In “The LAFD is Run by Three Lesbians Named ‘Kirsten’”, I chronicled some of the insane woke follies at the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The third Kirsten is Kristine Larson, whose organization ‘Equity on Fire’ complained endlessly about sexism and racism in the LAFD until the fire department’s leadership became all-lesbian Kirstens. And Kristine Larson was rewarded with the title of Equity Bureau Chief and a $399,000 salary.
Or six times what an actual firefighter makes.
Here Kristine Larson very revealingly justifies DEI in the LAFD.

“You want to see someone to respond to a fire who looks like you”
Most people want someone who responds to a fire who can put out the fire
The DEI LAFD can’t do that https://t.co/pqNPrrv8KO

“You want to see somebody that responds to your house, to your emergency… that looks like you,” Larson insists.
And then sneers, “Am I able to carry your husband out of a fire? He got himself in the wrong place.”
So many people responded to my article, post and tweets on the subject by arguing that the mission of the fire department should be to fight fires. But the mission of any organization overrun by wokes is to push identity politics. In Larson’s own words, we need firefighters who can’t physically do the job to ‘represent’ the underrepresented, and if they can’t do the job, that’s not their fault, but the fault of those who expected them to do their jobs. High on their own narcissism, they dismiss people who expect them to do their jobs.
“Am I able to carry your husband out of a fire? He got himself in the wrong place.”
That’s what a woke fire department, police department, military, any corporate workplace means.
Wokes won’t work. They expect to be admired for being themselves. Their sense of narcissistic entitlement is endless. As is their malice toward anyone who expects anything of them.

Harvard grad. Used to be a sign of distinction.

Then we learned that Lord Barakkk (pbuh) was an attendee.
Duncan says
Remember Paradise. Remember Lahaina. Put the pieces of the puzzle together. It is all deliberate, intentional, purposeful, planned, strategized.
Duncan says
And let us not forget the leftist slogan “Burn it all down,” as well as “Build Back Better,” that is, after its all destroyed first. Do yourself a favor and do a [not Google] search for Smart L..A. ’28 or Los Angeles Smart City and inform yourself about what the future initiatives are that have been planned for that city. Some information on YouTube also. The same things are in the works for the prototype smart city of Phoenix as well as quite a number of other cities in the U. S. and also the whole world. The New World Order loves to see people suffer; collateral damage/lives mean nothing to them. These are methodical scorched earth tactics. Nevertheless, the real culprits will never be blamed or held accountable – kind of like when Nero blamed the Christians for the torching of Rome.

““You want to see somebody that responds to your house, to your emergency… that looks like you,” Larson insists.”….I would want…a competent firefighter who actually met the required physical standards and is able to do the job of saving lives. Not somebody who was hired, undertrained to lower standards and unable to do the job…because of their skin colour, gender, accent, who they have sex with or suffer from gender dysphoria.
RAM says
I want firemen who know their job and can physically do it, not incompetent, short, or fat DEI hires. Especially not lesbians on a mission to destroy society.
Kasandra says
“He got himself in the wrong place.” Yeah, how stupid of him to have had a wall fall on him. His own fault. Nothing for you as a firefighter to do about it. And they’re paying this incompetent moron $399,000 a year. Almost unbelievable.
internalexile says
I want to see someone who can carry that proverbial 60 lb. oxygen tank on their back while climbing a ladder.

My late father was a Volerteer Fireman for our small towns Fire Dept before there was any pagers they had aa special Telephone and when it was a Fire it would ring until answerd and our town had this Public Awareness a Public Siren a PA system

The small town volunteer fireman are wonderful.
glpage says
The left values mediocrity over merit
Kasandra says
A moral and intellectual cretin all in one.
Chris Shugart says
With all due respect to the mentally disabled, these pinheads look like retards.
CowboyUp says
I use the term retard exclusively for people who should know better, but don’t, including myself at times. The mentally disabled are often very smart and insightful. I call them touched. Any one of them would have done a better job than these overpaid fools.
MuggsSpongedice says
Los Ashes, the new moniker for Los Angeles – is the end trails of the alimentary tract of the USA –
This mirrors Lania, Hawaii
Will there be FEMA funds or has that been depleted for illegals in more money laundering schemes by Biden and cronies?
Get in line behind the 2024 hurricane victims.
Who are in line behind Lania who are behind E Palestine, Ohio.
What a mess.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Lahaina is a good case study in Democrat incompetence.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, some very expensive houses burned down in Lahaina. I’m pretty sure we agree that we don’t want our homes burning up. Incompetent morons.
And last I checked, LA is still on fire. Boy am I glad I don’t live there.
ChazChan says
Is she suggesting that fire fighters should only respond to fires at the homes of short, fat, ugly lesbians?
David W says
D.E.I.
What a horrific, self-imposed disease of mind, heart and body.
Kasandra says
I hate to comment again about this vastly overpaid nitwit but is she saying white fire fighters should not go to fires or other emergencies in largely black areas because they “want to see somebody that responds to your house, to your emergency… that looks like you,”? If so, it’s a deal. Good luck with that.
CowboyUp says
Dems have always been so fixated on this “looks like you” thing. I don’t care if they look like a fat dumpy lesbian, if they’re good at their job. Looks shouldn’t even be a factor. But it’s THE factor for them, so disaster ensues.
danknight says
Quote: “You want to see somebody that responds to your house, to your emergency… that looks like you,”
That is right there boys and girls is racism! And sexism, nationalism, communism, supremacism, and all the other Lefty -isms in a nutshell.
When I first ran into this sort of bigotry 50 years ago: I could barely get anyone else to admit to seeing it.
But now we can watch it burn homes to the ground. Or as in East Palestine, we can see rotten infrastructure poison towns.
Millions have died in the interim. Not counting abortion either. And the damage to our intangible property – our history, trust, traditions, legal system, economy, prosperity, and (actual) progress – is incalculable.
We have no idea of the full extent of the damage done.
Maybe we should fix it before our civilization burns to the ground.
cat says
Excuse me, who exactly looks like her? IDK anyone that big (wide) and neuter gender looking. I guess only non binary houses can be on fire then.
john blackman says
gavin nerosome should be proud , and he is . everyones to blame but him .
john blackman says
ugly fat slobs who couldnt carry a ladder, hold a high pressure hose or put out a kitchen stove fire . if gavin nero still has a job after this fiasco you can look forwood to more of the same . how much disaster do the democrat voters have to have before they change course ?
CowboyUp says
I knew pretty in shape 25 year olds, that trained for the Gwinnett and Cobb County firefighter physical tests, back in the late 80s and early 90s. They were all ex Fleet Navy, and already trained firefighters. Carrying an unconscious person or persons to safety was part of it. There was physical and mental competition to get on the force then, which hired once and sometimes twice a year. I’m a little scared to look up the requirements now.
Jeff Bargholz says
Larson is a woman? It looks like an ugly Colin Powell.
owensgate says
Anyone who wants their Firefighter (or their Brain Surgeon, Flight Pilot, Air Traffic Controller, Lawyer, Police Responder) to be in their position because of “Lowering the Bar” for the sake of DEI Optics, deserve to die because of DEI incompetence in acts of saving them.
Alex says
Actually I was gonna say that I don’t care if the FireFighter, police officer, heart surgeon, teacher or grocery clerk LOOKS LIKE ME, just as long as he can do the job I expect out of him.
And don’t anyone scold me for not using the correct pronouns…
I never use them and am not about to start now.
Snuffy Carter says
“When You Call 911, Don’t You Want a Firefighter Who “Looks Like You”?
Michael Savage said the same thing over 20 years ago on his radio show when the SF fire department hired some 90-lbs Chinese women.
Darrel Smithson says
So it looks like this fire didn’t burn enough.
USS_Liberty_1967 says
There are 2 interesting books that explain many “incidents” + “accidents” some of which were similar to those wildfires — “By Way Of Deception” + its sequel “The Other Side Of Deception”
