Police say the attack was not random and that the suspect and victims knew each other.

Two homeless men suffered minor burns during an attack at a Thousand Oaks encampment Tuesday afternoon, according to authorities.

Officers responded at 4:32 p.m. to the area of Lynn Road and the 101 Freeway where an attack had been reported in an encampment in an open space between the 101 and the Oaks mall, said Sgt. Timothy Lohman, a Thousand Oaks Police Department spokesman. Investigators learned that the suspect and victims knew one another and identified the suspect as Robert Burn, Lohman said.

His age was not available but the police spokesman said Burn was born in 1987 and is a transient known to move around the Thousand Oaks area.Burn allegedly entered a tent where he found the two victims, both adult males, and is accused of pouring a flammable liquid on them before lighting them on fire, Lohman said.

Both men had minor burns but did not need further medical treatment, he said. Burn fled and has not been located by authorities.

Shit like this drives me wild! Why? Just why? It’s senseless. It’s already in humane that they are homeless & don’t have resources but then to just enact violence on them knowing how vulnerable they are? This world I hate it.

AbcarianLAT this is on your hands btw

Yo, maybe your own opinion writer is a responsible party here. Fucked up tbh

You directly inspired this. The entire staff or opinion should be fired.

You did this.

I hope you’re happy AbcarianLAT you have blood on your hands

Blood on your hands.

When do they get to sue you and your opinion writer for encouraging violence against them

They read your opinion editorial then?

Adam Johnson explained this vile phenomenon unleashed by Robin Abcarian’s dangerous & irresponsible op-ed shame

It would be a shame if it happens to Alex Villanueva 🙄

Time to start arming the homeless

Hmm, we wonder what is playing a huge part in whipping up the hate against those suffering from the worst material conditions?

This is clearly partly your own fault, no?

Good job you should be happy now.

'Police say the attack wasn't random because they did it'

The LA Times left out the fact that Daniel Nogueira is the son of Eagle Rock Chamber of Commerce President Michael Nogueira.

This you?

Vigilanteism, the new norm. 😡

This. 👇🏽👇🏽

cerisecastle can anybody explain why the police are dealing with homelessness?

You are responsible. It makes me deeply upset that you will never face consequences for attacks you are directly responsible for. Ghouls.

nice job AbcarianLAT, hope the engagement your call to incitement got was worth it

It was really fucking irresponsible of LA Times to publish an Op-Ed encouraging vigilantism against homeless encampments. Incredibly vile. This is on you.

Oh my God...

Baas should change his name to Robert Billionaire.

almost want to be homeless again just so maybe someone will set me on fire and end this nightmare

To attack those who are who are desperate and have nothing, whether it be physically or otherwise, are less than human. They are less than animal. They deserve to be punished as such.

yeah so maybe don’t let AbcarianLAT write about homelessness anymore. it’s fucking awful.

Hahahaha

Just what AbcarianLAT was hoping for

The homeless are the victims of the city’s ineptitude. Nothing is done to deter these zombies from camping on the streets and bringing their filth, crime and violence with them. As such, the populace gets fed up living with vermin and you get what happened in this instance

Don’t worry democrats will always be there for you

How can you have so many homeless in the middle of a “ pandemic “ ? Why are t they dying ?

Horrible.

Jesus
