YouTube ^ | January 9, 2025 | KTLA 5

The story begins at about the 1.10 mark.

Arsonist seen carrying a blowtorch. He claimed it was because he was poor, and he couldn't afford a lighter for his medical marijuana.

In Third World nations, when law enforcement collapses, citizens begin taking the law into their own hands.

The law is in the hands of our lawful fellow American citizens. We, in turn, delegate representatives to act in our stead.

I didn’t see how he got his bruises and broken bones. I didn’t see anything at all.

Citizens "taking the law into their own hands" is usually something like lynching the person from the nearest tree.

In this case, the citizens apprehended the suspect and held him peacefully until law enforcement arrived.

“Citizens “taking the law into their own hands” is usually something like lynching the person from the nearest tree.”

Most people don’t realize that cops, courts, and prisons don’t exist to protect good people from bad ones. The opposite is true. They exist to protect the bad ones from lynch mobs.

The men in that neighborhood used rope and zip ties to keep the suspect there, waiting for the cops. Who, among us hasn’t used a blow torch to light our favorite smoke?
**A young woman in that YouTube was interviewed by a news reporter.
She was excellent. Articulate, logical and didn’t get caught up in the hysteria of the moment. Some local station should hire her as an Intern.

My impression is she was intelligent and articulate.

Unlike media and most people.

She was better than the news.

In the video, they say he spoke a lot of Spanish, but also some English.

From his appearance, I initially thought he was North African (i.e., Arab),

3 out of control fires of questionable origin.
Dry fire hydrants (and farmers begging for water) while natural sources are run out to the sea by the millions of gallons.
Funding cut to the LAFD, not enough “lesbian” firefighters- not enough of ANY sexual stripe.
Newsom, Bass and Crowley.

Democrat CA voters: Are you beginning to see why the rest of the country thinks you are just inmates of the country’s biggest open-air insane asylum?

Maybe YOU can tell us why you think voting for democrats is a good thing...?

Yeah, I always use a blowtorch to light my joints, way cheaper than matches./s

Now that Gascón is out, maybe he'll get more than a day in jail and a stern lecture.

You're too optimistic.

Democrat CA voters: Are you beginning to see why the rest half of the country thinks you are just inmates of the country’s biggest open-air insane asylum?

Fixed it.

I’m not sure if this is the same one or a different one. It seems different.
