“The Los Angeles water chief has been given a police security detail amid ‘threats’ against her and water employees, as wildfires swept through Southern California,” Fox News reports, citing LAPD sources and putting “threats” in quotation marks as if the reason for Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s CEO Janisse Quinones now having round-the-clock police protection is somehow questionable, even as Fox acknowledges there have indeed been threats issued.
“One LAPD source cited the recent shooting in New York of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson,” the article continues, acknowledging that maybe the threats may be more than merely aspirational or abstract venting by those suffering. Fox News then writes that “Quinones reportedly makes $750,000 per year. She is facing public criticism over Los Angeles’ fire preparedness and water distribution amid the wildfires in the area,” as if to say “people are very angry and might do something to this overpaid DEI hire who didn’t open the water mains from Northern California.”
“Quinones has also previously said she views her position through an ‘equity lense [sic]’ and uses it to provide social justice,” the article concludes in an implied moral justification for murdering her.
