Henry Winkler\u2019s theory that an arsonist has been behind the devastating LA wildfires caught the attention of many.\n\n\n\n

Amid the grief and rage felt by those who lost everything in the fires, they are looking for answers and seeking justice by those responsible for the catastrophic destruction.\n\n\n\n

It was on January 8, 2025, that the actor, best known as\u00a0The Fonz\u00a0from\u00a0Happy Days,\u00a0wrote on\u00a0X,\u00a0\u201cThere is an ARSONIST here in LA. May you be beaten unrecognizable!!! The pain you have caused!!!\u201d\n\n\n\n

His post has been seen by over 2 million people.\n\n\n\n

At the time, the LAPD stated, \u201cThere\u2019s no way to know at this moment exactly where and how the series of fires started, but an investigation is underway.\u201d\n\n\n\n

While there were those who dubber Henry Winkler\u2019s theory as a simple \u201crumbling,\u201d the footage that was released later on showed he might be correct.\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople are lighting fires in otherwise non-burning urban areas of LA,\u201d the viral clip that surpassed Winkler\u2019s tweet with more than 6.5 million views combined, was captioned.\n\n\n\n

The video shows several people throwing flammable objects into a massive fire in Santa Monica, California, while onlookers watch in shock as the flames intensify and threaten nearby trees.\n\n\n\n

\u201cStay safe and call in any activity ASAP. We don\u2019t need more flames out here,\u201da retweet wrote.\n\n\n\n

Sadly, certain citizens decided to add to the catastrophe with their actions.\n\n\n\n

\u201cDisgusting. It feels like LA is under attack right now. Fires are everywhere. Stay safe!\u201d someone wrote.\n\n\n\n

Thousands of homes, businesses, and landmarks have been destroyed, and according to reports, the death toll is 24.\u00a0\n\n\n\n

The police reported that a suspect has been arrested in connection to the wildfires, but his identity has not been revealed. \n\n\n\n

As per Fox News, the arrest happened around 4:30 p.m. Thursday, near the area of Arcos Drive and Galendo Street. The residents in the area witnessed a man on a bicycle carrying a torch and trying to lit old Christmas trees and garbage cans on fire. Luckily, they managed to stop him and even zip-tie him.\n\n\n\n

They detained the man until police arrived at the scene.\n\n\n\n

Netizens reacted with outrage to the videos of arsonists creating additional chaos, demanding their swift prosecution.\n\n\n\n

\u201cArrest them all now,\u201d someone wrote. \u201cThis feels like a third-world country.\u201d\n\n\n\n

\u201cDid you get the name of the person you saw lighting the fire? We need to know!\u201d\u00a0another asked.\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe this!\u201d someone else added. \u201cThis is so evil.\u201d\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s with these arsonists? What are they trying to achieve?\u201d a person asked.\n\n\n\n

\u201cMore than 99% chance there are bad actors going around taking advantage of the chaos.\u201d\n\n\n\n
