A 42-year-old Sylmar man was charged with arson Tuesday in connection with a fire at Pizzeria Mozza in Hancock Park

A 42-year-old Sylmar man was indicted on federal arson charges Tuesday in connection with setting fire to the building that houses Pizzeria Mozza in late May, as unrest gripped Los Angeles and some protests were marred by vandalism and thefts.

The incident occurred during the second of several nights of widespread protests against police brutality across the city that followed the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. On May 30, protests in the Fairfax district devolved into altercations between officers, peaceful demonstrators and others who vandalized businesses and set fire to police cars.

During George Floyd *riots*

They let that animal Mario Ernesto Alvarado out on a $25K bond? He's up for a 20-year bid. Bail Reform - great idea. Hopefully he goes and burns the judge's house down before he flees to Mexico.

hopefully this is the first of many.. rioting POS's

JamesQueallyLAT We can charge ppl with arson 4 starting a fire, but we don't charge cops with murder, 4 killing innocent black ppl

Thank you for reporting actual objective news.

That’s almost as bad as the police killing over 1,000 people per year. Imagine being imprisoned by a gang of murderers for committing a crime by which not a single person was killed—the audacity. Maybe we should GoFund his bail for helping bring this issue to light (no pun int.).

Are businesses set on fire normally during peaceful protests? I mean it’s ok to say it was burnt to the ground by rioters and looters at least then we could take you somewhat serious as a newspaper
