Henry Winkler’s Theory on LA Wildfires Sparks Public Debate
Henry Winkler, famously known for his role as The Fonz on Happy Days, recently caused a stir online with his theory about the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. On January 8, 2025, the actor took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to share his suspicion, writing: “There is an ARSONIST here in LA. May you be beaten unrecognizable!!! The pain you have caused!!!” His post quickly went viral, amassing over 2 million views.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) responded by stating, “There’s no way to know at this moment exactly where and how the series of fires started, but an investigation is underway.” While some dismissed Winkler’s claim as speculation, subsequent events and video evidence have lent credibility to his theory.
Disturbing Evidence Emerges
A viral video clip, surpassing Winkler’s post with more than 6.5 million combined views, showed individuals in Santa Monica, California, throwing flammable objects into an existing blaze. The video’s caption read: “People are lighting fires in otherwise non-burning urban areas of LA.” Shocked onlookers witnessed the flames rapidly spread to nearby trees, intensifying the already catastrophic situation.
The footage prompted an outpouring of concern on social media. One user retweeted the video, urging, “Stay safe and call in any activity ASAP. We don’t need more flames out here.” Another expressed frustration, writing, “Disgusting. It feels like LA is under attack right now. Fires are everywhere. Stay safe!”
Lives and Property Devastated
The fires have caused immense destruction, with thousands of homes, businesses, and landmarks reduced to ashes. Reports confirm a death toll of 24. In a significant development, police arrested a suspect in connection with the wildfires. According to Fox News, the arrest occurred on Thursday around 4:30 p.m. near Arcos Drive and Galendo Street. Local residents reportedly spotted a man on a bicycle carrying a torch and attempting to ignite old Christmas trees and garbage cans. Courageously, they intervened, detaining him with zip ties until authorities arrived.
Outrage and Calls for Justice
The emergence of videos showing intentional acts of arson has sparked widespread outrage. Social media users are demanding swift justice. “Arrest them all now,” one person wrote, while another added, “This feels like a third-world country.” Some questioned the motives behind these acts, asking, “What’s with these arsonists? What are they trying to achieve?” Others speculated that bad actors might be exploiting the chaos, with one user asserting, “More than 99% chance there are bad actors going around taking advantage of the chaos.”
The Truth Behind Winkler’s Claims
As investigations continue, the disturbing footage and public reaction appear to validate Winkler’s concerns about arsonists playing a role in the fires. His outspoken remarks have drawn attention to the issue, encouraging vigilance and calls for accountability.
