I've been maintaining a short list, in the comments of another post, of news articles pointing to Arson being the cause of the latest fires in Oregon and California. I was about to add another article to the pile when I figured this list deserves its own post. This list is specifically taken from normie sources, making them more useful in a debate than the raving YouTube videos that are circulating. If more evidence comes out, I plan to update this list.

(Strongest evidence of rioter cause so far, with fireworks being a big part of the violent rioter's arsenal. Gasoline is much cheaper and easier to come by.) https://mobile.twitter.com/MultCoSO/status/1304577271429099520?s=19 Archive: https://archive.is/XyaHw

Update 9/15

The fires around the Eugene area were likely started by telephone poles. Could not find a source definitively saying so, but multiple warnings were issued in the area. Thank you davidverner.

I am ~70% sure a good chunk of these fires are the work of Antifa/BLM/Anarchists, but there's no definitive proof as of the time of this posting (only supporting evidence). The initial fire outbreak coincides with a relatively quiet night in Portland, and the majority of the communities threatened by these fires are mostly against the riots. Until the cause of all the fires is made clear, we can only speculate and make sure evidence doesn't get memory-holed.

Update: normie sources are now reporting most of the fires were downed powerlines https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/Latest-Crews-Prevent-fire-damage-to-famed-15571969.php
