LOS ANGELES — Four municipal trucks were set ablaze in a rural Riverside County town plagued by bizarre booby trap attempts to kill police officers, and authorities said Wednesday the fire may be linked to the earlier attacks.
"Everyone is worried, everyone is being careful," Hemet police Lt. Duane Wisehart said. "You get scared a little bit and then you get angry. It keeps happening."
Someone called police around 11:10 p.m. Tuesday to report a fire in the parking lot at Hemet City Hall, located within two blocks of the police department, Police Chief Richard Dana said. No one was hurt.
Police were working with state and federal investigators to determine the cause of the blaze, which sent flames several feet above the trucks in the cab and hood area. The white trucks were for use by code enforcement officers.
Early indications were that some kind of flammable substance was used and not an explosive, Dana said.
Hemet, a traditionally quiet retirement city about 90 miles southeast of Los Angeles, has been rocked by a series of booby trap attacks against police officers in recent weeks.

But Dana on Wednesday distanced himself from the theory.
"We have since started looking at other things" he said. "They are a group that is on the investigation list but there are other groups, too."

Nothing more than typical Gang Violence, sounds like the Jack Booted Thugs pissed off some people. But then again it could just be a Fund Raiser. Which by the way is pretty common on California.

This form of intimidation is only going to get worse.
Citizens will go to war against the government. There are many reasons to do so, and I fully support them all. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
