Are You KIDDING Us? LAPD Has 'No Probable Cause' to Charge Wildfire Suspect Carrying Blowtorch With Arson
Twichy ^

Posted on 01/10/2025 11:35:12 AM PST by TigerClaws

Every day, the story of the L.A. wildfires gets worse. Earlier today, we told you authorities had arrested a man suspected of starting at least one wildfire after that suspect was detained by citizens. Advertisement

He was allegedly found carrying a blowtorch and seen trying to ignite fires. In a city where everything is burning and people are losing everything, and at least five are dead.

Now the LAPD says they have 'no probably cause' to charge him with arson.

He was likely a "Biden guest" and they don't want the narrative that invaders are causing wildfires.

The original footage showing the ‘citizens arrest’ - he had a blowtorch and was lighting fires.

The eyewitnesses are not enough??

GPS data from X source says he was carrying multiple electronic devices including a UN sponsored debit card.

Just on an innocent cycling trip to the ‘burbs with a blowtorch…la la la

And the guy was apparently telling bystanders not to try and stop home because he “had” to do it (light things on fire). Wonder who paid thus guy.

I say it all the time:

The police are there primarily to protect the Bad Guys from the righteous anger of the Good Guys. The police have no interest in helping Good Guys. None.

The LA Fire Department’s strategic plan made “DEI” and a “progressive work environment” two of their top three priorities—regarding them as more important than “technological innovations” and “disaster recovery capabilities,” which it ranked last.

My guess is that they want to cover it up. This guy is probably an illegal and a gang member, a trial with him is going to turn even LA against illegal immigration and they can’t afford that, so they are covering it up and not charging him, just like the cops in the UK on the child rapists.

You can hear on scanners talk of these fire starting mini-propane tanks being seen.

Here’s what they do:
1. Send in low level guy or crackhead to start fires;
2. Evacuations result;
3. Go in and loot - 100 at one time entered on neighborhood.
4. Fire burns up all the evidence.

But this is HORRIBLE for the open borders Dems — illegal gangs not only exploiting the tragedy but causing it?

So it was a ‘fire bug / random / homeless person / no charges’ and move on.

But... someone will get the gang in action start to finish soon on video. This weekend most likely as winds will be crazy high again.

FOX News needs to get those witnesses and their videos on TV.
It won’t help prosecute a case against the perp but will show who their PD is protecting

I worked for the LAPD as a young man and they don’t play politics with stuff like this. My guess is that we don’t have all the information yet, just rumors and half truths from the media.

Local reports say he is an illegal - THAT is what the LADFD and LA government wants to cover up - how many wildfires are set by illegals and homeless.

It is a commercial-garage pressurized MAPP-gas/ propane blowtorch. (Usually self-igniting). With that yellow MAPP gas bottle, the flame can burn for over an hour. (Wonder where this “professional homeless man” got the 30.00 to pay for the battle and torch .)
