Henry Winkler\u2019s theory that an arsonist has been behind the devastating LA wildfires caught the attention of many.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

It was on January 8, 2025, that the actor, best known as\u00a0The Fonz<\/em>\u00a0from\u00a0Happy Days,\u00a0<\/em>wrote on\u00a0X,\u00a0<\/em>\u201cThere is an ARSONIST here in LA. May you be beaten unrecognizable!!! The pain you have caused!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

His post has been seen by over 2 million people.<\/h2>\n

At the time, the LAPD stated, \u201cThere\u2019s no way to know at this moment exactly where and how the series of fires started, but an investigation is underway.\u201d<\/p>\n

While there were those who dubber Henry Winkler\u2019s theory as a simple \u201crumbling,\u201d the footage that was released later on showed he might be correct.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are lighting fires in otherwise non-burning urban areas of LA,\u201d\u00a0the viral clip that surpassed Winkler\u2019s\u00a0tweet<\/a>\u00a0with more than 6.5 million views combined, was captioned.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
