Julia Roberts, A Known Democrat, Criticized for Cursing at Looters During LA Wildfires

The devastating wildfires tearing through Los Angeles have exposed more than just the vulnerability of multimillion-dollar mansions. As flames force evacuations across affluent neighborhoods, a darker element has emerged from the smoke-filled canyons of the Pacific Palisades.

Criminals are systematically targeting evacuated homes. They’re exploiting the chaos while emergency responders battle unprecedented blazes that have already consumed over 20,000 acres. Police report multiple break-ins at properties worth upwards of $10 million. Indeed, thieves are taking advantage of disabled security systems and restricted access areas.

The brazen looting has sparked outrage across political lines. However, perhaps the most surprising reaction came from an unexpected source – one that perfectly captures Hollywood’s belated awakening to the consequences of progressive policies they once championed.

Julia Roberts, long known for her passionate support of Democratic candidates and causes, stunned followers on Monday with a blunt message to criminals targeting evacuated homes.

“F.U. looters,” she said.

The Pretty Woman star’s uncharacteristically harsh stance came in an Instagram post promoting wildfire relief efforts.

“There is so much healing and help needed,” she wrote. “We will get through this. #F.U.Looters.”

When Reality Hits Home

Funny how quickly “criminal justice reform” loses its appeal when criminals target your neighborhood, isn’t it?

The actress’s sharp rebuke quickly drew attention to her previous political positions. Social media users were quick to point out Roberts’ consistent support for Democratic policies that many argue enabled the current crisis.

“Julia is a big supporter of CA Democrats and recently urged wives of male Trump voters to secretly vote for Kamala Harris,” noted conservative commentator Robby Starbuck. “The same CA Dems she supported are the ones who made looting so easy for so long.”

Wonder what changed? Perhaps it’s easier to support soft-on-crime policies from behind gates and security systems?

The situation has become so dire that Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman was forced to make a public statement.

“If you exploit this tragedy to prey on victims of these deadly fires, we will find you and we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law,” Hochman said.

This tough talk represents a stark departure from the soft-on-crime approach that has dominated California’s largest cities. As of January 15, nine people have been charged with looting in areas destroyed by the Palisades and Eaton fires. Authorities have reported stolen items worth over $200,000, including an Emmy award.

Hollywood’s Double Standard

“No one’s home should be looted,” wrote one social media critic. “Also, people like Julia Roberts supported the policies that created this mess. Only getting mad when it starts to affect them instead of an inner-city Walgreens is pretty scummy.”

The criticism highlights a growing frustration with celebrity activists who advocate for progressive policies from behind gated communities, only to express outrage when those same policies impact their neighborhoods.

As the fires continue to rage, with only 11% containment reported as of Tuesday morning, the true cost of California’s progressive experiment is becoming impossible to ignore. The combination of natural disasters and human predation has created a perfect storm that even Hollywood’s elite can no longer dismiss.

For those of us who’ve been warning about these policies for years, Roberts’ awakening isn’t surprising – it’s inevitable. Her outcry, while welcomed by many, serves as a stark reminder that public safety isn’t a partisan issue. Instead, it’s a fundamental responsibility of government that affects everyone, regardless of wealth or status.

The question remains: how many more neighborhoods must be victimized before California’s leadership acknowledges the failed policies that helped create this crisis? Only time will tell.
