Burned up $14 million worth of property to steal $140 worth of tools.
And still got caught.
i bet he thought it would be a small fire
All that BLM looting & fires led to this. It's normal to do this stuff, why complain now.
he should be charged with Total lack of judgment and Complete stupidity = life sentence
This is just insanity. I don't really know why they always have to print a motive. He is a psychopath. There's no reason to cause so much destruction.
I wish that he would receive federal prison time for such a heinous act of violence towards people and objects. I am disgusted by his actions.
He'll do a month at county, a fine he can't pay and probably get medal from Nancy and Newscome
What a dirt bag, he should get life without parole because of all of the lives he put in danger. I am grateful no one was hurt.
Your comments are much appreciated. On POINTS!
No problem just a caring american citizen.
California is just too weak on crime. in the last 20 years.
Eligible for parole in 6-9 years for massive arson!?? No attempted murder?
some people just need to be eliminated from this earth
Yeah, but save that energy for the pedos
Save that energy for the so called elites and celebrities
The list is long. Hell is going to be packed.
CONDOMS work out best, for all of us.
Space X and NASA may have solutions.
Bull crap - only 6-9 years on GB. How about 1 day for each dollar of damage. It’s no freaking wonder criminals do not fear the outcome of a life of crime.
Smash and Grab has evolved into Burn and Grab.
Suspect has a face only a mother could love
A drugo mother.
For the first 2 minutes, I thought the speaker was about to accept an academy award.
However, since they caught the scum bag, I’m good with that. Good job!
Think he left some names out.
It looks like Ukraine after missile attack!
Exactly 👀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Several years ago a man tried that in the paint department of our local Home Depot. Fortunately, the fire was put out before it spread. However, a short time later, he set fire to a townhouse complex under construction a block away, which burned so furiously, it set fire to a to a next door townhouse complex. He was arrested.
He wasn't arrested after the first fire??
@@GrumpyCat24 They either didn’t know who he was or couldn’t find him until after the second fire. It’s several years ago now, so I don’t remember which.
this guy has been doing this his whole life but he finally fucked up big time.
Thank you for catching him he doesn't need to be on the streets
Yeah he definitely did not need to be on the streets or anyone who does things like that
Anyone wanna bet that this guy has a record and was left to let loose because of the lenient laws in California?
Who should be held more accountable? The clowns running the justice system who let this guy roam free or the actual criminal?
What a joke.
both
I place the blame squarely on our goodie two shoe Governor Greusom Newsom .
@@donjose6520 put the blame on trump and the republic senators...A republican senator introduced the bail act reform bill and trump signed it into law with Kim Kardashian by his side.
@@itsallgood8206 Right !
The voters who passed these ridiculous referendums are to blame too.
The employees and customers cleared the store. They should be recognized as the heroes.
Tep they should.
Incredible that there wasn’t a widespread panic. A lot of people must have remained pretty calm in order for them to get out safely. Remarkable. I think I’d freak out
Another unintended result of letting shoplifters run wild in California.
Unintended...?...
Wake up man these Democrats know exactly what they're doing.
Brought you by Gavin Newsom
ALL CRIMINALS NEED TO BE DESTROYED 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
@@lovethyneighbor1955 AMEN THATS RIGHT ITS TIME TO GET THESE DEMOCRATS OUT OF HERE AND I MEAN THAT!!!!!
Ah yes because only shoplifting happens in California no where else
This is what happens when you let thieves run wild.
That's right Criminals need to be Destroyed 💥💥💥💥
Nobody, "Lets thieves run wild" anywhere in the US. Laws are laws, and if you are caught breaking them you get arrested.
@@Mogul20478 and then they don’t prosecute.
@@albeit1 we can't. Our jail system is already overloaded across the US, and it costs taxpayers a shit load of money to house inmates. Maybe if we would stop arresting people for small drug offenses we could actually hold real criminals accountable and house them in jail
@@Mogul20478 if we stopped punishing people for victimless crimes, space would be far less of a problem. If that is actually a problem with all the releases.
He should get LIFE for this!!
It’s just a Home Depot.
@@giftedgreen2152 NO its extremely reckless, dangerous, caused loss of jobs and so much pollution and waste. NO
@@giftedgreen2152 Was I talking to you?! It's not "just a Home Depot!!" He not only burned down a humongous Home Depot, but he burned down someone's freaking HOUSE that was next to that Home Depot! That Home Depot was in a parking lot across that wa across the street from a from a shopping mall and was next to other stores where multiple people frequent! Did you not know that there were propane tanks inside that Home Depot that were exploding? He not only could have killed people inside the Home Depot but he could have killed people inside of the home that was next to Home Depot as well as ALL of the surrounding stores!! If you would have listened to the entire news report about that demon of a man, you would know that that dude not only risked the lives of SOOOO many people, but that he has has been stealing from at least 3-5 other companies for the past few YEARS (thousands of dollars worth of merchandise). I stand by my comment because I'm sure this dude has done a lot more but has never been caught! The guy should get charged with attempted murder and spend the rest of his life in jail!! I said what I said!! How bout this, in the fiture, if you don't agree with a comment, just simply take your bony finger, put it on your phone and keep scrolling
@@giftedgreen2152 And your just a moron.
Never happen in liberal California.
2:25 to skip past the grandstanding
He could be paroled in 6 to 9 years for what amounts to domestic terrorism?Are you serious?
Lol California will let him out in a year.
@@MrErichonda30 You bet
"It wasn't arson. It was a special incendiary operation." Suspect
I see what you did there lol.
Good save
That’s only if the Russians do it
Don’t let him plead not guilty I beg of you.. bury this clown underneath the jail
I agree 100 % with you
No, he is a person of color and he will do no more than five years!! Did you vote for soft on crime Biden???
@Travis Scotty They will re-build it.
@Travis Scotty Tell everyone a little more loudly how this is ALL ABOUT YOU and your extreme psychopathology.
California will have him out in year or so.
14 years to life in prison for arson but let a murder out from jail the next day. Someone was already beat the sh....t out of this dude, you can see the blood came out from his left ear
This guy should be given a low bail, a fair trial, bus passes to travel back and forth across the border, a housing voucher, some food assistance, free medical... Did I miss anything??
and a greeencard with pass to citizenship.
Free cell phone..
Manager position at Lowe's when he gets released
Don’t forget the drivers license
He'll fit perfectly in Biden's administration 🇸🇦
Idiot didn't have to set any fire to cover his shoplifting. My sister worked at a Home Depot for a few months. She said it is ridiculous how easy it was to walk out with tools. Seems Home Depot has a policy forbidding employees from confronting anyone suspected of shoplifting. Just get a description and car tag number if possible, then they will turn all that over along with any video surveillance footage to authorities. If the authorities want to spend time and resources tracking the shoplifter down than fine, if not they just write it off and pass the cost down to customers.
I work at a HD. It’s a good policy. My life isn’t worth a $600 item
Hey, im also a HD associate from that blossom hill store which us 0622, it sucks because the company let's them get away with everything they steal, trust me, I'm disappointed in the company that had a policy of allowing thefts from stealing everything. I lost a good workplace where I first started and to see it get burned by someone which could've been prevented, makes me disappointed in the company 100% this is on the company because of the stupid policy they hae
Most of the time these clowns never have guns or anything big of them most of the time
Yea I feel for your sis I worked outside pushing carts for a couple months and I always seen guys running with stuff in front of me and we can do is watch
Thanks for the info I'm going to have someone take a bbcue grill for me lmao
1 man. Millions in damage. How many employees now out of work? Poisoning the air. All those man hours harvesting, manufacturing, and transporting the resources that burnt up. The damage done far exceeds just a building burnt down. Should be life in prison hard labor
Don't say hard labor, liberals will have a fit.
Lets get Real!! This Fire is truly the fault of the Politicians and the DA and Judges that have tied the hands of law enforcement and letting criminals out with short sentences, early parole or release, or probation, if they have even been arrested. Crime has run rampant and they have allow and supported it. Do away with qualified immunity for the DA Judges, Parole boards and Politicians that make bad laws or shallow sentences. Have them all chargeable as accessories for crimes committed by those they don't lock away, or release or plea bargain back into society.
Agreed, seems they always blame it on others. just like all the high prices of everything these days that was actually planned from 3 decades ago and now they blame it on guess who ! We the people know what they did last summer !
AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!!!!
also the police the hands aren't that tied they refuse to do the work
The hippies disagree
They keep people for stupid stuff, but let out the real criminals.
They laughed when I immediately said "Arson". Why is this person even in our country?
Many Asians are here legally. His parents are most likely citizens
We don't know who is coming over that border. Last I heard it was 106 different countries identified.
@@lovethyneighbor1955 they are expecting 500,000 per month for the next 45 months. Do the math on that one.
@@kirbywaite1586 sit on the border with a machine gun and that number will drop to 0 within 3 weeks.
Hey Gascon and Boudin, pay attention! DA Jeff Rosen is what a competent DA looks like. Prosecuting criminals and holding them accountable is what the job is. Great job SJPD Detectives, SJFD, ATF, etc. I appreciate all of you.
In San Francisco, he'd be slapped with a $40 fine and free to go do whatever people with that face does.
@@mistrjt9213 Maybe. Or the stores would have functioning fire suppression systems, since that whole cesspool would have burned down by now if not.
SF: soft on crime, harder on fires. In fact, all the homeless people are actually a crowd-sourced fire suppression system.
Rosens as corrupt as they come!
Chesa would be like “he brain not work. Free!”
Rosen is an evil joke, thankfully folks like Susan Bassi out him for the POS he and his staff really are.
Curious about the Fire Supression system in the Home Depot, seems like it was useless in the event of a fire...
How was the fire started ? In the first place that’s wild
How did the fire get that big if the sprinkler system was working.
@@Thor2911DM It wasn't working, it was outdated
Fraud
wouldnt have mattered when it has lumber paint batterys inside that place is screwed when this happens water systsems or not
Why would someone want to do something so cruel like that? That is so cruel and so heartless! I'm glad that no one was murdered or hurt in the fire but still, that is horrible and I hope that justice was served
$14 million in damage and risking life in prison to get that Ryobi power tool on sale for $50. Sounds like a good trade.
What an innocent face 😇
You're killing me 😅🤣🤣🤪😸😸
My lord, ikr, lmbo
lol, look like that face should be behind bars that look like a pro-thief that was not a pro that day
*_Hardly_* But his face is what Big John in prison wants to see in the showers. Wanna bet he's also "undocumented"?
he's your kind Vinh lol
What's with the self gloating before the story. You did your jobs, what you are exactly hired to do. Stop making it about you and your co-workers. Insurance will take care of home depot. As far as your inappropriate self gloating, based off your performance and the condition of your city you should be much more humbled.
Elections are coming up, gotta pat your back when you get some real work done. Happy they caught him, hopefully they hold him.
I don't see any need to say all those peoples full names
Yeah, and raise their rates *for everyone in the future.*
Didn't even mention the firefighters at all... wow
If this was in San Francisco he would have been protected by the DA. Let’s hope San Jose sends this guy to jail.
Wow, just walk out with the tools like everyone else, hope the guy is put away for a few decades
LOL, it's California, he's probably out on bail already and the charges will be reduced to misdemeanors.
😂Yeah right he will walk in 6. It's what the people of CA. voted for.
And that's the problem with your BLM society, looting is normalized and led to this.
It always get "progressively" worse.
😂😂😂
It wasn’t his fault. Thieves have a disease.
"Shoplifting is a victimless crime" LOL! Really?! Eligible for parole in 6-9 years? That's a complete joke.
California is a joke. Look who is running that state.
Liberals will push for 6-9 months.
What about environmental damage? There must be additional charges for that in CA.
And what about the 40+ employees that lost their jobs at homedepot, that should be another count?!!!
And the water. Charge him for the water
@@didamnesia3575 he ain't got a pot to pee in
@@joego7924 that's for sure. But it'd be funny to see him having to pay that off
Right!!!
It is an unforgiveable crime. Think back what caused it. IMO, our low or no sentencing from justice system for the past decade showed clear trend of small criminals grow into severe criminals. There is no accountability for these criminals when facing justice. Below $950 damage will not put into jail. This is exactly what happening now.
🤣 California
why is American jails has more people than any country dork
@@samuelaceves7521 tough on crime? Lol, have you been to Singapore or Saudi Arabia?
@@violent_bebop9687 that stupid example, those countries literally allow religion to dictate laws and punishments
don't cherry pick bad examples
well technically he never stole anything from home depot, the employee stopped him, he just burn the joint down.
More border security and a lot of deportation needed.
Lmfao what if he was a white guy?
I work in the fire protection industry. What happened to the automatic fire sprinkler system? Every Home Depot I’ve visited has a complete fire sprinkler system. What happened?
After he serves his sentence, which will probably be 90 days, deport him.
And then millions are expected to cross the border starting May 23rd. Thanks, Illegitimate Joe and Democrat Mafia Party.
He'll just come right back and the democrats will have his back
I’m guessing 60 days, but hopefully you are right.
Lol he’s a citizen get over it.
Deport? They’ll probably let him go without bail.
This is a very suspicious arson seeing how the fire system did nothing, second the san jose fire station is literally 3min away how was this not contained faster.
Do you even know how much flammable stuff is in that store
@@lemontea128 LOL all of it.
Depends on what exactly is burning. If it reaches propane tanks, the paint, or any other of the number of flammable chemicals in that store, it could be out of control in a matter of a few minutes.
The fire was set in the lumber section. All that dry wood burns easily and once one piece of dry wood starts burning, the fire spreads to the rest of the surrounding wood very quickly. A sprinkler system wouldn’t do much to that big of a fire.
That’s not bad 7 years give or take or about 6 weeks with good behavior 🙄 the law is so backwards now a days the thieves no longer afraid.
He's part of Lowe's home improvement center special operations unit.
😅
This man got 5 stars once he lit that fire
And forgot to use the Pay & Spray shop
HE SHOULD GET LIFE IN PRISON
How about the weekly hours lost to employees now. That will cost somebody for lost wages. Probably us with unemployment. I feel sad for the employees also. The dollar amount will just keep increasing when all is said and done.
They were moved to other home depot stores
Had to be terrifying for the houses behind it
Hot enough to be seen from space... damn.
That's one hell of an IR signature!
I actually guarantee you that after this guy gets sentenced he won’t do more than a couple of years before he’s released on parole people will forget about him and only a few people who actually read the small print will keep an eye on him in the future
6 1-2 yr release ,new store should be done by then,he can try again
in Australia, he'd get a pat on the back and ten hours of community service, unless he was carrying weed, then he'll be in jail for ten years
They are gonna prosecute this dude to the FULLEST extent. When you mess with their money. its on.
@40 Life this isn't shoplifting or smash and grab this is total destruction. This is a different animal. They will make an example out of this guy.
More like attempted murder.
But, hey, you doo you.
They literally said that the maximum sentence for the charges they're pressing would be 14 years, and he would be eligible for parole after 6 years.
@@AyayronBalakay 😂 they’re letting everyone free in CA and it’s entertaining af 😆
@@ryanwilhite And I bet he won't even serve that. They'll say he a model prisoner and let him out. He'll go apply at the closest Home Depot!
He just crossed the border he's only been here a few days give him a break
My question is he legal
14yrs and he could be paroled in 6. That's some bullshit laws yall got overthere
Didn't the building have a fire sprinkler system?
Yes, from what I heard. Probably couldn't handle someone coming in and sabotaging the store. The twin towers had a sprinkler system too.
he started the fire in the lumber department, thats why it spread so fast, a sprinkler system cant stop an inferno that large
That riser had to be off.mutiple risers and burned that fast… this is not a ordinary hazard outrun.
@@zeldamenefee5008 the whole point of a sprinkler system is to prevent a fire from getting that large in the first place
@@WeKnowWhatYouDEW read my comment again
I want to see the video of him stealing and setting the fire why can't they show it
Would like to hear about the functionality of the fire suppression system. Could this change building codes for these types of structures?
Not as much the codes as keeping up to the standards of the codes.
Think about all the propane filled cylinders and flammable paint thinners laquer, etc, doubt the sprinkler system could of handled the amount of combustible materials inside a Home Depot.
Depends on where the fire starts. There are so many chemicals and flammable products in there once it gets going the system itself can get damaged.
@@CoCojoy420 *could have. WTF !!!
@@didamnesia3575yes, a place like that.... Heavy fuel load.
What a disgrace. Hate to be his parents.
I'd fucking disown him.
Was in a Home Depot yesterday started looking around and noticed fire hose connections with no hose attached. HOME DEPOT THIS IS ON YOU
No, it's not on Home Depot, its on the guy that started the fire.
That's a face only a mother could love
He could’ve just walked out with whatever he was stealing and not have burn the place down without getting arrested.
Glad they got super lucky and got the arsonist. Arson is still remains the most difficult crime to solve. Thank goodness for no injuries or deaths
He burned down a whole Home Depot!He's going to jail for 40 years.
Anything less than life in prison without parole for the perpetrator is a travesty of justice, many lives were put in danger by this coward. Many people now will be out of a job and unable to support their families because of this coward.
This is why 3 strikes needs to come back.#stop the wrist slapping.
Just seeing that nursery in flames hurts 😥
Wtf was this dude thinking like today I'ma light my local home Depot on fire 👍
Home Depot execs were like “aye homeees, we’ll give you a few thousand if you start this fire and go to prison for it.
“People running for their lives” lmao this guy was as dramatic as the sheep in the back wearing masks 🤡
Same thing happened in South Florida about 10 years ago, someone started a fire in a home depot store next to the Homestead Air Reserve base and they demolished the building the damage was so bad, don't think they ever caught the arsonist.
Life without consideration of parole. Ever.
You don’t dare and mess with Home Depot. That is my first home
Why wasn't there a fire sprinkler system in a building of that size. Most cities require them for this exact reason.
The sprinklers wouldn’t help too greatly, instead it probably would make the fire worse because of certain chemicals burning
You knew I was a snake when you let me in.
Man... think of the plethora of toxic chemicals filling a big box Home Depot store... tons of paints, thinners, varnishes, cleaners, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers... not to mention normally safe products that would become toxic when burned... carpet and other flooring, treated lumber, all kinds of products made from plastics and who knows what else... all filling the air at once and being spread for miles around for all to breathe. I'd be curious if the incidence of cancer and other diseases went up in the area after this fire.
This case is very interesting. In Homestead FL we had a New Home Depot that burn down also. This was about 5 years ago. They never built back that store. I am going to ck out why.
I'm Sorry but where were the water sprinklers in this store. Every Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, Bass Pro, Cabela's, Big R where I live has a water sprinkler system to stop tragedies like this from happening. The water sprinkler system is one of the best forms of Safety measures that City's demand store owners to comply with for safety, due to materials and combustible materials in the store that may be a fire hazard. It appears that this store showed disregard to employees or it's consumers lacking in safety. If California would start arresting people, instead of allowing thieves to take whatever they want, with absolutely no recourse. But when they are arrested, it's a revolving door policy. This is why Liberal California is behind the 8 ball.
THAT CHINESE DUDE IS PSSED OFF!!! NO MORE RICE!!!B@#$!..😂😂😂😂
And I used to live there years ago and go to that store. At least there were no injuries/deaths.
is that punk even worth 14$ ? burning down 14mil putting peoples lives at risk
From the description of this suspect, he is a long time career thief, vandal and just plain reprobate. I suspect there is next to no chance he will ever be anyone but this character of a person. It’s sad. And the tons of people posting here blaming Home Depot for his behavior and excusing it for what ever flawed reason they have.
If I was a father and my kid did that kind of s***, so help me God I'd disown the little piece of shit.
Newsome will have him back on the streets in a week.
He could’ve just canceled his home deposit account, no need to burn a store wow
it was a distraction to get out with the tools.. I bet you money he didnt want to burn the store down.
Thinking too of those employees who are now out of job's because of the act's of one selfish fool. Amazing how the law was able to find and catch him. Now it's the justice system turn to put him away for a long while, hopefully they don't show any lenacy or dereliction of justice.
Since there were minor injuries involved, those should also be added to his list of charges.
I hope these government officials don't strain themselves patting themselves on the back. Oh yeah, fire department... You failed big time. There are four fire departments all less than 10 minutes away from this location. One is only 4 minutes away.
Dude, please go easy on San Jose's bravest. The problem is when a place like that catches fire it's already pretty much a lost cause, because of how heavy the fuel load is. Now granted I'm not with my city's fire department, but I can figure that that place had a heavy fuel load. May our lord Jesus be thanked on bended knee that there was no loss of life, human in the case of home Depot, and feline or canine or otherwise in the nearby animal hospital.
A whole home depot????? 💀 .... he literally made over 100 people jobless
Man was playing real life GTA
How much damage does this result in? Probably tens of millions, I guess.
2:55 14 millions inventory alone plus building and nearby structures.
Oh my god, you are talking tens of millions of dollars. Let's not forget that the average Home Depot makes over $49 million per year. I used to work at a really busy one several years back. How long will it take them to rebuild, if they decide to? One year? 2 years? The loss in revenue alone will put this guy away for decades. The fact that he put people's lives in danger, over a decade and then there is the financial cost to the employees themselves; due to the fact that they are no longer employed by the company -they will either have to transfer to new stores or try to find a job elsewhere which will cost them more time and more money. This guy is a total a******.
Hi , 14 years to life ? $14 million in damages.
Enjoy San Quin 👋
Dude's facial expression looks like he's thinking, huum, do you smell smoke?
25 years to life should be the minimum. Imagine all the chemicals from the products that were inside that were released into the air and into people's lungs?
And onto the land
MAXIMUM PENALTY
@4:18 That person some some drone skills dodging those trees and house
That is one heard core thief start a fire as a distraction wow, good that no one was injured in that huge fire
The arsonist should spend the rest of his life in jail. He should not get parole.
He was just trying to get tools to make money to care for his kids ,
Good job 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Incidents or theft are up everywhere. The needs of the poorest people are not being met. If people have secure housing situations and enough food and available education to engage the mind in a healthy way then theft as a strategy to meet their needs will not be necessary.
I'd be hard pressed to think that it wasn't severe enough to get an attempted homicide or something it was surprising that people did not die. I'm not trying to take away from everybody that didn't do a great job getting everybody out and that's why they survived with no deaths but at the same time we're all human so it could have easily have been a few deaths even with your best efforts
They have to prove intent behind each charge
These officials should do it like the movies and put the credits at the end.
