Update: L.A. fires likely set by more than one arsonist, police believe
LA Times ^ | 12/31/11 | Andrew Blankstein

Los Angeles authorities investigating a string of more than 35 fires set over the last two days strongly suspect the blazes are the work of more than one arsonist.

On Friday morning, 21 fires were started in a relatively small area around Hollywood and West Hollywood. On Friday night and Saturday morning, 16 more fires were reported. They were similar to the ones in Hollywood but were spread out over a much larger area.

Most likely muslims, given the fact that the LAPD have already arrested 2 suspects on Thursday night and are now pretending that those arrests didn't happen. Why are they not releasing the name of the second suspect arrested on Thursday?

I’d go after Amish, White Rednecks, Gun Owners, Jews, Bible Worshippers, CEO’s, and children under 5. Gotta be one of these!!

Sounds like the MO of the “yutes” outside of Paris—burn the cars.

35 cars is a lot of cars to torch—unless you are trying to make a statement.

It would be easier to steal them.

I think some “yutes” are on the prowl.

Why would you accuse Muslims? These are hardly “Muslim” names!

The two arrested:
22 year-old Sun Valley resident Samual Arrington.

This guy was the second arrested, but not for arson....he was burning trash!
....55 year-old Alejandro Pineda.

Arrington (his non-Muslim name) was the one arrested on Thursday. And there were 35 fires set AFTER “Arrington” was arrested.

The fact that it could be either muslims or occupiers speaks volumes.

Update:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/12/31/us-losangeles-carfires-idUSTRE7BU0D320111231

No suspects were in custody Saturday morning, Eisenman said. Police released people who had been detained in the investigation after determining they had no connection to the fires, she said.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the OCCUPY WALL STREET crowd is setting these fires.

Most likely muslims

This is the second thread you've posted about this story today. Where are you getting the idea that the criminals torching cars in Los Angeles are mobs of angry Muslim youths?

It’s a New Year’s tradition for muslim “youths” to set automobiles on fire.
