“The food is bad…and such small portions!” Goes the old Catskills joke.

Whole lot of homeless are certifiably insane.
We use to put them in asylums.
To save a dime we closed down said asylums and moved the crazies on to the streets.

Some rain would be nice. Crazy windy again this morning. This could all go from worse to worser very fast.

If we put the homeless shelters in the gated communities, they would find the money for the asylums.

I don’t know why LA homeless people are firebugs

"Homeless" = "..degenerate dope addicts and/or degenerate alcoholics.."

These people, when stoned, have a functional IQ of about 30. They start fires because they start the fire, shoot up/liquor up some more, pass out, fire gets out of control..

If I was a mentally disordered person, I would have but to wait watch the TV weather forecast to ignite the sort of conflagrations seen in L.A.

The turds, who are harping about “climate change” think that people are listening to them.

Absent a lightning strike (where’s the storm?) or power lines arcing, there’s no combustion without man-ual ignition (a torch for lighting your pipe)!

They should be patrolling the hills looking for these sexual deviants, getting their jollies from lighting these fires!

When is Los Angeles going to refund all those parking tickets they issued for people parking next to empty fire hydrants.

The worst part about it is there's basically nothing that can be done to stop these whack-jobs. How do you defend thousands and thousands of acres of these dry powderkeg forests from arson? Realistically you can't.

At this point, anyone who rebuilds in that area is beyond foolish, because this is just going to keep on happening over and over and over again.

I’m sure your question is rhetorical. Previous ample coverage only revealed California and LA government as a pathetic incompetent democrat clown act. Can’t be having any more of that.

SoCal appears to be returning to its pre-human vacant condition, which is what the so-called environmentalists want, after all.
