@@JustMonday-tu4rx - I did the same. Makes me wonder if they were connected to that guy, in some way. I don't believe for a minute these fires were set by one guy and he also may be a scapegoat. Look over here, not over there.
he wont let go of the blow torch because he knows its evidence. the police let him go because theres no video proof or eyewitness of him setting the brush fire. he admits to burning stuff and that should have been reason enough to fine him at least. needlessly burning stuff is how many fires start.
So its ok to walk around with a blow torch in a major fire and not be considered a criminal? If he had a bomb on him during war is he not considered a threat?
All neighbors…except the 2 spineless guys just sitting on the car, watching…no help at all🤦🏼♀️ Just like the justice system in CA, arrested him, let him go…spineless. owell 🤷🏼♀️
Not charged for carrying a blowtorch in a neighborhood that he didn't live in...what part of that is not PREMEDITATED? 😒 Thank you to the brave neighbors that saved their neighborhood 😊
Yep, guess they aren't concerned with people running around with blow torches trying to light more fires. There were plenty of eyewitnesses to keep him locked up. Letting him, and others like him, go is insane! No wonder they can't get the fires out!
@@2581nblthere were people in the neighborhood who witnessed him trying to set fire to the garbage cans. They should have kept him locked up for attempted arson.
That's what I want to know! I'm furious and concerned for those people in that neighborhood. I hope the guy doesn't go back there to finish what he obviously was trying to start!
And thanks to their LE for letting the guy get away with attempted arson amid the largest fire they've ever had in LA. If I were a firefighter in that area, I'd be making the PD take my shift for awhile and see how fun it is to fight fires that are magnified by arsonists like him whom they chose to let go!
I agree! I can't believe they let him go! What's to stop him from finishing what he was so obviously was trying to start? Obviously law enforcement isn't going to do anything about it.
Some news station said that he did light old Christmas trees on fire and other garbage. But then the cops or da said there wasn't enough evidence to charge him with arson so they got him for violating probation. They put him in jail but only for something he should have already been in for.
That's what I'd heard yesterday, too. Even if he wasn't successful in getting anything to light up, there were still two witnesses who saw him trying to set fire to materials in their garbage cans. They should have kept him locked up for attempted arson. I do not understand their thinking and why they let him go... especially amidst the worst fire they've ever had!
I'm sure some people will say it's racism again 😬 When this man was stopped by the local people it was not clear what he was going to do. Everyone must be on alert now. So, don't blame those people for being too suspicious.
Besides that they need fire breaks and more than just around the house if they want to stop wind driven fires. But they did zero so we are not sure how much it would take.
Idiots plant trees in the wrong places and neighbors as possible illegal immigrants grow trees that grow towards my house to create a problem out of things. They were in force to get rid of the tree.
An the police had not enough evidence to charge him an released him . I guess the blow torch wasn’t enough to hold him for attempting to set fires . This is one reason there’s arsonists starting fires to often when they catch a release or do 3 strikes .
And apparently the witnesses who saw him trying to set fire to materials in their garbage cans weren't enough either. Fire fighters in that area have to deal not only with mother nature but also incompetent law enforcement that let would-be arsonists go. I feel bad for the firefighters. 😢
He wasn't just holding the torch. Two different people saw him try to set fire to materials in their garbage cans. The last I checked, that WAS illegal and called "attempted arson". They should have kept this creep locked up. He's just going to go out and do it again... especially knowing he can get away with it now!
Were the related charges drgs bc that would make sense… people use torches for wax, I’m sure they use it for other substances too. I’m just saying, in case anyone is curious as to how he could have gotten away with arson.
It's a Mapp gas bottle. Even the most stupid of drug addicts are not stupid enough to use Mapp gas for smoking meth or fentanyl. They would find out after only one use. It's not likely he's using it for drugs. So more likely he's using it to start fires. Crazy that no one else has picked up on this. I'm sure the cops had no clue. Tradesmen know.
This morning I saw Gruesom being interviewed on Meet the Depressed with the sound off. The reporter talking to him looked like Jimmy Neutron and Gavin was wearing a cheap casual outfit. The whole time Gavin was grinning like a baked possum and with no sound appeared to be a beach bum discussing surfing or something non serious. Smiling. WTF California??
Evidence??? He's seems to be saying he has it for some other reason. Their are other reasons to have one including repairing things. You don't know for sure than he gets ganged up on.
@@user-oi4tj4pp8qexactly! The guy was riding around on his bike trying to set MORE fires to materials in people's garages amid the worst fires they've ever experienced. If that's not enough to keep the guy - and others like him - locked up, idk what IS!! I'm glad I don't live there. I feel sorry for those that do!
Anybody noticed 2 guys looked unbothered sitting on their trunk? while the guy was confronting the guy with the torch?
After reading your comment I noticed it. Unbelievable.
Was going to mention that, sadly there are many like them.

That's critical thinking, you're not allowed to do that anymore
if you look at the truck they look like immigrants that are cutting grass under wild fires
THEY RELEASED HIM OF THOSE CHARGES, ONLY KEPT HIM ON VIOLATION OF PROBATION. THAT'S IT! THEY SAID: NO PROOF.... THEN WTF DID WE JUST WATCH?!?!
Exactly - who rides around with a blow torch.
He has on him 5 cellphones, and 1 CC from the UN. (check news)
You watched him holding a blow torch.
Other residents saw him trying to lite fires. WTF
It's Calf..... you actually expect a different outcome.... best state in the U.S. to commit a crime....

California is lost in every way imaginable
The whole country is..
No it is not, is it great no, it is the 6th largest economy in the world, the budget cuts, were due to tax cuts, which is what you MAGA, hate.
You got that right!
After seeing this video, I hope this isn't a terrorist attack. Stay safe.
It is quite likely to be the Iranians and Russians working together on this fire , they keep making random attacks throughout Europe
Scary to consider how opportunists might have seen a prime opportunity to strike, isn't it?!
He isn't the only person starting fires according to other videos.
True. And apparently law enforcement isn't going to do one thing about it.
So its ok to walk around with a blow torch in a major fire and not be considered a criminal? If he had a bomb on him during war is he not considered a threat?
Not if he is in a protected group.

Yes! They, at least, have proven there are some smart people left in CA.
They did arrest him but they let him go!!!!!!
No video showing him setting fires, no witnesses.... they have no choice. Sucks.

@@2581nblYou sound vaccinated.
Why aren’t more people talking about this?
biden controls the media
Everyone is talking about it. You must be slow
it does not fit that narrative that these fires are Climate crisis
People in LA know this. It was mainly reported on local news.
Embarrassed about the fact that LE let him go? 🤔🤨
The citizens saw him starting fires. And yet he's not charged with arson? WTF is going on? .
That's what I want to know! I'm furious and concerned for those people in that neighborhood. I hope the guy doesn't go back there to finish what he obviously was trying to start!
People on the street have more common sense than those “in charge” ..He needs to be held until he can prove he didn’t do what they say he did.
Looks like a border crosser 😢 thanks Biden

LA Paying the piper now.
he should have been taken care of before the police got there
Yep a dem judge just let him out I’m sure
Let go shortly after taken into custody.
Even if he's was innocent how stupid can you be to walk around with a blowtorch when everything is on fire. DOH
I hear they let him go already..
Finally some one taking action. But our system is backing the torcher first.
Yeah, they are outright protecting the would-be arsonist and not the homeowners! Sickening!
That's crazy !then why was he holding the blow torch?it's very suspicious
Come on, he holds a fire igniting tool, what else is he doing with it other than starting fires! Maniac!!
All goofballs who are caught doing that should be charged at least $50,000 and 5 yrs in jail.
I agree! I can't believe they let him go! What's to stop him from finishing what he was so obviously was trying to start? Obviously law enforcement isn't going to do anything about it.

He's gotten off free because we're not allowed to detain people.
Crazy world!!
For sure!

Shame on the losers by the red truck!
Yeah, but he didn't set fire on anything. Just carrying around a blowtorch as everybody does.
Witnesses say he set things on fire.
Not for lack of trying. Two different people saw him trying to set fire to materials in their garbage cans.
But they'll arrest you for trying to get your home 100%
they need to ban blowtourch.
That's how stupid the law is in California and everywhere
Everyone needs to clean all the brush away from their home…all pine needles on roof…set up for a disaster
Besides that they need fire breaks and more than just around the house if they want to stop wind driven fires. But they did zero so we are not sure how much it would take.

That's how that museum survived the fires (along with preemptive help from the FD).

Map gas.. It is technically called a sodering torch
Not illegal to brandish a blowtorch, people.

They should have kept this creep locked up. He's just going to go out and do it again... especially knowing he can get away with it now!
Try that in Florida
Especially in Sheriff Grady's backyard. He'd never let this fool get away.
*Edit:* Sheriff Grady Judd
The guy in the red sweater didnt help them at all..🙄
But then they let him go once the police come. HE was arrested and then released. He was out within hours.
I wouldn't live in the scrub/forest as it's not a matter of if but when. Especially in this crazy world of arsonists.
Typical LA police and prosecutors. Do not charge criminals
No kidding. They only charge victims instead. This is insane!

Palestinians all over facebook laugh reacting at these LA fires and this mans caught a blow torch. Smh.
This was dew not a single person stop blaming the Innocent they're getting people to fight each other
The show must go on...
That looks like one of them Iranian guys!!!
Democrat Utopia….
Best not try to do any copper plumbing work or the news will say you have a flamethrower
he was just dabbing
Would have let him go had he not had priors
This has always been a possibility and California has know this since the bel air fire in the early 60s.
Homeless, they will release him and give him a handful of money...
Hate crime
Insurance company plant!
They all gotta get sued By the poor little old black victim/parolee.

Smoking wax
Most likely a copycat.
Too feeble to be the actual arsonist.
There could be several being paid by Russian and Iranian intelligence this kind of terror has been spiralling in Europe
Old news
Great Acting and Distrstion....Fake News
Play show.
...all made for purpose...

The cause is global warming. Cal letting the arson out without bail makes perfect sense .

This could be a soft terrrorist attack for all we know -
Shouldn’t have got police involved and dealt with it themselves. Only way real justice gets served
He was merely out jogging.
