Good Morning America – 15 hrs ago

Officials this evening identified a man arrested after a series of 52 blazes in the Los Angeles area as Harry Burkhart, 24.

Burkhart was charged this afternoon with one count of arson of an inhabited dwelling, with more charges expected as the investigation proceeds, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa told reporters. Burkhart was being held without bail.

"These were serious and potentially deadly crimes that needlessly endangered thousands of innocent lives," Villaraigosa said. "These crimes will not be tolerated."

According to ABC News sources directly involved in the case, the "prime suspect" under arrest told authorities upon his detention, "I hate America."

The level of damage that he, at 24, is alleged to have done is quite impressive. It sounds like a case right out of a TV show.

According to the LA Times, he was a German national, had Chechen travel papers, and his mother is “Russian.” His mother is in the process of being deported. There’s a lot of possibilities here.

Chechens are technically Russians since Chechnya is incorporated into Russian Federation and residents are geven Russian passports.

It tells a lot about this guy because biting a feeding hand is a long Chechen tradition.

They don’t want deportation as they are to end up back in Russia there she is possibly wanted for terrorism making arsons and bombs against Russians while accepting Russian food stamps.

I heard that the damages caused by all of the fires he set is right around $3-million dollars.

“had Chechen travel papers”
 
"Hmmmm, a Muzzie perchance?"
From that LATimes article:
"The suspected arsonist is a 24-year-old German national who carried travel papers from Chechnya. He had spent time in Germany, they said, but had lived in Southern California for the last several years."
Anti-American who spent time in Germany, was from Muslim part of the world and was in the US illegally!

Sound just like Mohamed Atta.

What else would a sane person expect, when the only thing the Federal Government on the foreign invaders here to destroy America is to give the invaders more rights and benefits?

And the response of so many GOP presidential contenders is to merely try to sell the same poison with sugar coating (DreamAct, PathToCitizenship, etc.).

City News Service says the elder Burkhart was actually wanted in Germany ...

... on 19 counts of fraud, most stemming from allegations that she bilked apartment renters out of security deposits ...

... and that an arrest warrant was issued for her in 2007. Note here that we found a 2008 copyright notice on one of the sites linked to her phone number.
