That's because the person detained is just a person of interest,
no charges have been filed yet.

But 55 arsons?! That's just terrible! 8O
What can make a person go to that level to commit that many arsons?!

A Nazi German seems like a better responce to his crime, starting fires, doing damage, and trying to kill people, probably setting up something that Obama is trying to do to us.

Once people have nothing left to lose, the lose it.

it has nothing to do with national origin, race or etc.

actually it has something to do with his mother who was living with him was convicted of fraud and was sent back to Germany...in the courtroom at hearing the conviction and what they doing about it, he told them off in a stream of "%$#%^**&^^%$#*&%#^ &^^%&*&^%$$#$%^&**((*&^^%%$#@#$#%$#%! !"
including "f%k the United States". A day or so later, the arsons began. His picture was caught on a suveilance camera during an arson.
Most of them happened close to his apt.

no nazi...just a pissed off mamma's boy.

Breaking news: Suspect named and to be arraigned (Link to KABC Article).

Quote:
HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- New details were released on Tuesday about the man suspected of setting more than 50 suspicious fires in the Hollywood area. Harry Burkhart, 24, was held without bail and was scheduled for arraignment in court Wednesday morning...

More to come, I'm sure.

This was close to where I live. The fire trucks were all over town New Years Eve.

I expected the culprit to be someone that just did it for the fun of it though. If you actually want to send a message that you hate America, why not be a little more deliberate with your targets, rather than setting fire to random apartment dwellers' cars? Those people probably have as little to do with what you hate about American culture/the justice system as you do.
