"The attacker was reportedly throwing molotov cocktails, which may have set off the blaze, witnesses told MYFOXLA."
The house was engulfed in flames ...
That guy looks like a cop. Shave his head, add some faggy dark glasses, and he couldn’t be anything else.
Sure the molotov’s gave’em a clue it wasn’t really Santa Claus ~ but this isn’t going to stop the anti-gun crowd in California from trying to prohibit ugly looking Santa’s, and make folks with extensive Christmas lawn ornamentation get Santa suit permits.
Ya ever watch or play some of these 1st person shooter games they have now days?
Ones like grand theft auto where you go around at random killing or what ever other form of vice meets your fancy.
I firmly believe they are helping create just this sort of monster.
I have noticed that here and in the UK the agenda is not to stop crime but instead to document the crime so the perp can be caught and put into the system. Hence cameras instead of security guards.
Sounds like a Police and Corrections make work program instead of protection and crimefighting.
You drag your as* around the globe in 24 hours, making countless stops.
You'd be a little cranky too.
Yeah, I think there’s quite a bit of truth in what you say.
Did this guy just crash a random party or were these people he knew and maybe had a grudge against?
Loving wife and family.
Come on, who else ya gonna kill on Christmas? Someone ya love of course, not a stranger.
According to reports I read, the shooter was still there shooting when police arrived and they kept the firefighters away while they waited and the house began to burn.
And how exactly did the suspect simply walk away while police were there???
I think games like that are a mind control scheme to create monsters. I guess I can understand why someone might like a war game or one of those games where one saves the earth by blasting invading space aliens. But it is sick that there are games where one scores points by going around killing people. I suppose next there will be video games about serial killers or rapists or child molesters, where sickos can score points by doing the unthinkable - a little video training before they graduate to the real world. And the government will protect "entertainment" like this while making it hard for you to own a gun to protect yourself.
They theorized that the “shooting” was ammo going off in the full on blaze. I suspect the guy was gone almost immediately after the shooting by merely removing his santa suit.
He was carrying a box when he knocked at the door and was throwing molotov cocktails or the like. 80 firefighters ... that’s blaze.
Here’s a link and quote:

Robin Myers, 50, who lives with her mother in the house behind the one Pardo attacked, was at home working on her computer when the attack happened.
“I heard an explosion and I went out to investigate because it was pretty loud,” Myers said. “I went outside and saw a wall of flames.”
The two-story house, located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, was fully engulfed by fire, Los Angeles County Fire officials said. About 80 firefighters were initially kept at bay by police who feared that the gunman was still in the area. They battled flames that soared 40 to 50 feet high for an hour and a half before extinguishing the fire, according to Capt. Mike Brown.
The perp is dead, thank God. The perp has entered the next level of hell.
Thanks.
I still have the Columbine High School shooting on the brain...
Police just waited until it was “safe”...
Shortly after the Columbine shooting, our State and local police were retrained (by federal directive, they said) to go for the shooter, and forget all the monkeying around with perimeters. They held a simulated school attack (no students there) so school admins could learn how police would respond, and bring school disaster plans into coordination with law enforcement. We were told there would be no more teachers bleeding to death like at Columbine. FWIW.
Thanks for the info! I just saw on Breitbart that the body count is now at 8.
