Прокуроры заявили об одержимости подозреваемого в поджоге Палисайд Луиджи Манджоне и ненависти к богатым
Прокуратура представила новые материалы дела против Джонатана Риндеркнехта, обвиняемого в поджоге, который привел к катастрофическому пожару в Палисайдс. По данным следствия, перед совершением преступления мужчина был «одержим» Луиджи Манджоне — подозреваемом в убийстве генерального директора UnitedHealthcare Брайана Томпсона. В судебном меморандуме утверждается, что Риндерккехт испытывал растущую агрессию к обществу и богатству. В декабре 2024 года он искал в интернете фразы «освободите Луиджи Манджоне» и призывы к уничтожению миллиардеров. Пассажиры его автомобиля Uber также описывали его как крайне раздраженного человека, который во время поездок разглагольствовал о капитализме и насилии.Следствие установило, что мотивом поджога могла стать «ненависть к богатым». При допросе Риндеркнехт сравнил свой поступок с убийством Манджоне, назвав это проявлением «отчаяния». Помимо политических и социальных взглядов, обвинение указывает на личную нестабильность: мужчина испытывал сильный стресс из-за разрыва отношений с бывшей коллегой. После того как Риндеркнехт предположительно спровоцировал возгорание в районе Скулл-Рок, он позвонил по номеру 911 и задал вопрос нейросети ChatGPT о том, несет ли человек ответственность за пожар, вызванный сигаретой. Хотя первичный очаг возгорания был ликвидирован, из-за сильного ветра тлеющие угли раздуло, что привело к масштабному пожару в Палисайдс, унесшему жизни 12 человек. Риндеркнехту предъявлены обвинения в уничтожении имущества путем поджога и других связанных с огнем преступлениях. Защита Манджоне уже выступила с заявлением, назвав попытки связать его с действиями Риндеркнехта безответными и предвзятыми.
Palisades Fire suspect was allegedly 'fixated' on Luigi Mangione and held 'resentment of the rich': court docs
The man accused of setting off the New Year's Day fire that led to the deadly Palisades inferno was apparently "fixated" with Luigi Mangione and held a "resentment of the rich," according to prosecutors.Jonathan Rinderknecht was arrested in October 2025 and charged with destruction of property by means of fire and pleaded not guilty after being charged in connection to the Palisades Fire in January 2025. In a new trial memorandum, prosecutors said Rinderknecht was apparently obsessed with Mangione, who is accused of assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson."In the months leading up to the fire, he had become increasingly angry with his life and society at large," prosecutors wrote. "For example, in the weeks and hours leading up to the fire, defendant fixated on Luigi Mangione, who allegedly murdered the UnitedHealthcare CEO in New York City on December 4, 2024."Rinderknecht searched the terms "free LuigiMangione," "lets take down all the billionaires" and "reddit lets kill all the billionaires" on Dec. 12 and 13, 2024, federal prosecutors said.LUIGI MANGIONE ASSASSINATION CASE SIGNALS DOJ SHIFT ON DEATH PENALTY IN BLUE STATES, EXPERT SAYSOn Jan. 3, 2025, Rinderknecht allegedly took a screenshot of an article about Mangione pleading not guilty."Many of defendant’s Uber passengers on December 31, 2024 and January 1, 2025, described defendant as angry, intense, driving erratically, and ranting about being 'pissed off at the world' and Luigi Mangione, capitalism, and vigilantism," prosecutors wrote in a court filing.SEND US A TIP HEREWhen investigators asked Rinderknecht on Jan. 24, 2025 why someone might commit arson in the Pacific Palisades, he allegedly responded it would be out of resentment and invoked Mangione.UNITEDHEALTHCARE CEO MURDER: IVY LEAGUE GRAD SUSPECT SPAWNS MOVEMENT FUELED BY ANTI-CAPITALIST SENTIMENT"When investigators asked defendant why someone might commit arson in the Pacific Palisades, he responded that it would be out of resentment of the rich enjoying their money as 'we’re basically being enslaved by them' and compared such an act of 'desperation' to the murder for which Mangione was charged," prosecutors wrote.LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCASTFox News Digital reached out to Rinderknecht's attorney for comment.Mangione's attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, told Fox News Digital in a statement: "As we have stated before in multiple public court filings, Mr. Mangione does not support violent actions and does not condone past or future political violence. These repeated attempts to connect him to unrelated acts or to insinuate that he condones or supports these acts are irresponsible, dangerous and prejudicial."Before Rinderknecht allegedly started the fire that served as the precursor to the Palisades Fire, prosecutors said in the memo that he "exhibited extreme anger, indignation, and frustration about being unable to find companionship on New Year’s Eve."Specifically, prosecutors alleged, Rinderknecht was frustrated about his relationship with a former co-worker he briefly dated in March 2024. When the former co-worker requested space from him on Dec. 30, 2024, Rinderknecht "left her two manic voicemails and entered prompts into ChatGPT expressing his extreme displeasure of her treatment of him," prosecutors said.PALISADES FIRE SUSPECT HELD WITHOUT BONDFederal authorities said Rinderknecht worked as an Uber driver in Los Angeles from New Year's Eve 2024 to New Year's Day 2025, adding that two of his passengers expressed that "he appeared agitated and angry that night after dropping off a passenger in Pacific Palisades."After allegedly sparking the fire after parking at the Skull Rock trailhead, Rinderknecht called 911, then asked ChatGPT, "Are you at fault if a fire is lift [sic] because of your cigarettes?"ChatGPT, according to the complaint, responded with "Yes," and explained.While prosecutors allege that Rinderknecht sparked the Lachman Fire, which was put out Jan. 2, heavy winds reignited underground embers, which sparked the Palisades Fire. In total, the Palisades Fire claimed the lives of 12 people and left many displaced.Rinderknecht has been charged with destruction of property by means of fire, arson affecting property used in interstate commerce and timber set afire.

— In global discourse, a script has been handed to us: the United States and China are locked in a “tech race”. But this is really a misnomer. True competition requires a level playing field.

It is an act of suppression.This reflects a deliberate...
