More left-wing terrorism.
Federal prosecutors on Wednesday announced that 29-year-old Jonathan Rinderknecht of Orlando, Florida, was arrested for intentionally setting the Palisades fire.
Rinderknecht was an Uber driver at the time he intentionally set the fire.
Earlier this year in January, fires exploded in Los Angeles after LA Mayor Karen Bass cut firefighting funds.

According to FEC records, Rinderknecht donated to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2020.
The New York Post reported:
The Uber driver accused of sparking the most destructive wildfire in Los Angeles history chipped in a small donation to Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign, records revealed.
Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, shelled out $2 to hybrid PAC ActBlue on two separate occasions just days apart in 2020 – $1 on Sept. 4 and another buck on Sept. 11, according to the Federal Election Commission.
Records also show the alleged Palisades Fire arsonist — born in France — was registered to vote in Florida, though he never declared a political party.
Per Fox News reporter Matt Finn: Jonathan Rinderknecht asked Chat GPT last July to create this “dystopian” image that shows a forest burning on the left and people running from it. In the middle, people in “poverty.” On the right, the rich watching the world burn.
