Someone should write a grant to get woodburning stoves for all the homeless encampments. Having a fire (especially durring the height of fire season) is a human right!?!? Isn’t it?

Wow. Right here at home. Calif raging homeless problem from unchecked liberalism they are going to burn Ca off the face of the map. I thought burn permits are suspended, as with an open flame source. Guess it’s ok if your are a homeless camper, how else are they supposed to cook their food bank chili and boil their food bank noodles?

Looks like they need to send some code enforcement convoys to all the homeless camps! Trespassing squatters starting unpermitted fires. Many other violations too….
Unpermitted tarp & pallet structures.
–building code violations ($10,000 fines per day).
Garbage dumped all over the forest & river banks.
–improper disposal of garbage violations($10,000 fines per day).
–depositing trash in or near a waterway violation($20,000 fines per day).
Shitting all over the forest & streams.
–improper disposal of sewage violation($10,000 fines per day).
The list goes on.
Bum sweep 2018!
