Some of the first evidence suggesting that arsonists may have played a role in expanding these fast-moving wildfires comes from Sequoia partner Shaun Maguire, who wrote on X: "This is Andrew Huberman first hand seeing arsonists light a fire in LA I have been told by the LAPD that arson is a major issue in LA right now."The 2021 Pacific Palisades fire wasn’t an accident—it was arson. A homeless man, Ramon Santos Rodriguez, was arrested for starting it.
In 2025, we could be facing the same devastating truth. Gavin Newsom’s regressive policies have allowed homeless drug addicts & the mentally ill… pic.twitter.com/UPz8yYlU1U

More evidence of possible arson...Los Angeles has an arson problem because they allow 75,000+ deranged homeless people to wander the streets, a forest management problem because liberals have allowed their forests to turn into a glorified tinder box, a crime problem and the list goes one.
Failed city.

Look at this. Videographer finds person trying to start a fire in Southern California.
Arson accounts for 10-15% of SoCal wildfires. In 2022, there were 358 arson-related fires in California, burning about 12,000 acres.

Pyro-terrorism is not out of the question as well, given the elevated threat level of terrorism in the US.Arson reported in Los Feliz tonight, with neighbors claiming masked men broke locks and scoped out their building just last night. This comes as devastating wildfires continue to ravage Los Angeles, leaving communities on edge. #SunsetFire #LosAngeles#Altadena #RunyonCanyon… pic.twitter.com/TRXtPEOedt

Yes, and didn't they also declare that the hurricanes that hit the states are also the result of caucasian policy?Didn't the usual suspects scream that the boat that floated into the bridge in Maryland was a DEI disaster because the mayor and governor were black?
Mitch, shouldn't you be off working undercover to facilitate Trump invading Canada instead of posting on the internet?
That sounds like the city and state did everything absolutely correct in preparing for this and that's the best anyone could hope for? hahahahahahaThere is NO stopping a wildfire driven by winds anything over 20 mph.
Above 30 mph with that hot dry Santa Ana wind, fixed wing water drops evaporate before even hitting the ground. And flying a fixed wing aircraft in 60+ mph winds driving that hot, convective firestorm that close to the ground is extraordinarily dangerous. IMO, even trying to is just a dog and pony show.
You can keep posting your leftie/woke/DEI bs but there was nothing anyone could have done to be any better prepared that would have made a difference. No amount of money would have made any difference.
Your posts just demonstrate how foolish you and your narrative are.
The last time people told others to keep their mouths shut, they ended up losing the election.Better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are a fool, than open it (or post incessantly) and remove all doubt.
Even if it was started by arson the reason is spread is months of drought and high winds from climate change.I wonder how much arson happened. A lot of expensive areas burned. Is this class warfare? Is Putin responsible? How easy it would be to burn many western cities without firing a shot.
