CMV: people convicted of looting during the LA wildfires should be swiftly executed for their crimes.

There have been dozens of arrests made for looting during the LA wildfire disaster.

Many Los Angeles residents have refused to leave their homes, despite risk of death to the flames, out of fear for the looters.

In fact, some looters have reportedly been caught dressing as firefighters themselves to get into people's homes and rob them, making the critical work of real firefighters much more difficult as well.

I believe that this is a far worse crime than usual looting, this is taking advantage of people in their most desperate hour, and directly causing people to burn to death in their homes. They are thus culpable for every fatality to the flames.

For the grave crime against humanity they have committed, the damage to the social fabric, and to set an example of them, they should be given the most severe punishment our government can give them, execution.

Otherwise, when we have major natural tragedies in the future (which is inevitable under climate change), such behaviors will continue, leading to many more innocent people dying from burning/drowning/etc.
