Los Angeles wildfires, 2025

A statement from law enforcement which I have copy/pasted.

Ultimately, if there aren’t people held personally accountable in the LA municipal government for this fire disaster, it will make a mockery of the system, city politics and the Democrat party. Yep, it’s a stretch in today’s political environment, but if there was ever an example of blatant malfeasance by public figures, it’s this one. If they slide, then it sets a precedent and a model of sidestepping accountability for future generations.

And the environmentalists blocked them from cleaning out the brush.

...and they don't like the areal tankers scooping up sea water and dumping it on the flames. Rock and a hard place.

Makes me think of a pedestrian getting hit by a car in a crosswalk. It may be someone else’s fault but you’re still the one dead. Isn’t that why one of the first things your taught is to look both ways before you cross the road?? I think as humans we have forgotten the basic rules of life and no longer look both ways before we cross the road. We just assume the other person is looking out for us. Now here we are after the fact looking for someone to blame.

...and they don't like the areal tankers scooping up sea water and dumping it on the flames. Rock and a hard place.

That’s gonna be a whole different problem down the road. Then again, if nothing grows, maybe the problem will solve itself.
