A homeless man has been busted on suspicion of starting one of the wildfires ravaging Los Angeles — after brave locals tackled him as he wandered around using what looked like a “flamethrower.”

The unidentified suspect was seen riding around Woodland Hills on a bicycle on Thursday afternoon setting fire to several old Christmas trees and garbage cans at the same time as the Kenneth Fire started, locals said.

Renata Grinshpun told KTLA she was in her backyard when she heard a car screech to a stop and a man yelling, “Neighbors, he’s trying to start a fire! Call 911!’”

She saw the suspect holding a large “propane tank or a flamethrower” — which others described as a blowtorch — as he tried to torch debris in the street.

When you deny God and remove him from your land you invite demons in. This should surprise no one. CA is getting exactly what they want. A Godless evil infested society of demon possessed humans living a pagan life. Why are they so upset, they wanted this.

America’s expensive, bloated, leftist, union and lawfare big-city governments will never be able to solve this problem.

Once they go bankrupt, there may be a chance at reform, but not until then.

The change is reversion toward the mean.

The recent California condition is diversion from the millenniums old mean that makes LA a desert. LA has grown during a climatic anomaly. The drought and fire is reversion toward the mean

Jihadi?

Could be.

Could also be one countless psychotic homeless schizos.

Either is plausible. And apparently there's more than one arsonist walking around setting fires in L.A. so it could be a combination of many different fine people.
