We’re learning more about what motivated the arsonist who lit the deadly fire in Pacific Palisades, California. Prosecutors revealed in their latest court filings that Jonathan Rinderknecht was obsessed with Luigi Mangione—the cowardly assassin who murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4, 2024.
 
In the days before he ignited the Palisades fire that killed 12 people in January 2025, Rinderknecht went online and searched the phrases “free Luigi Mangione,” “let’s take down all the billionaires” and “reddit let’s kill all the billionaires.” 
 
Court records show that Rinderknecht told investigators that he set the fire “out of resentment of the rich enjoying their money as ‘we’re basically being enslaved by them.’” 
 
That’s the same rhetoric we hear virtually every day from leading Democrats. Bernie Sanders said, “Billionaires should not exist.”
 
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, “The ascent of billionaires is a symptom & outcome of an immoral system that tells people affordable insulin is impossible but exploitation is fine.”
 
It’s this kind of dangerous Marxist rhetoric that results in half of self-identified “left-leaning” individuals saying that murdering Donald Trump and Elon Musk would be justified.
 
By the way, the FBI just arrested a Democrat Senate candidate for threatening to kill President Trump. He left a voicemail message for a member of Congress demanding that we “redistribute the wealth” before all the billionaires and their family members get their throats slit.
 
When he gets out of jail, Democrats will give him a job as a speechwriter!
 
It’s the same with the transgender issue. Democrats and trans activists accuse conservatives and Christians of denying children “life-saving” health care. We’re accused of being bigots for trying to prevent someone from living as their “authentic self.” Some trans activists even accuse us of “genocide.”
 
The trans-obsessed assassin who killed Charlie Kirk etched on one bullet, “Hey, fascist! Catch!” Democrats regularly call President Trump “Hitler” and Republicans “fascists” and “Nazis.” What does preventing the mutilation of children have to do with fascism?
 
To the Democrats, every leading Republican, every conservative leader, every Trump appointee is a Nazi. The only guy who isn’t a Nazi is the Democrat Senate candidate in Maine, who has a Nazi tattoo. Who knew that the best way to prevent the Democrats from attacking someone as a Nazi was to get a Nazi tattoo?
