Actually, you know what, I'm not curious to find out whether he's an illegal or not. Wanna know why? Even if you don't, I'll tell you.

While Hispanics jump the border daily, I have read very few reports of Armenians illegally sneaking into the country.

Not only that, but the terrorists who were involved with 9/11 were here /legally/, with visas and the works.

I don't like illegal immigrants, lemme get that straight... but I also am rational enough to realize that the vast majority of illegal immigrants are not terrorists. In the case of this individual, I don't rightly give a damn if he's legal or illegal. In fact, it's probable that he's here legally.

What I /do/ care about is the fact that he was caught and detained, and that the fire he was starting in Eaton Canyon (which I have spent many pleasant hours hiking in) was put out.

There is a very large Armenian population in Southern and Central California, and (surprise, everyone!) they've been there since the turn of the century.

I think we're all drawing way too many conclusions before the facts are known. It's not impossible to believe that an Armenian Christian could become a radical Muslim. Unlikely, but possible.

If it's a copycat attack, then he could be purely mentally unstable, selfish, or plain evil on his own accord.

We may never know...
