National Guard Deployed to Protect Los Angeles Fire Zones from Looting

Breitbart

Los Angeles called in elements of the California National Guard on Thursday as out-of-control wildfires continue to wreak havoc through the metro area.

Its troops are tasked with preventing looting and possible civil unrest as well as helping emergency responders execute their work.

As Breitbart News reported, the wildfires laying waste to vast areas of Los Angeles have now claimed 10 lives and devoured nearly 10,000 structures, with five fires still burning Friday as dry desert winds continued fanning the flames. more

  1. This is about preventing looting and other crime. Santa Monica has set a curfew, just for the areas in which they ordered evacuation. So if they told you to evacuate, you probably either did or are staying in your home – so anyone outdoors in that area should be checked for residency. That’s what National Guard can do – they are not firefighters.

  2. “Are they bringing water?”

    If so it better not have any salt in it. It turns out they are not allowed to use ocean water to put out the flames. It seems they’re worried about that 7% salt content wrecking the soil.

  3. Ash rebuilds soil.
    I bet if they checked Newsom’s winery, he has a lot of water.

    Weird thing is, they sell sea water scrap or whatever it’s called as fertilizer.
    Foxfarms sells it. Thinking about buying a bag for seashits and giggles.

  4. …and then there’s this…

    “We just started seeing all these cars pull up,” Agsten told the outlet. “Doors open, and groups of men are running up our street, going up to the doors of these houses … my next-door neighbor said, his quote, ‘there were like a hundred people that came up on scooters and were trying to get into any and all houses.’”

  5. If the National Guard has been liberalized, their main purpose would be to loot the good stuff and turn it over to the ‘powers-that-be’ before the other looters can get there.

  6. Maybe they should also shoot arsonists on sight .. starting with every high of official of the LA City and California State government since the start of the millenium

  7. @Bad_Brad Of course they are armed. They will have their M4 with a magazine locked in place. They just will not have any ammo. It has been that way ever since Kent State.

  8. General McDufus of the California Nat’l Guard addressing the troops:

    “Men, ladies, and others of the famous California Nipple Ring Brigade. If you see a looter in the act of looting, kindly and politely ask them to stop. If they don’t, pull down their pants or panties”.
