One of the things that I find surprising/not surprising in all this news about the L.A. wildfires and all this massive destruction and loss of life is the lack of coverage of the fact that this fire likely originated by some douche shooting off fireworks right smack dab in the middle of a literal tinderbox.
And it was probably some over-privileged, white asshole that did it in the middle of a subdivision on NYE.
All these pundits and finger-pointers are pointing at the wrong damn people and things. They're pointing at symptoms and after-effects. The real problem is that some dumbass was able to purchase illegal fireworks, illegally set them off without professional supervision, and the cops did (and continue to do) nothing about it - even after a fire broke out in that neighborhood on NYE as a result of fireworks - which is likely the root cause of this horrific tragedy we have happening right now.
But you just had to shoot off your big bang-poppers and irritate everyone around you because "mah freeDUMBs!", didn't you?
Good job, dipshit. You've cost a lot of people everything they had for your momentary enjoyment.
