Fox News host Tucker Carlson was right when he likened climate change to ‘systematic racism in the sky’.

Four Arrested for Arson on the West Coast, One a ‘Regular Attendee’ of Anti-Cop Rallies in Seattle

By: Hannah Bleau, Breitbart, 12 Sep 20203,793

Four individuals — two in Washington, one in Oregon, and another in California — have been arrested for arson as firefighters battle dozens of blazes across the West Coast.

One of the arrestees is reportedly a “regular attendee” of anti-police rallies in Seattle.

Michael Jarrod Bakkela, 41, has been accused of arson, partially sparking the massive Almeda fire, according to the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office. Oregon Live reported that he has been arrested on “two counts of arson, 15 counts of criminal mischief and 14 counts of reckless endangerment”:

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release Friday afternoon that on Tuesday evening, a resident of Phoenix saw a person, later identified as Bakkela, lighting a fire behind their house on Quail Lane. Because there was an impending blaze, the residents who saw him set the fire had to flee their home.

Bakkela was arrested and initially lodged in the Jackson County Jail on Tuesday on a charge of possession of methamphetamine. He remains in jail on the arson and criminal mischief charges.

The Almeda fire has destroyed at least 700 homes and resulted in at least two fatalities.

Elsewhere, authorities arrested two individuals in connection with the fires in Washington. One of the suspects, Jeffrey Alan Acord, has been accused of setting a fire along Highway 167. He live-streamed himself on the scene of the fire and reported it to police, claiming that he “literally pulled over to call it in.”

“Other drivers, however, told police they watched the 36-year-old Puyallup man walk into a field carrying a lighter and cardboard,” KIRO 7 reported.

The outlet added that Acord is a “regular attendee at Seattle ‘defund police’ rallies.” He is also facing charges for allegedly breaking into a gas station.

Jacob Altona, 28, has also been arrested in connection to arson.

Additionally, Anita Esquivel, 37, has been arrested for deliberately setting fires in California, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The news comes as Democrat politicians continue to blame the fires across the region on climate change. Politicians, such as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), are largely using the devastation to push for a Green New Deal but continue to ignore the reality of poor forest management and environmentalist policies that contribute to the massive wildfires, such as putting an emphasis on “fire suppression” rather than prescribed burning.

Despite that, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has used the tragedy to declare the debate around climate change over for good.

“The debate is over around climate change. Just come to the state of California, observe it with your own eyes,” Newsom said with a grin. “It’s not an intellectual debate, it’s not even debatable”:

On Saturday, the National Interagency Fire Center reported that 97 fires have burned 4.7 million acres across the west.

“More than 29,000 firefighters and support personnel are assigned to wildfires. Evacuation orders are in place for 40 large fires in California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Idaho, and Utah,” the agency reported.

The State Forestry here in Oregon have called ALL of these fires “human caused.” NONE of them are “climate change” or weather related. About 1,000 homes have burned to the ground, Almost 100 deaths, Many small businesses, it is TRULY TERRORISM! done by well organized and carried out by Antifa and BLM. Frankly, I believe if they’re seen starting fires, they should be shot on sight. More than 1 million acres have burned so far and still going. Most of the fires boundaries are contained, but far from being out. We’re choking on smoke here and visibility is less than 1/4 mile.

Female psychopath. Most psychopaths are males. This female has the lax facial posture, the dominant stare, the gratuitous hostility, that signifies a psychopath. They enjoy causing suffering in others, and the more the better. So they would like starting wild fires, especially in inhabited areas.

And when an arsonist sets a fire, it’s all Trumps fault. Come on man!
Our Gov (idiot/inslee) is blaming the choking smog on Climate Change and Trump…never mind that our summer temp has been running 6 degrees below normal and our tomato crop was skimpy because of it. Thanks for the meme…will share with friends.

Mostly Peaceful Arson Totally Unrelated to ANTIFA or BLM …

… because there are no planned or organized riots …

… no Plandemic with Dempanic lockdowns …

… and no such thing as copy cats …

… or psychotics who might be incited to arson due to the MSM spewing Natzee-level hate, lies and propaganda 24/7 …

We know this Bravo Sierra is true boys and girls …

… because the FBI said so before they even bothered to investigate.

Someone (hint, hint) needs to fire Wray and Drain the Swamp …

*** Everyone here at Geller have an excellent week!

Gov. Newsome can always respond to these arrests by saying climate change drove these innocent dears with no real life to set those fires. They will call it Trump’s fault for opposing their ridiculous Green New Deal.

Excellent comment …

… AGW is a Big Lie, but the Green Old Lie Deal is a real whopper.

… Even if AGW were real, and even if we could spin electricity out of straw – much less wind or solar

… taking mountains of cash and giving it to crony oligarchs who hate our guts and live to sow violence and destruction will never fix the problem.

When have Demokkkrats fixed anything? They’re great at “fixing” things that are not broken – at creating destruction and crime and violence and then manufacturing lies to blame their victims or their future victims. But they could not and would not do anything positive or useful correctly … even if the ghosts of Marx, Darwin, and Woodrow Wilson showed up to endorse it …

*** You and yours have a wonderful weekend, MW!

Right this minute I can’t remember which EU bureaucrat came right with the truth about the true agenda of their “man made climate change” hoax just a couple of years ago, during the East Anglia email scandal where the leaked the fact that data was being intentionally skewed to reflect what Al Gore and other climate change profiteers want the masses to believe. She said the purpose was global re-distribution of wealth and so it didn’t really matter if it was true or not. We are solar sprayed everyday and often at night. They are the ones changing the climate and poisoning our soil and water with metals and substances such as aluminum that are toxic to your brain and nervous system, and also make the land much more flammable and ready to be ignited. California was sprayed for years to help make it burn more quickly and with much greater damage than even what the Santa Ana winds provided annually on the many dry brush laden grounds. And Americans are silent, or worse yet, accuse you of being a conspiracy theorist. I see it everyday. There is a conspiracy alright. It is against us. When you are allowing the same people and institutions that want 90% of the world’s population dead you should expect bad results for your life. Duh.

Newsom …. the Perfect Dildo.
If you see someone lighting a fire in an attempt to start a wildfire – deal with them, permanently.
It is NOT ‘climate change’, I grew up in CA back in the 50s & 60s ….. fires happen in the normal course of things … especially since all of the ‘environmental protection’ legislation actually promotes the occurrence of fires ….. making them burn hotter and harder to control.
Newsom is an IDIOT and a Traitor to his SWORN OATH to uphold the Constitution – the penalty for Treason is Death, preferably by hanging.

Gavin Newsome probably the most useless governor in the history of California. It truly amazes me how idiots, like him, can say with a straight face that the debate is over. They actually have ZERO proof any of this is caused by man, other than the arsonists that is. Climate change has always occurred and always will, well at least until the sun burns out. Then climate change will happen very rapidly…lol.

I am sure setting these fires is part of the attempt to sew complete and total confusion and mass hysteria in order to get people to lose confidence in our country and what it stands for. In other words get people to vote for the very people that have caused this crap to begin with by not allowing forest management.
