out of it" since they tore down her damn house. Not to mention I'm sure PETA will get involved:

There's a lot of memories lost," said Lisa Lopez, 29, her daughter, who grew up in the house. Her five nieces and nephews, aged 6 to 12, picked through the litter, looking at their own Pound Puppies . . . amid the rubble.
