In today's episode of The New York Times tries to use a disaster to make the poors fight each other in fear. We know the real looting is going to start when equity firms buy up the land and rent it at exorbitant rates.

It's sad that unscrupulous people would hurt people when they have disasters. I hope they prosecute the looters to the full extent of the law. This is unacceptable.

22 fucking people? That's it?! That's worth a headline? Meanwhile we've got a rapist felon president, where's that news story? Just a reminder for everyone to cancel those news subscriptions we all signed up for in 2016 who are now pushing the Rapin Racist on us.

Fuck you with this irresponsible copaganda trash. Instead of holding accountable what’s lead to the cause of this fire you shift the light to looting to try to validate the LAPD’s over bloated budget and their overall worthlessness.

22 arrests, an unknown number of which involve burglary, rumors, and unverified claims about a yeti bucket and some handbags. You’re describing dread but not anything that is happening at scale, if at all.

Not surprising, considering the conspicuous consumption in those areas and the American ethos that your value as a person can only increase if your financial value does.

Mexico and Canada are dispatching firefighters to save homes and lives. Trump and Elon are fanning the flames: Trump by cravenly blaming Biden and Newsom; Musk by blithely encouraging looting with his patently false claim that it's now legal in California. America, what the hell have you done!

MAGAt James Woods lied when he said his house burnt down, he was vomitously trying to smear Gavin Newsom and firefighters. The corrupt corporate mainstream media knowingly amplified his lies and continue doing so after the fact. Woods & the MSM are trash!
