Apparently, there’s still more to be
said about the Los Angeles area fires. Turns out, not only did Democratic Los
Angeles Mayor Karen Bass leave her town after she knew dangerous winds were
imminent amidst fire-friendly conditions to attend a wedding party in Ghana,
but Brian Williams, the deputy mayor of public safety in Los
Angeles who was appointed by Bass, was unavailable during this crisis as
well. Why? Because he’s been on administrative leave for nearly a month after
being implicated in a bomb threat made against the Los Angeles City
Hall. Got it?
FBI agents raided the deputy mayor’s
home a few days before Christmas, on suspicion that he had called in a bomb
threat to L.A.’s City Hall back in October. Los Angeles police officers opened
an investigation into the threat, subsequently handing it off to federal agents
because of the suspect's close connection with their department.
The LAPD released a statement reading:
"Our initial investigation revealed that the source of the threat was
likely from Brian Williams, Deputy Mayor for Public Safety. Due to the
Department’s working relationship with Mr. Williams, the investigation was
referred to the FBI. The FBI remains the investigating agency."
The City of Angels’ Deputy Mayor for
Public Safety (apparently) called in a bomb threat to the City Hall of the very
burg he was paid to protect?! While the mayor was partying in Africa? Good God!
This is more than “incompetence.” It
is worse than inaction. You wouldn’t think a man charged with keeping a
municipality safe would have to be told, “first, do no harm” or “please don’t
bomb City Hall!”
I have often expressed the
opinion here that the elites and authorities currently in power don’t much care
for the people they are sworn to serve. Many don’t want to believe this, for it
is a tragic and sobering notion. But, as this tragedy has so clearly illustrated,
it is nonetheless true.
The rot, the sickness, the depravity
must be removed, root and branch. City by city, state by state.
