But why would someone publish an article about 'homeless people' starting the LA fires without ANY facts.The same reason people would take the published work of M. K. Hubbert and say he was absolutely right when those charts of his certainly don't look anything like the actual results?
When faced with irrefutable data (or even just inconvenient truths)...folks just do the "but...but...but" routine. With arguments of "who are you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes" or hopes and dreams or excuses...homeless people being easy targets.
I fail to see how Hubbert's data and charts and the reasons articles are published blaming homeless people for fires are the same. Even as an analogy this doesn't work.
