Oregon Man Arrested For Starting 7 Fires; Police Recover Molotov Cocktail
USSA News ^ | 09/14/2020 | Tyler Durden

Amid windy and worsening conditions at least 35 have died from the spate of West Coast fires which many thousands of firefighters are still busy battling. And there are still dozens of missing persons who were in the vicinity of the blazes.

Meanwhile the mainstream media is busy issuing headlines like this instead of actually trying to get to the bottom of what's behind the seeming simultaneous explosion of fires: "Oregon Officials Warn False Antifa Rumors Waste Precious Resources For Fires," writes NPR.

And now local Portland media is reporting that a 45-year old man has been arrested for starting at least seven brush fires near a major highway: "A man arrested Sunday afternoon for allegedly starting a small brush fire along Interstate 205 was arrested again hours after he was released from jail after he allegedly started six more small fires," according to a Portland Police statement. File image: smoke from a wildfire near Estacada last week, via Oregon Live.

So a single individual responsible for no less than seven brush fires - six of which he reportedly started after already being arrested and released... but somehow the media is demanding that the public consider it inconceivable that Antifa could be engaged in a campaign of arson in many of these fires.

"Nothing to see here!" apparently.

The suspect, identified as Domingo Lopez Jr., reportedly had a molotov with him upon the second arrest:

After officers and firefighters put out a small brush fire along I-205 around 4:30 p.m. Sunday, a witness flagged down officers about an hour later and said the man who started the fires was in a nearby tent. Police spoke to Lopez Jr., who told officer he lit the fire, police said. He was arrested and a plastic bottle with a wick was seized as evidence.

Portland Police Bureau showed the molotov cocktail to reporters:

It remains unclear whether the man, who may have been living in a tent near the scene of the fires, cooperated with other individuals or has any broader affiliation.

How on earth could they let him go? Whomever is responsible for releasing him, needs to be charged with a crime.

"the man, who may have been living in a tent"

At least they have his full address in case they need to find him again.

Wonder how many times that tent has voted...

And gee, don’t all the Antifa folks live in tents...in Portland.

Clearly, we need to tax tents more, regulate them, as the tents are making arsonists out of people.

Pretty smart of Antifa to pay the homeless to start fires. They’ll do anything for cash and it’s a lot harder to trace back to the real instigators.

Here’s a grade school science experiment from days of old.

Take a plastic bottle, pour in a small amount of gasoline or rubbing alcohol, shake it up, completely empty the liquid, place it horizontal on a non-flammable surface, and place a light match at opening.

What happens?

How can this be true, USA Today fact check the claim that the fires were being deliberately set and said pronounced it false?

Fact check: Oregon fires were not set by anti-fascist activists

I'm so sick of these people.

>>>Plastic molotov cocktail?<<<

He gets an “A” for effort but an “F” for building a working Model.

In a day and age where every bit of Human Knowledge is literally at your Fingertips, this Moron never thought to Google “Molotov Cocktail”.

I’m sorry, this must be a hoax, the fbi says so. Everyone knows it’s global warming starting the mostly peaceful blazes.

“Police recover Molotov cocktail...”. Sounds like the police had lost and then recovered a Molotov cocktail that they had made.
