Here's What We Know About the Alleged Palisades Arsonisthttps://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2025/10/09/did-palisades-arsonist-donate-to-joe-biden-n4944625Federal Election Commission (FEC) data apparently shows that the man charged with starting the devastating and deadly Pacific Palisades fire in California donated to Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign.
FEC’s database shows that “Rinderknecht, Jonathan” from Los Angeles, Calif., in a Pacific Palisades zip code, donated $2.00 to Democrat fundraising platform ActBlue and $1.00 “EARMARKED FOR BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT.” The sums are paltry, and the person has not yet been confirmed by authorities as the arsonist, but if true, this could indicate Rinderknecht‘s political leanings and confirm what others have posited: that he’s another leftist terrorist — possibly an eco-terrorist.
While Rinderknecht is now residing in Florida and many outlets are referring to him as a Florida man, because that is where he’ll appear in court, he was, in fact, a resident of the Palisades at one time and knew the neighborhood where he is accused of starting this year’s horrendous fire. In fact, based on what authorities said, it appears that he moved to Florida after the fires, possibly to escape suspicion.
...
Whatever inspired Jonathan Rinderknecht to become an arsonist, the irreparable damage he wreaked on Southern California remains a charred and sobering reminder of how much mentally ill criminals can mar.
The guy used his family Bible in setting the fire, probably at least partly with anti-Christian motivation.
