Nathan Hochman shows there is at least one adult in charge in Los Angeles

The Los Angeles wildfires have been an incredible display of incompetence by city leaders, but there is at least one adult actually running things: Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman.

The recently-elected Hochman has made crime illegal again in Los Angeles, announcing charges against nine looters taking advantage of the fires to steal from the homes of people in evacuated areas. A tenth suspect is facing arson charges. Multiple suspects have previous felony convictions, and at least two are facing life in prison under California’s three-strikes law. The fire allegedly started by the arson suspect was contained quickly, but he is still facing nine years on felony arson and arson during a state of emergency charges.
