The quote you shared makes several leaps that are not supported by the reporting or legal filings:
It claims firefighters "did nothing" purely for their personal self-interest; in reality, firefighters say they were ordered to pull out by commanders, and the official line describes the later fire as a "holdover" burning underground in roots.
It states as fact that they specifically refused to extinguish visible embers because driving over rare shrubs would "invoke" state action; current reporting describes broader regulatory and endangeredplant constraints, not that narrow, cartoonish choice in that moment.
It attributes the motive directly to "California politics at its finest," whereas the record so far is a mix of alleged mismanagement, environmentalregulatory constraints, and disputed interpretations of how deep and detectable the remaining fire was.
So: there are serious, documented concerns that environmental rules and protections for rare plants helped create conditions that let a smoldering fire reignite into the Palisades Fire, and that officials failed to fully mop up the earlier blaze. But the specific claim that they knowingly left visible embers burning solely to avoid driving over rare shrubs for their personal selfinterest is not supported by the available evidence.
You are the biggest political hack on here and a liar to boot. Swallow it.
It's now 5 who have died from the mass shooting in San Diego.
