Historical Context for Los Angeles Inferno
This isn’t the first Palisades Fire:
The Palisades Fire, which occurred in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, California, in 2021, was determined to be caused by arson. … The main suspect was identified as 48-year-old Ramon Santos Rodriguez, but he was later released due to a lack of substantial evidence connecting him to the fire.
More recently, a new wildfire has been burning in the Pacific Palisades area as of January 8, 2025. This fire, also referred to as the Palisades Fire, has been rapidly spreading due to strong winds, reaching over 15,800 acres by January 9, 2025. While the cause of the current fire has not been definitively determined, the possibility of arson is being considered given the recent history of arson in the area.
Starting fires is easy and fun:
Unbelievable! OMG! A homeless person who is lighting fires!!!! She said she was doing a good thing. Colton jurisdiction. No wonder why there are always devastating fires.
This woman needs to be arrested immediately. Extreme fire risk with these winds today. pic.twitter.com/ciRQmwqI1G

More historical context, from 2020:
A man who was arrested in Oregon after allegedly using a Molotov cocktail to start a wildfire was later released from jail but rearrested less than 24 hours later for allegedly starting six more small fires. The incident comes amid a string of devastating wildfires as northern California, Oregon, and Washington suffer varying degrees of drought following an extremely dry summer.
Domingo Lopez Jr., 45, was arrested after using a Molotov cocktail “to start a small brush fire” …
The moonbattery-induced decay of society — whereby sociopaths feel entitled, enabled, and unlikely to be punished — was bound to have consequences. This year’s Palisades Fire may turn out to be one of them.
