LA's lowlifes: The 'looters, burglars and drug addicts' arrested during Palisades Fire all share common trait
Daily Mail UK ^ | January 14, 2025 | Laura Parnaby

Dozens of people accused of looting homes and stores in the ritzy Pacific Palisades enclave of LA during the deadly fires have been pictured in police mugshots.

Cops charged more than 40 detainees with various offenses including burglary and drug possession since the fires broke out on January 7.

Remarkably, none of those arrested were actually living in the evacuation zone and seemingly travelled with the intention of taking advantage of the devastation.

Santa Monica Police said each suspect was arrested within an evacuated area, and most of them were in violation of the overnight curfew law from sunset to sunrise.

The fires have claimed at least 24 lives with weary residents now preparing for another 24 hours of hellish weather conditions which are expected to propel the fires in new directions.

The four fires have destroyed more than 40,000 acres across the most affluent neighborhoods of LA, with A-list celebrity homes and restaurant hotspots among the 12,300 structures wiped out.

A gallery of shame shows the people accused of taking advantage of the destruction by thieving possessions from evacuated homes and by combing the rubble for hidden treasures.

Santa Monica Police said officers detained 10 burglary suspects within the Palisades Fire evacuation zone, and six of those arrested were carrying 'burglary tools'.

Three of the ten burglary suspects have been pictured, including Joshua Kaliel Love, who was found carrying a dagger, a window-breaking tool, a mask, gloves, narcotics, and a gold window punch, cops said.

Officers arrested Kaliel Love, who was on probation, in an alley behind the 600 block of the San Vicente Boulevard after he tried to evade police by running away.

In the second row, second column, if that is a woman, it looks like she was beaten with an ugly stick.

Meh. Cops, firemen, EMTs carry them as part of their kit. Good for breaking auto glass.

Not sure what the “trait” was.

I know what their mistake was.

They chose the wrong time and place.

Stealing has been pretty much legal in Kalifornia for a number of years.

The Godless Marxists in power have given NO attention to the optics of stealing and looting small businesses out of business.

But evidently the optics resulting from stealing from rich and upper middle class folk during a crisis was too much for them to ignore.

As long as the Godless majority keeps voting the Godless scam artists as leaders, NOTHING will change.

This is just some “show” justice amounting to nothing.

Good point. I haven’t bought a car in awhile, but none of the cars I have bought included a punching tool in the glove box or center console

What do they have in common?

They are all members of historically marginalized peoples victimized by white supremacist fascism.

None of them reads at a fifth grade level.

None of them has ever worked a real job.

They all “voted” in the last election ... although none of them are aware that they did, or that a ballot was cast in their name.

They are all members of an officially protected class in California.

The article says that none of them lived in the area they were burglarizing

LOL! You mean these California low life don't live in the wealthy neighborhoods they're looting?

What hoot!

Meet the new Californians who multiply like ants.

That’s where you are wrong. 12 out of 16 of those pictures would be considered Caucasian for the purposes of crime statistics.

Based on the photo — they all had black hair. Most look likely to be immigrants. Two look like domestic antifa. All look like criminals; appearance can be deceiving, but not always.

I asked Microsoft co-pilot if the overwhelming majority of the looters were white women, would the media report it?

Three paragraphs of a word salad with no answer. When pressed Microsoft said it may be reported.

The most obvious answer is that White Women looting the disaster area, would be the headline all around the world.

"12 out of 16 of those pictures would be considered Caucasian for the purposes of crime statistics."
And that's simply to register Hispanic crime as white crime.

None were locals. They all traveled in to take advantage.

None of you read what I said. “Article doesn’t say what that is. I’m not looking for opinions on what that is”.

I can figure that out for myself but the article does not answer it’s own claim.

I already knew, myself. I just was pointing out the article made a statement and then did not define what it was.

I didn’t want everyone telling me what it was, which is why I said not to. Was really trying to avoid that.
