John David Corey, aka “Joker,” is facing two felony counts of arson of an inhabited structure and one count each of arson during a state of emergency, first-degree residential burglary and possession of flammable material, the DA’s office reported. 
Prosecutors say Corey broke into the historic mission and set it on fire. 
The early morning fire, which broke out at the 249-year-old church... July 11, 2020, burned the roof of the mission and much of the Catholic church’s interior. 
Firefighters from the San Gabriel Fire Department responded to the blaze that day just after 4:30 a.m. 
In December 2020, crews began installing a temporary roof at the beloved church to protect it from the rainy season. 
The case remains under investigation by the San Gabriel Fire Department.

    “MK-ULTRA. Just look at him. A Unibomber clone.”
The CIA never stopped. Kind of like the Covid virus, they just shipped it offshore.

    Antifa? Or firebug?
The only difference being political motivation.

    Has a motive been established, or is he just a lone nutcase? He looks kind of like the latter.
