I was watching the news as it happened and there were 20 employees onsite, all safely evacuated. One firefighter was injured, not seriously. Nobody lives there, it’s all warehouses, and at night they’ll have minimum staff. So in terms of harm to ordinary people it’s pretty minimal.
Mainly loss of livelihood for the 20 workers, but honestly it’s on the boss to redistribute them to help with the shift of orders through other warehouses. At least they should get any severance and paid days off they’re owed, and set up for worker’s comp.
LAFD firefighters are professional and paid, so it’s not calling a bunch of volunteers away from their jobs either.
Paper goods evidently burn really well but they apparently didn’t produce toxic fumes, or there would have been some warnings about it.
I’m not endorsing this kind of action, but it’s not like he set a nursing home or chemical plant on fire.
Not exactly thousands.

Or bombed a girls’ school full of children.
