Authorities have made an arrest in the devastating Palisades fire, which burned tens of thousands of acres and killed 12 people in Los Angeles in January. CNN reports:
Florida resident Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, is facing a federal charge of destruction of property by means of fire, according to Bill Essayli, the acting US attorney for Southern California.
“The investigation into the Palisades Fire of January 2025 was lengthy, complex and, as I mentioned, extremely thorough,” Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said at a news conference on Wednesday.
The fire started on January 7 and ended up as the third-most destructive wildfire in Southern California history. Authorities had suspected that arson was the cause.
Rinderknecht faces a mandatory minimum of five years in prison and potentially up to 20 years. According to the Department of Justice, he generated images of a burning city on ChatGPT.
Have DUpipo started claiming Rinderknecht is MAGA yet. There are some obvious possibilities, but I can wait for more info to become public.

I notice they stop short of actually calling it ARSON... :therock:

If it turns out he is guilty as charged, he should be facing a helluva lot more than a maximum of 20 years. However, considering this is coming from the Cal AT's office and the LA chief of police, I'd like to see the feds look at the evidence as well. Sorry, but I just can't trust a political machine that includes Pelosi, Feinstein, Swalwell , and Newsom. You can't ask for a more dedicated bunch of Never Trumpers. And they would jump at the chance to finally pin a terrorist act on a MAGA member.
