Arson Arrest Made In Fast-Moving Southern California Fire

A California man has been taken into custody on suspicion of arson, as firefighters have contained just 5 percent of the blaze that started Wednesday in the Idyllwild area in Riverside County.

The Cranston Fire has destroyed five homes and forced some 3,200 people to evacuate. The fire spread very rapidly, expanding to 4,700 acres in just a few hours.

On Wednesday, the same day the blaze started, California fire authorities arrested Brandon McGlover, a 32-year-old man from Temecula. He has been booked into a detention center for "five counts of arson to wildland," and it wasn't immediately clear what his motivation might be.

The other wildland fires, according to fire authorities, are "within Southwest Riverside County and Federal areas along State Highway 74 in the San Bernardino National Forest."

According to The Associated Press, officials say that McGlover's car "was reportedly spotted at the starting point of the blaze."

Very sad. Wonder what kind of a nut case is charged with doing this?

Prayers for the victims.

I think that intentionally setting a fire that *could* or actually does endanger human life should be prosecuted as attempted murder, in addition to any and all other charges laid.

This happens every year, it seems, and the arsonists seem to get away with a LOT more than what they should.

JMHO, YMMV

Arson is a very efficient way for a black person to kill a lot of white people with very little effort.

Little is known about McGlover at this time or what his motivation was.

Uh, huh.

The mind of an arsonist (not this case). LINK

More arsonist related materials LINK

Anger, desire to negatively impact someone, feeling very isolated from people, and the empowerment the fire starter (arsonist) feels from knowing he caused it all, can be the motivators.

It can also beterrorism related.

Any fire can kill a fireman - and occasionally the fire truck hits someone on the way to the fire.

Stack a pile of dried brush, fallen trees and such - place a wooden chair on top of said pile directly in the path of one of the firestorms he set.
Place remote cameras.
Bind this person to said chair.
Broadcast for all to see.

The word gets out fast that starting conflagrations ain’t so cool after all.

Yeah, I know this circumvents due process however this fire freak will not be setting fires ever again.

I’ve seen his photo, I’m looking forward to hearing his recent background. I suspect he is a terrorist. If not he is just another CA Crazy. (doubt it here)

I searched a few hours ago for this Brandon McGlover and all I found was the fast 5 facts Crap. Half a dozen times the same Crap just different snewz sites.

Went to People Search and one other of those type sites and found a Brandon N. McGlover in the LA area and both sites compiled reports but I’m not going to pay for them.

Didn’t try fazebook. But a Bing search doesn’t show one just the 5 fast lies do I’m going to say that LEO’s have scrubbed him or given Us a nome’de plume.

I’m not buying it.

Translation = raghead convert and LEO’s are covering up to keep the Rioting from starting.

This jerk has hurt and pissed off a LOT OF PEOPLE.

That’s what the piece at Heavy said as well. No social media presence.

I took a long look at his photo and formed an opinion. Sent the photo to my son (Iraq vet) and asked him what ethnic background did he see...text back said, “ME, at least half”...that’s what I saw too.

Curious.
