So what’s with the mexican fire-starters and the mexican gangs of looters? Is it cartels with a plan to loot? Are they pissed about the deportations upcoming? Are they trying to take back the land for the new Aztec Empire so they can start cutting out hearts again to make the sun go up and down?

The darker side of white supremacy?

They’re either mentally disturbed or part of a looting plan.

Start fire.
Evacuation order goes down.
Loot.
Fire destroys evidence of the crime.

Dems won’t hood them accountable because it shows Trump was correct and they were wrong. So they blame “vagrants” and “isolated cases” or “climate change” for the fires.

Just another conspiracy theory used to fuel disinformation to discredit well intenioned, selfless public servants like Gov Gavin Newsome, Mayor Karen Bass and LAFD Fire Chief Kristin Crowley working tirelessly to promote the public welfare and foster public good works on behalf of their beloved constituents.

Deputy Mayor Brian William would prefer to be working just as selflessly and as tirelessly as the rest of the crew but he is currently on paid leave of absence pending the resolution the unfortunate but totally well intentioned bomb threat incident he phoned in to city hall.

What’s with arresting arsonists caught in the act? No arrest, summary execution, just like looters.

WETBACKS starting fires.

I’m using the term “Wetback” advisedly, to denote illegal aliens who primarily cross the Rio Grand river to invade America. Please note that this designation is unrelated to the race of the people illegally invading. It is not racist to use a pejorative toward people who deserve the pejorative by their illegal acts. I’m allowed to describe them with a nasty reference because of their lawbreaking which has nasty consequences for American citizens. I don’t care if they are Latinos (as in these cases), muslims prone to terrorism, Chinese spies, Frenchmen or Congans.

“WETBACK” describes and indicts them all. bring back the pejorative:

WETBACK!
