LA mayoral hopeful Nithya Raman proposes backyard BBQ ban

[Lockback]

We have a border all the way around.

That was completely ignored under Joe Biden.

"What's a 'border'?"

/----/ ZERO crossings. 1 million self-deporting. Cry Mooglow, cry.

Los Angeles mayoral hopeful Nithya Raman wanted to ban backyard barbecues for residents during certain high fire danger days across the city.

Raman introduced a motion Wednesday directing city officials to examine emergency restrictions on grilling during Red Flag Warning days, when high winds and dry conditions significantly increase wildfire danger across Los Angeles.

The proposal specifically asks officials to consider possible limits on backyard barbecues, fire pits and other open flames in residential neighborhoods during those high-risk weather events.

Councilmember Monica Rodriguez, who represents much of the San Fernando Valley, stepped in and successfully blocked the proposal by introducing a separate motion that stripped Raman’s barbecue ban.

Nithya V. Raman (born in Kerala, India July 28, 1981) is an American urban planner, activist, and politician serving as the Los Angeles city councilmember for the 4th district since 2020. Raman, is a member of the Democratic Party and the Democratic Socialists of America.

She earned a bachelor's degree in political theory from Harvard University then a master's degree in urban planning from MIT.


Unamerican for sure.

That's why we need to keep both India and Harvard out of our politics.

That loon is my councilwoman. What a nightmare.

"What's a 'border'?"

Nope, it was not ignored, it did process a lot of people, some were let in, while others were pushed back out.

 

[Harry Dresden]

someone should ask her how many fires in the city of Los Angeles were started by BBQ's?....

Makes sense, but of course MAGA disapproves of common sense. Burn, baby, burn!

I noticed that Florida and Georgia have had a lot of wildfires in the rural areas. I guess they did not rake their forest.

/-----/ Why did you go back to January? Couldn't you find anything more recent?

Border Patrol’s apprehensions of migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border remain at their lowest levels since about 1966 amid a shutdown of the right to asylum and fear of the Trump administration’s “mass deportation” crackdown. Encounters remain quite low in Mexico and Panama as well. Apprehensions inched up in February in what may be a seasonal springtime uptick.

Look at any Rand McNally map and you will see the border.

When Dante moved to LA, he thought this type of thing ridiculous. But he was new, so ignorance reigned as it does with you.

Fires changed his mind. His experiences.

20 plus million illegals came right on in under biden. Yeah, 5 or 6 individuals were sent back.

 

[citygator]

A dem socialist trying to control Americans.

50 of Florida's 67 counties have enacted local burn bans or equivalent wildfire restrictions. Severe, widespread drought conditions and high soil dryness levels have caused more than half the state to implement these measures to prevent rapid fire spread.

Now what genius?

What exactly do you think is going on here? You idiots are insane.

Just more Islamocat fascism

ICE is the secret police.

Everyone knows about them.
