“...all share common trait”
Article doesn’t say what that is. I’m not looking for opinions on what that is. I’m looking for the article to state what they claimed. Is it in there?
A true craftsman likes to have nice tools.
"Looters will be shot"
Have to mean it and do it. Bring in Koreans if you have to. The rest will fall into place.
Khahliel tells me a lot.

"Some suspects were pulled over in vehicles displaying fake license plates"
Wow! That fake license plate is so convincing! I can't believe they got caught!

No word in article about the “common trait” claimed in the headline.
More fake news I guess.
”Remarkably, none of those arrested were actually living in the evacuation zone …”
Newcomers? I’d bet at least 75% are.
Don’t tell me, let me guess. Illegals?
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.
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.
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.
What a diverse group... diversity is our strength.
