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
