Really? These folks allowed essentially lawlessness for the past, what\u2026 6-8 years, now they’re shocked that it\u2019s become \u201cNormal\u201d?<\/p>\n
Listening to the LA Officials, I\u2019m angry that they\u2019re not addressing making policy & procedural changes to make sure something like this never happens again.<\/p>\n

Chief Luna is the only one who seems to be making sense. He\u2019s arresting looters.<\/p>\n
Personally, I think looters should just be shot. Save everyone the time and trouble of trials and all that crap. Plus it provides a great object lesson about leaving other people\u2019s shit alone.<\/p>\n
On the news this morning KTLA interviewed a \u00a0lady who said she witnessed amidst her evacuating her family, folks were driving up in cars, then running up to neighbors doors. She thought they were helping people evacuate. Turns out it was looters taking advantage of the chaos to steal shit.<\/p>\n
Animals!<\/p>\n
There\u2019s not enough punishment for that kind of behavior.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I suppose the looters could be staked out on the lawns of the homes they were looting. You know, let the fire gods decide their guilt or innocence.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why there are some people who will not evacuate their homes when asked to do so. They\u2019re afraid that they\u2019ll come home to the place being ransacked and robbed with zero leads or hope of getting their stuff back.<\/p>\n
That puts firefighters and police in danger protecting people who remain in harms way.<\/p>\n
I guess that\u2019s why I\u2019m kind of a zero tolerance policy guy on the matter of looting.<\/p>\n
Even here, when the whole town was evacuated, there were looters who got arrested. This town is maybe 4000 people. Most of whom are middle class, (or were before Biden took office,) we don\u2019t have tons of nice stuff. Yet we had looters trying to steal what we did have.<\/p>\n
I suppose I get really angry about looting because it’s like the looters are kicking people when they’re down. It\u2019s not fair, and cruel when you think about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
