\nMel Gibson proposed a \u2018crazy\u2019 conspiracy theory about the LA wildfires after his home was destroyed, which left many baffled\n
Actor Mel Gibson has presented his own theory regarding the LA wildfires, and it left many baffled.\n
The Mad Max star lost his \u00a312million Malibu home in the fires. That prompted a reaction from him that led to backlash.\n
\u201cI can make all kinds of horrible theories up in my head \u2013 conspiracy theories and everything else \u2013 but it just seemed a little convenient that there was no water.\n
\n
\u201cAnd that the wind conditions were right and that there are people ready and willing and able to start fires,\u201d he said, believing that the destruction could have been \u201ccommissioned\u201d to clear homes off valuable land.\n
Following the reports that a suspect was arrested in relation to starting one of the fires, the actor asked if that person, whose identity hasn\u2019t been revealed, was acting on their own or he could have been \u201ccommissioned\u201d to do what he had done.\n
\u201cThey seem pretty well equipped, some of these people that they\u2019re catching.\n
\u201cI know they were missing with the water, letting reserves go for one reason or another,\u201d Gibson said in a recent interview with Fox News\u2019 Laura Ingraham for The Ingraham Angle.\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve been doing that a while. California has a lot of problems that sort of baffle the mind as far as why they do things.\u201d\n

\u201cAnd then in events like this, you sort of look, well, it is on purpose?\n
\u201cWhich, it\u2019s an insane thing to think. But one begins to ponder whether or not there is a purpose in mind. What could it be? You know, what do they want? The state empty? I don\u2019t know,\u201d he added.\n
\u201cBut they seem pretty well equipped, these people that they are catching.\u201d\n
His claims sparked controversy among people.
\n\u201cConspiracy theories are his last claims to fame,\u201d someone wrote on Twitter. \u201cWhile people in California are fighting fires, these two are busy lighting fires,\u201d another added. \u201cShameful,\u201d a third posted.\n
Ingraham commented on what Gibson had to say, saying there have already been rumblings about high-density housing in the areas affected by the fires. The award-winning actor compared the situation with \u201cold cattle barons clearing people off the land.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
