LA’s Fire Department Embraced DEI. And the City Burned.
Front Page Mag ^ | Daniel Greenfield

Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley is used to shattering glass ceilings. She isn’t just the first LGBTQ+ person to the lead the department, but also the first woman.

“Countless people come up and say because you’re out there being who you are and your proud of who you are, that gives them strength,” said Crowley.

“I am different, but there’s a lot of difference everywhere in the world. Within

The government, merchants, military- they love to put the big fat lesbo in the uniform and now she’s Fire Captain, or Secretary of the Interior or what the hell, but they forget that the best man for the job is usually a man. An actual man. Mayor Bootiejudge (sp?) he’s head of Transportation and that’s went as well as this broad overseeing the fire hydrants that are dry. America has a space program (somewhat) because Prof. Wernher Von Braun, an ex-nazi Ss member was put in charge. You can’t “Barbie Dream House” your way out of complex problems.

Meaningless, leftist psychobabble.

I suspect that their doctrinaire Green policies are at least equally responsible.

Crawley shattered glass ceilings historically, but she will go down in history for burning LA to the ground

Yeah, the she/he is Fire Captain and the “mayor” is in Ghana for sme reason. When I see the “stars” homes on fire, and the acres of burned luxury cars I can’t help but think- “ hey that’s a shame,” and then keep eating my sandwich.

No one will pay the price for this casual and deliberate incompetence.

I take that back. Folks whose properties are devastated by fire will pay the price. But no one in authority will.

Here's another gem of meaningless leftist psychobabble:

“We believe in, and are committed to, justice in Los Angeles — and we focus an equity lens on every aspect of our work,” said Mayor Eric Garcetti. “The Bureau of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion will help to ensure that our progress is permanent and we’re always moving forward with a city government and institutions that reflect and value our diversity.”

“Bass joined a taxpayer-funded delegation [to Ghana].”

Dim politicians always live large on the government teat. It’s a given.

It’s educational that dumpster-fire policies turn your state into an actual dumpster-fire. It’s a shame James Woods is in trouble but then again he should be here in Florida with me and Trump.

Well, Garcetti certainly appears to be moving forward with a lot of destruction, given that the water reservoirs are not filled and the fires are coming. But I guess having that warm D-I-E feeling deep down inside makes up for the destruction of peoples’ homes.

I was trolling over at DU in a DEI thread and brought up meritocracy, and was absolutely flamed (and then banned) for defending hard work, accomplishments, consistancy, work ethic. All of that of course simply promoting white males dominating and keeping disenfranchised peoples shut out.

I’m on my 8th-9th account over there. Stating the pobvious isn’t well accepted.

This is very true. But will liberal voters learn the lesson? Back in 2023 there was a terrible fire in Hawaii. Even the mainstream media reported on how lax and unprepared officials were.

Has anything changed in Hawaii? It looks like most of them are still mindlessly voting Democrat. 🙁

If LA Dems truly believed in DEI, the would hire a heterosexual white male. There aren’t many of them getting hired these days.
