A recent TikTok video by influencer Leo Skepi has sparked heated debate across social media.

With 4.7 million followers, Leo’s message regarding the ongoing fires in California has caught the attention of many, but not everyone agrees with his sentiment.

The “Round Two” Warning

Leo, who recently moved from Los Angeles to Texas, shared a message for those still in LA as the fires continue to wreak havoc.

In his video, which has since gone viral with over 14 million views, Leo warned that while the fires may be slowing down, a new threat looms.

He called this next phase “round two” and described it as a “battle for resources.”

His warning included a call for people, especially women, to be “as vicious as they need to be” to protect their communities, suggesting that emergency services are overwhelmed and unable to respond to crimes as the fires continue to burn.

Divided Opinions

Reactions to Leo’s video have been polarized.

Some critics accuse him of fearmongering, pointing to his comments about homeless people “waiting for their moment” to cause chaos.

Others, however, feel that Leo’s message resonates with the reality of the situation, calling his post “the most real” they’ve seen.

Some even compared it to the dystopian “Purge” scenario, while others slammed him for “blaming” the unhoused population amid a natural disaster.

The Ongoing Crisis

Meanwhile, the fires in California continue to devastate communities.

The death toll has risen to 24, with many more unaccounted for.

Four major fires have already burned through over 40,000 acres, affecting affluent neighborhoods and even celebrity homes.

The situation is exacerbated by the forecasted weather conditions, with dangerous winds expected to intensify the fires and hamper firefighting efforts.

The Human Cost of the Fires

In addition to the property damage, the fires have claimed numerous lives, including those of both residents and celebrities.

The story of Rory Callum Sykes, a former British child star who tragically died in the Malibu fire, highlights the personal losses many have experienced.

The fires have also prompted widespread looting, with numerous arrests already made as opportunists take advantage of the chaos.

The Path Forward

As the fires continue, residents are facing an uncertain future.

With evacuation orders in place and many unable to return to their homes, there is no clear end in sight.

The weather is expected to worsen, prolonging the danger, while first responders work tirelessly to contain the blazes and search for the missing.

In the meantime, discussions around safety, resource management, and the broader implications of such disasters will continue to divide opinions.
