If you’ve turned on the news at all in the past few days, you’re probably aware that Los Angeles is bizarrely surrounded by wildfires in January. It is a dystopian hellscape there right now.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, fires broke out in places as diverse as the wealthy Pacific Palisades hillside above Hollywood and a trailer park in the San Fernando Valley. The Democrat leaders of Los Angeles and the state of California are a clown show of incompetence as people’s homes and lives are on the line.
The fire was so intense when it first broke out in Palisades Park that an LAPD officer panicked and told people to jump out of their cars and run away on foot (instead of directing traffic to get people out). People complied and it caused a massive traffic jam.
Emergency crews had to push abandoned Teslas and BMWs out of the way with bulldozers just so fire trucks could get up to the multimillion-dollar mansions that were burning to the ground. It was too late.
More than 1,000 homes have burned to the ground. State Farm had just canceled everyone’s homeowner’s insurance in Pacific Palisades a few weeks ago.
One of the people who barely made it out in time during the evacuation was 77-year-old Hollywood actor James Woods. In the video below, he described the moment when he looked around the hillside and realized that every one of his nearest neighbors’ homes were on fire.
