Effing idiot, turning something like this disaster into a political statement. FU, @sshole.
That part of LA County isn't as left as you might think. The Oaktree gun club is near there and I'd be a crying shame if anything happened to it.
Northern LA county tends to be a more conservative. It is sometimes referred to as the bible belt.
Those are not all ‘lefties”.
It is tragic.
It’s sad to see anyones home burn, genius.
This area always elects a Republican congressman. You need to keep your nastiness to yourself.
this the gateway to the Antelope Valley - the only 'lefties' here are the Section 8 voucher holders that were sent up there.
That’s a hateful comment. My daughter used to live right there but moved to Ventura, and she’s no leftie.
Some information for people who aren't like ^ that ahole: KTLA 5 has much better coverage and a better story than the LA Times, they actually give a damn about local news.
For me at least this area is best known for the gun ranges, great housing prices, horse ranches, and excellent driving roads.
Two major outdoor gun ranges are in the area, Oaktree and Angeles, but it looks like they aren't in any danger judging by the direction the fire's spreading.
They've apparently run out of space for large animals at the nearby dam (which was the only one within riding distance) so they're opening up new evacuation centers in Lancaster and Woodland Hills, which means expect to see quite a few large animal trailers on the roads with skittish animals for the next day or two. I hope they warn drivers in the area too, most of them aren't used to driving around horses.
