From The Wall Street Journal: The Armed Homeowners Defying the Rules of L.A.’s Burn Zones
In the still-smoldering neighborhoods of Altadena, where fires destroyed more than 2,700 structures, about 80 people have defied orders to evacuate, staying behind to protect what is left of their properties from looters and more fires after losing faith in authorities.
The "authorities" are more interested in gay bistros than in providing basic services like fire protection. But this is LA after all.
The "authorities" are trying to keep people and supplies out, because you are not allowed to have individual action and indvidual intitative. You must be one of the herd.
Police and fire officials say they are keeping residents from returning to burned neighborhoods because of such hazards as downed power lines and precarious fire-weakened trees.
Fuck the authorities. Adults should have the right to make those determinations for themselves.
Anyway go read the whole thing, since it is for once, not behind a paywall.
