Authorities still searching for motive.
Will these mysteries never end? We bring people who hate us from countries that hate us into this country. And then they mysteriously cause havoc and devastation for utterly inexplicable reasons.
Chamel Abdulkarim, a 29-year-old resident of Highland, was being held without bail after being booked on multiple felony counts, the Ontario Police Department said.
The inferno, which erupted around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, destroyed the 1.2-million-square-foot warehouse and paper products inside that were worth $500 million.
“Arson to me is a real head-scratcher,” San Bernardino County District Attorney Jason Anderson said.” I do not understand somebody who is suspected of arson does something where they get no value out of it, other than to displace people from their jobs, to ruin commerce, to get in the way of labor, to put people in physical harm. We want to be certain at least for our residents, as sensitive as we are to arson in this county, particularly in Southern California, that these crimes are taken very, very serious.”
Lots of these real headscratchers here. We’ll probably never figure them out. Why would someone just want to cause lots of damage to us? It’s almost like they really, really hate us. But that’s impossible.
So it’s just going to be a mystery.
