Quote from: K-Dog on Jan 12, 2025, 09:33 AMAnd I found a source that says the LA fires are being started by homeless people.

And that article is not being repeated here.

I attempted to trace the ownership of the news outlet and it appears to have been generated by AIPAC.

Now why would AIPAC want to blame LA fires on homeless people?  Can anyone figure it out?

Why would there be disgusting manipulation to make us think about 'us' and 'them'.

Why would 'they' want to harden hearts that way.

Any ideas?

Why make us comfortable fearing 'others'.


The truly sad thing is that such disgusting manipulation is effective.

They've arrested a couple of people on arson charges.

Why would they do it?  First off, "misery loves company".  2nd, if you are a homeless person and want to get people who are comfortably housed in beautiful homes to understand what it's like to be homeless, what better way to do it than to make them homeless also?  When you think about it this way, it's really almost inevitable with 1000s of homeless people on the street, 1 of them is going to be ticked off enough that they'll start a fire.

In NY, Homeless are caught making illegal fires all the time in buildings they squat in with no heat or in the parks where they set up camps.  Usually they don't end up burning down buildings though.  The problem for LA is that with the Santa Ana winds and all the dry vegetation around, a small fire can turn into a raging inferno in minutes.  So even if the homeless person isn't purposefully trying to burn down houses, that can be the result.

Either way, purposeful or accidental there is a reasonable chance 1 of these fires was started by a homeless person.  You can mark it as a consequence of having such a large population of homeless.  The solution of course is to house them.  Then they will be less likely to start fires.

You missed the point.  Of course a homeless person could start a fire.  Homeless people start fires all the time.  But why would someone publish an article about 'homeless people' starting the LA fires without ANY facts.

The arrested people did not start any of the wildfires.

Who started the fires?  The arrested people did not start the LA fires, so what is the point of talking about two economically challenged people who have no more connection to the LA wildfires than the suspects named in the muzic.  But that they both smell bad.

Somebody has an agenda.






Perhaps we need to burn some witches to properly explain things.









Homeless witches.

Quote"Justice will be swift. It will be firm, and the maximum punishment will be sought," Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman told NewNation's Ashleigh Banfield, adding that any suspected arsonist could be charged with homicide and sentenced to life in prison.

All the DA needs are suspects.  I suggest not being in the wrong place at the wrong time.  It would not be good.

Somebody get the DA a dog to take care of.  Please.

QuoteThere was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that, every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husband's necks. Anything can happen.

Santa Ana winds have a long history.

It shouldn't be any more of a surprise homeless people will be blamed for the fires than it might be true.  Somebody has to be blamed, and homeless people are an EZ target.  Finding which homeless person it was that started a particular fire is unlikely  though.  It will however give them an excuse to make outdoor fires a crime without a special permit and another thing the cops can charge them with to arrest them.
