Bravo VoiceofSB and Newsjunkie for your wisdom. I wonder why some people want to jump to the conclusion that the Sheriff intentionally wanted make it look like Westmont students were at fault, or had some political agenda for what he said. Yes he is a politician, but can anyone point to one time in recent time any law enforcement news release in a crime or important event in this area was made and was designed to intentionally mislead people? The Sheriff's Department did a GREAT job solving this case. Maybe we should wait and see what the facts of the case are. A lot of people jumped to the same conclusion about the Sheriff as they did about the school. But once the real facts came out, many were proved wrong.
Maybe the colleges were told about their students involvement, or non-involvement, during the investigation, which is why they knew, and the Sheriff's department agreed not to release the status of each school in exchange for their cooperation. There are a lot of reason why Sheriff's depertment may not have wanted to release the school. We may never know.
Maybe the Sheriff should not have mentioned school at all. If you saw the original and complete news conference on Channel 3, he mentioned it after several people ask several questions. Maybe, just maybe, he was reluctant to mention it because it was irrelevant or he wanted to protect the 10 people involved from the hatred and realiation of some of the people on these blogs. Granted once the Sheriff did a "college" was involved, it became the main point of the story, but give him and his department a break, or maybe forgiveness and waiting to undertand something untill all the facts come out, is not in your repertoire of tools…

Binky, you are soooo correct. The fact is, ask anyone in the fire profession, that there was no way to stop this fire. Even if you had a 100 trucks in Montecito when it was reported. The winds and brush were just too high. They were also doing night water drops, which is extremely uncommon and dangerous. Get the facts before you go off making acusations, or you are no better than all those hate mongers who just knew it was Westmont kids. WOW were they wrong...

My goodness.Since when is not "being irrespsonsible" justification for breaking the law. This lawyer fails to admit that virtually all of the students are and will be found guilty. Not because of over reative officers, but because they are guilty. Isla Vista is not a sanctuary for students to do anything they want. With that said, I also say to the students, "Know your rights and get a good lawyer, let the system that we thankfully have operate."
Who knows maybe you will actually learn something about yourself and life by the experience, rather than just complain about how "unfair" it is
