About four years ago there were several fires here in SB and also a few in San Diego. SD had more homes/lives lost than we did. One guy was caught in Riverside on suspicion of setting multiple blazes elsewhere. With a vehicle and person description the arsonist for the two big fires has yet to be caught.
How could the guy be an "arson suspect" if there was no arson
Here we are four years later and we have fires in SD and SB again. This time, million dollar homes and many more lives have been lost. People are out and watching more this time, with at least three (that I know of) arson suspects being arrest since Monday.
I live a few block from Cal State SB and there is next to NOTHING behind that campus but the national forest and dry brush. There is no plausible reason to be hanging out in the tall sagebrush right off the road with a working car and no dirt bike. The parking lots are HUGE, and the road mildly traveled. Campus police were alerted to this guy, S.O. showed and so the tragedy began. With the SO being responsible for 2 of the 3 prior arson arrests, I'm sure taking him alive would have proven invaluable and looked mighty impressive.
The sweeping fires raging here and SD are the work of MANY arsonists. Shoot, one fire deemed NOT arson, was an "accident" coming from a car set on fire to cover up a crime!
Repeat NOT ARSON!
Once two large fires were going on Monday, the rest of the cockroaches came out of the wood work setting more
Personally, if I was a dirty cop, scared poopless, I'd plant a gun AND gas on this dead arson suspect. Nothing like a cop losing the meal ticket every person living in CA
NEEDS to just stay living in CA.
