Disgusting’ Arsonists Spark LA Wildfires – Henry Winkler’s Shocking Theory!
|The wildfires in Los Angeles have left people devastated and angry, with many searching for answers and those responsible for the destruction. Actor Henry Winkler, famous for playing “The Fonz” on Happy Days, stepped in to share his thoughts. He believes the fires were started by arsonists, and his comments sparked a heated conversation on social media.
Winkler’s tweet, where he expressed his anger, quickly gained attention. “There is an ARSONIST here in LA. May you be beaten unrecognizable!!! The pain you have caused!!!” he wrote, which received more than 1.9 million views. People responded to his post with divided opinions, some agreeing with him and others dismissing his theory as just the thoughts of an older man. But a video released soon after seemed to support Winkler’s claim.
The video showed people setting fires in areas of Santa Monica that were not already on fire. The clip, which quickly went viral, showed the flames growing and threatening nearby trees. It had more than 6.5 million views and helped show that there may be more to these fires than natural causes. “People are lighting fires in otherwise non-burning urban areas of LA,” the video caption said.
Many people were shocked by the footage. “Disgusting. It feels like LA is under attack right now. Fires are everywhere. Stay safe!” one user commented. The fires have already caused massive damage, destroying over 1,100 homes and forcing more than 100,000 people to flee.
The fires started on January 7, 2025, fueled by high winds and dry conditions. They have killed about five people and left many more injured. The flames have been described as “devastating and terrifying” by officials.
The wildfires have affected five areas in LA: Palisades, Eaton, Hurst, Sunset, and Lidia. The biggest ones, Palisades and Eaton, have destroyed over 27,000 acres of land as of January 9, 2025. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection called the Palisades fire the “most destructive” in LA’s history.
Over 100,000 people had to evacuate, leaving their homes and belongings behind as the fires advanced. Many officials say that the wildfires were caused by “weather whiplash,” with the combination of dry conditions and strong winds contributing to the flames spreading quickly.
The cost of these wildfires could be over $10 billion, according to J.P. Morgan’s insurance analysts. This would make it one of the most expensive natural disasters in California, similar to the 2018 Camp Fire, which cost $15 billion.
The National Weather Service explained that California has been going through “weather whiplash,” where the state alternates between drought and heavy rainfall. Fast winds spread the flames even more, making it hard for firefighters to control the fire.
Red flag warnings are in place until at least January 10, 2025, and Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone has urged residents to focus on their safety. The police and fire department are working hard to handle the situation, but officials haven’t released any further information about the arsonists or their motives.
People on social media reacted strongly to the video of the arsonists. “Arrest them all now,” one user said. Another asked, “Did you get the name of the person you saw lighting the fire? We need to know!” Others were shocked and expressed their disbelief. One comment read, “I can’t believe this! My heart is broken. This is so evil.”
Many wondered what the arsonists were hoping to achieve by setting these fires. “What are they trying to do?” one user asked. It seems many people took advantage of the chaos to make things even worse.
