Of Course: It Was Arson

🚨HOLY SMOKES.

Los Angeles Police have arrested an individual for suspected arson after 800 acres has been burned in the West Hills.

The canyon is now officially a crime scene.

They need to be charged with terrorism and prosecuted to the fullest extent. pic.twitter.com/8YEWH3yrhT— johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) January 10, 2025

And, of course, you have to consider social justice. There are so many world-historic issues to deal with, and running a city gets in the way of changing the world for the better. 

This is how liberals think. Their aspirations are global, while 99% of the problems that people need to be solved are local. When your house is being burned down, your neighborhood going up in smoke, or somebody is pooping on the sidewalk you don't care about the sexuality of the public servant. 

But leftists do. 

Democrats in Sacramento CUT wildfire prevention by 80% at the same time LA Mayor Karen Bass slashed her fire department budget—even when her own Fire Chief warned those cuts would limit their ability to fight a fire like this. This is inexcusable and we need to kick every Democrat out of office to fix California. pic.twitter.com/hyYnWOlJh5— Bill Essayli (@billessayli) January 10, 2025

This was summed up, as Beege wrote, by the attitude of the Assistant Fire Chief of Los Angeles when she blithely said that a man needing to be carried out of a burning home by a lesbian firefighter who is too weak was "in the wrong place."

It's not their job to actually save lives or put out dangerous fires; their job is to ensure that the right proportion of each intersectional category is represented in the ranks of the Fire Department. 

Called it. Here's @MayorOfLA claiming that the $17.5 million she cut from the budget " really did not impact what we've been going through over the last few days." pic.twitter.com/lhRs3WUbZR— Michael Shellenberger (@shellenberger) January 9, 2025

Politicians like Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom don't see themselves as careful managers whose job it is to improve the lives of others. They are ideologically and politically ambitious people focused on climbing the ladder, spreading the wealth around to their friends, and attacking global issues they believe are more important than the petty concerns of citizens. 

The LA Fire Chief disagrees. Last December she said her department was "facing unprecedented operational challenges due to... budgetary reductions" that had "affected the Department's ability to maintain core operations" including "fire prevention..." and "the Department's capacity to prepare for... large-scale emergencies, including wildfires..."

Couldn't be any clearer.

Climate change. Social justice. Net Zero. Imposing socialism. Transnationalism. 

If it takes breaking some eggs to make their omelet, so be it. 

Those 60 engines sent yesterday to the Cali fires are not on the fire lines...yet.https://t.co/FmQ9jYQc8C
They've been ordered to submit to a DOT inspection in Sacramento that's scheduled for 4:30 pm today.
If they clear the inspection, they'll THEN be able to drive 400 miles to Pacific Palisades. Talk about "looking a gift horse in the mouth." Then, on the way home, they get inspected again, and if they get red tagged, it's "fix it before you can return." Does liberal stupidity know no bounds?

Just one discovered so far.

Thanks for posting. BUMP! A criminal and their enablers can do a lot of damage to the civilization.
