PHOENIX – A banned former Democratic volunteer was arrested for arson Wednesday in the fire that destroyed the party’s Maricopa County headquarters in Phoenix last week, authorities said.

Matthew Silvanus Egler, 29, was booked on one count of arson of an occupied structure, a class 2 felony, in connection to the blaze set early Friday morning in central Phoenix.

Egler had been banned from volunteering at the Democratic office “due to the nature of his previous behavior,” according to a joint press release from the Phoenix fire and police departments.

I've been Laughing My Ass Off ever since I first saw this....

An an unrelated note, the Director of the local HQ tells me they've replaced the latest smashed window at the GOP Central Committee.

3. The Party Has Been Threatened Before
Arizona Democratic Party Chair Felecia Rotellini told 12News that this is not the first time the Arizona Democratic Party has been targeted during this election cycle. Rotellini did not elaborate on the other threats.

"This whole election cycle, presidential cycle, we have not been strangers to proposed attacks, by threats towards people and our building," Rotellini said.

That 12News link in the article didn't work, but this link worked for me, https://www.12news.com/article/news/local/valley/arizona-democratic-party-headquarters-catches-on-fire/75-83fc2c47-b0cb-439a-a709-6e6fb6caba9e .

From what I've seen elsewhere, the actual perp sound like a guy who is off his meds or is a stranger to the meds he needs.

Leftists blamed President Donald Trump and Republicans after an alleged arson fire burned down the Maricopa County Democratic Party office building last week, but police say the culprit was a Democrat activist.

The office, which serves as the state Democratic Party headquarters, was set on fire during the early morning hours of last Friday.

Late this week, the Phoenix Police Department announced that “Matthew Egler was arrested Wednesday morning on arson charges.”
