As wildfires continue to rage in Los Angeles and nearly 180,000 people are ordered to evacuate, further evidence is emerging that diversity, equity, and inclusion are top priorities for fire departments.
Not just one, but four lesbians hold key leadership positions in the department, Front Page's Daniel Greenfield reported on the X threat going viral.
And one of them, DEI employee Kristin Larson, appeared in a viral video with a message for Los Angeles residents. If I can't get your husband out of a burning building, well, you're in trouble, she hinted. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The other person was charged with domestic violence.
“The door opens with just a little thing.”
As The New American reported yesterday, the fire department's top lesbian chief is Christine Crowley, and her top priority is finding more female firefighters and possibly more sexual deviants. He told a reporter that his goal was to get people involved in the fire department.
Crowley said filling the department with women would make them “feel included,” “valued” and “part of a cohesive team.”
And even better, with Crowley in the top job, LGBTQ people will think, “That's just a door opening.”
They'll say, “Wow, I didn't know that was an opportunity for me.”
Crowley's 2023 salary with benefits, as reported by Transparent California: $654,951.01
But now we know Crowley isn't the only DEI hire whose DEI job performance may be compromised. It's not about keeping the Sisterhood happy, it's about putting out fires.
Husband left behind in fire: Too bad
Another top lesbian is Kristin Larson, a 33-year veteran of the Office of Equity and Human Resources. No PhD required. You need to study fire science to know what that means.
“She completed a DEI certification program through Cornell University and is participating in the International Fire Chief Diversity Executive Leadership Program, which aims to advance DEI within fire departments with members from across the country.” This is explained on the department's website. .
Perhaps, but DEI hire number two doesn't really care if she can save her husband from a burning building in Los Angeles.
The video shows Larson joking about it.
This deep-voiced lesbian says the reason a fire victim wants to meet a firefighter who's “like you” is because while they're praying that the person doesn't get burned, it's because “someone better understands their situation.” “It gives me a little bit of peace of mind knowing that he might be able to help me.”
“Is she strong enough to do this?” she continued, “or, 'couldn't she carry her husband out of the fire?'” My answer was, 'She had to carry him out of the fire.' If not, he has fallen into the wrong place.'' ”
In 2021, Larson was the Los Angeles Dodgers Pride Night honoree.
Larson's 2023 salary, including overtime and benefits, will be $447,979.30. Taxpayers spent approximately more than $155,000 in overtime pay for Larson in 2021.
domestic violence
The lesbian clown show only got better from there, Greenfield reported.
Christina Kepner is the battalion chief in charge of the firefighter recruitment division. She landed in hot water several years ago when she was accused of domestic violence, according to the department's website.
Greenfield cited an article by Daniel Gass, an award-winning online investigative reporter who uncovered the scandal on the Substack page.
“During a presentation celebrating International Women's Day on March 8, some of the most influential women at Los Angeles City Hall posed for photos and gave inspiring remarks about women in leadership,” Gass explained last year. .
At the same time, three of them, Mayor Karen Bass, City Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez, and LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley, reported that female employees of the Los Angeles Fire Department command staff, owned by the LAFD and LAPD, had repeatedly threatened to kill or commit suicide. This column's question regarding the disturbing video footage of the incident was dodged. During and after the violence against the female partner he was living with at the time.
These videos, released in October 2021, show Christina “Kadie” Kepner, then a deputy chief with the Los Angeles Fire Department, violently attacking her then-cohabitant while repeatedly threatening to kill them both. did. (Although the victim's name has been withheld, she is definitely a victim of domestic violence.)
LAFD officials later covered up the accusations, Gass reported.
Mr. Kepner's salary, including overtime and benefits: $520,927.88, including over $88,000 in overtime.
According to Greenfield, the No. 4 lesbian is Jamie Brown. She is being advertised as the “Training Support Bureau Commander” who serves as the “Marine Operations Commander for the Port of Los Angeles.” Greenfield did not provide evidence for the allegations about Brown.
“Many glass ceilings were being shattered, but no one really knew how to put out a fire,” Greenfield wrote.
Unless you ask Fire about his preferred pronouns.
Crowley, Kepner and Brown were all paramedics and not firefighters. Diversity mandates have led to paramedics being called “firefighters” and promoted to fire chiefs, battalion chiefs, and even higher ranks in LAFD.
Ms. Brown's salary, including overtime and benefits: $327,012.68
