Immigrant Arson Suspect Apparently German — Says "I Hate America"

01/03/2012

The immigrant arrested in connection with 55 (!) arson fire in Los Angeles is named Harry Burkhart. I wondered yesterday if he was a Turk or North African living in Germany, rather than a regular German, because burning cars is a regular thing with Muslims in Europe.

Actually, he turns out to be a white guy with a pony tail. LA Weekly has some interesting facts and leaks:

The man who terrorized L.A. for three nights with a series of 53 arson fires turned out to be a 24-year-old from Germany identified as Harry Burkhart, at least according to authorities.

"I hate America" were the words he reportedly uttered after he was pulled out of his car during a traffic stop at Sunset Boulevard near Fairfax Avenue shortly after 3 this morning following another outbreak of fires in nearby West Hollywood.

Facts and or leaks from the LA Weekly story:

Suspect was driving a minivan with Canadian license plates
"The Los Angeles Times reported today that Burkhart might have been angered over the deportation of a relative, subsequently said to be his mother, only a week ago."
"The Los Angeles Times reports that it appears a U.S. State Department source pointed to Burkhart after he unleashed an anti-American tirade in U.S. immigration court recently, apparently in reaction to his mother’s reported deportation: A government official recognized him as resembling the man in the Hollywood+Highland surveillance video and alerted local authorities."
"The Times reported Burkhart had "travel papers" from Chechnya even though he’s a German national."
Suspect lived with his mother — neighbors told a radio station that the mother had said that " that her son wasn’t all right in the head."
