According to several news reports, a
t least 20 people have been arrested for looting in the wildfire evacuation zones in metro Los Angeles this week. Which means that not only do we need to be wary of natural disasters appearing out of nowhere, but also of our fellow human beings who take advantage of them for their own benefit.
Of course, this is nothing new: Flawed people have existed since Day One if you believe the story of Eve and the apple. But somehow this latest bit of news seems extra harsh, what with so many thousands of people losing all of their earthly possessions in a matter of hours, leaving them literally with only the clothes on their backs.The realization that looters are roaming the devastated areas of Los Angeles and picking through the smoldering ashes for whatever could possibly remain of value is an excessively bleak one. My only explanation is that some people are in service to the Devil himself and walk among us. Sometimes you spot them before they hurt you, but many times not.
Remain vigilant! Not everyone wants you to "have a nice day," even if they say so.
