Henry Winkler’s theory gains attraction as arsonists behind LA wildfires are caught on camera

Henry Winkler’s theory that an arsonist has been behind the devastating LA wildfires caught the attention of many.

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.

It was on January 8, 2025, that the actor, best known as The Fonz from Happy Days, wrote on X, “There is an ARSONIST here in LA. May you be beaten unrecognizable!!! The pain you have caused!!!”

His post has been seen by over 2 million people.

At the time, the LAPD stated, “There’s no way to know at this moment exactly where and how the series of fires started, but an investigation is underway.”

While there were those who dubber Henry Winkler’s theory as a simple “rumbling,” the footage that was released later on showed he might be correct.

“People are lighting fires in otherwise non-burning urban areas of LA,” the viral clip that surpassed Winkler’s tweet with more than 6.5 million views combined, was captioned.

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.

“Stay safe and call in any activity ASAP. We don’t need more flames out here,”a retweet wrote.

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

“Disgusting. It feels like LA is under attack right now. Fires are everywhere. Stay safe!” someone wrote.

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

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

As per Fox Newsthe 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.

They detained the man until police arrived at the scene.

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

“Arrest them all now,” someone wrote. “This feels like a third-world country.”

“Did you get the name of the person you saw lighting the fire? We need to know!” another asked.

“I can’t believe this!” someone else added. “This is so evil.”

“What’s with these arsonists? What are they trying to achieve?” a person asked.

“More than 99% chance there are bad actors going around taking advantage of the chaos.”
