What would you do to criminals that are using the California fires as an opportunity to loot homes?  And what would you do to criminals that are setting additional fires?  There are no words that are sufficient to describe the immense devastation that we are witnessing in the  Los Angeles area.  Thousands upon thousands of people have lost everything, and it is already being projected that this will be one of the costliest disasters in U.S. history.   It is sickening that there are people out there that are so eager to take advantage of the suffering of others, but this is the world that we live in now.  Dozens have already been arrested, and we are being told that "none of those arrested were actually living in the evacuation zone"…

Dozens of those accused of looting homes and stores in the ritzy Pacific Palisades enclave of  LA during the deadly fires have been pictured in police mugshots.

Cops charged more than 40 detainees with various offenses including burglary and drug possession since the fires broke out on January 7.

Remarkably, none of those arrested were actually living in the evacuation zone and seemingly travelled with the intention of taking advantage of the devastation.

What do such people deserve?

One individual that got caught right in the middle of looting a home was actually dressed up as a firefighter…

"I saw a gentleman who looked like a firefighter, and I asked if he was OK because he was sitting down, and I didn't realize we had him in handcuffs," Luna said, according to CBS News. "We were turning him over to the LAPD because he was dressed like a fireman and was not. He just got caught burglarizing a home."

A couple of arsonists have been arrested as well.
