UCSB Student Arrested for I.V. Foot Patrol Arson Attack

"Keiper was previously arrested in October during an Occupy Santa Barbara protest in De La Guerra Plaza."

Couldn't of called that 1 any better. Have a nice stay @ the Graybar Suites sonny. Copycat occuloser :) henry

An Occupier, for real? I thought they only burned flags, smashed windows, spray painted buildings, defecated in public, extorted mom and pop street vendors, you know, smaller stuff.

I guess he decided to upgrade to arson as well. Now he can 99% occupy a warm jail cell :) henry

Top o the world ma....top o the world!!!

Remember Valerie Solanis? Yet who today would condemn all Feminists because of one bad apple?
But before we all get excited, he might be innocent. Remember that poor guy who was accused of bombing the Olympics and it turned out he was innocent? That poor guy's life was ruined.

Innocent until proven guilty or guilty until proven innocent?

His parents must be so proud of this young man. Occupier and arsonist in a few short months! This may have been a prerequisite for heading north and gaining membership to the Professional Anarchist/Occupiers in Oakland...Kind of a low key central coast apprentice program.

btw-The apartment building that used to be where the Police Station is now located was my first abode when coming to the U.S. I wish this moron had fire bombed MY apartment because it was truly an affront to society...

Probably another one of lunatic Professor Kaos', er, Neil Baker's, many minions. Glad they got this doosh. My guess is his tuition fees are probably going to see a slight increase. Have fun storming the hoosegow, fireboy!

Sorry Ken, but your backing of this guy & equating him to Solanis is only putting you in the crosshairs of the silly gun.
Nobody is excited because this was expected: Occupoo = occufail, which it has clearly become.
Personally I was hoping it was just a drunken IV UCSB/SBCC student w/ a gripe against the popo about an MIP or DIP or DUI, but alas, I was wrong.
W/ that said, as a cinematographer, have you heard the trials & tribulations of Jim Pool? He's the famous videotographer that put the occupest Wall Street thing on the map w/ his live stream vids of the protests, he was considered their minister of information. well, up until recently.
Seems Mr. Pool videoed some of the occulosers commiting acts of vandalism & other nefarious activities.
Now the occufailers are threatening him w/ acts of violence & have even attacked him @ some of their outbursts known as "protests" because him & his camera are now a threat.
So much for the peaceful, well-meaning, transparent 99% they claim to be.
Violence, secrecy, censorship, vandalism, hypocrisy, theft, nothing good there. Ken, how can you be in defense of these idiots? I know you're WAY smarter than that.
As a cinematographer who espouses the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution I would believe you'd be up in arms about Mr. Pool's treatment by those you glorify.

Scoot: "An Occupier, for real? I thought they only burned flags, smashed windows, spray painted buildings, defecated in public, extorted mom and pop street vendors, you know, smaller stuff"

I think it was "high" time for our boy here to make a move to the top of the world.

Ramon: "Top o the world ma....top o the world!!!"

Ahh, Jimmy Cagney, what a performance! Fire in the background & all! Must've been an occupier before occupoo was even heard of.

BillC: "Innocent until proven guilty or guilty until proven innocent?

I think in this case it's stupid until proven otherwise. The best & brightest I tell you!

Draxor: "Have fun storming the hoosegow, fireboy!"

HAHAHAHA! Good call Draxor, good call.

Good work SB Co Sherrif's, you tracked down a occuloser & now there's the proof in the pudding that these clowns are, well, clowns. D-nozzles is more like it :) henry

Another upper middle class white kid who will discover the locals at county will not care about his years of repression at UCSB or his revolutionary call to arms.

How am I backing or not backing this guy Hank? I was also hopoing it was some drunken frat boy but whoever is responsible needs to be ouniched, someone could've been killed. And if it is Kieper and he is involved with the Occupy Movement he just brought a whole lot of shame and trouble onto a cause/movement he is said to support.
How is this "backing the guy" again? I think trying to maintain an attitude of innocence til proven guilty unless its just so obvious like a bloody glove in your SUV or or your car wrapped around a tree. This is why I thought of the guy who at first (wrongly) accused of bombing the Olympics.

But it's foolish to assign violent tendencies to an amorphous group with no leadership (i.e. the birthplace of problems if you ask me - lack of structure and leadership). The Occupy Movement is supported by a wide spectrum of people across all economic, social, ethnic and political worlds. I'd say easily 99% of these people are advocates of nonviolence.
A lot of people have also latched onto it, good and bad, sincere and sketchy, sane and not so. That can be said of anything, even our old punk rock movement that got overrun with Nazi skinheads.
What is happening to Pool as you describe is also an outrage, of course I think so. There are zealots on both sides, I tend to piss them off myself and sobeit, eff'em.

I hardly think being compared to Valerie Solanis is a compliment!! But I'm sure some people think potato bugs are cute and cuddly.
Here's a piece on Richard Jewell, the guy erroneously accused of bombing the Olympics - he in fact acted heroically that day: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/30/us/...

Who knows? Mr. Kieper could be a Richard Jewell or a Valerie Solanis.

Law enforcement is comprised of people just as much as the Occupy Movement is. (in fact many police support the Occupy Movement. I also read a great piece on how many police officers are against the war on drugs and the myriad fears they have about speaking out.)

I learned a long time ago to avoid judging a film by its poster.

KenV: "And if it is Kieper and he is involved with the Occupy Movement he just brought a whole lot of shame and trouble onto a cause/movement he is said to support."

Hate to tell you this, but occupoo NY has been bringing shame & trouble onto itself on a daily basis & that's not even counting Oakland.
But all that aside, as it does get tiring, looks like fireboy (just LOVE draxor's colorful names for perps) is in deep occudoodoo.
Wouldn't be surprised if the popo levels terrorism charges against our new little Che Guevarra.
How's that old techno song from the 1980's that was in the "Pump Up The Volume" soundtrack go? Oh yeah:
"Look mom, I'm in jail! Happy birthday mom, from jail! I like it here, in jail! tell dad I say hello, from jail!"
Wish I knew the name of that song, it's very fitting & very funny :) henry

Its very sad. Because either this kid made one of the dumbest decisions of anyone's life (in which case he should be punished) or we still have an arsonist out there and an innocent kid is in jail. That is my overall point. Either way, no cause for celebration.

Come on Ken if this guy was linked to the campus Young Republicans or some Tea Party group you would have already judged them guilty and been screaming for blood, at least be honest about it :)

I hope not PointsSouth. I think I've matured past that. I have too many friends that self identify as Republican for starters.

@hank: "How's that old techno song from the 1980's that was in the "Pump Up The Volume" soundtrack go?"

I think you enjoy being wrong about everything.

The band is Was (Not Was) - the same folks that Walk The Dinosaur. And it's *not* a techno song. And it is *not* on the "Pump Up The Volume" soundtrack - although it was briefly heard in the film.

Must be hard to live w/ yourself when you fail to look @ the data. The only correctness in your post was the band & song title, other than that... WRONG AGAIN. Now go be a nice little "progressive" & take 1 of those urban camping trips known as occufail :) henry

Jeez Hank you forgot to add the running times.

Here is Occupy SB's official mission statement, note the emphasis on nonviolence and cooperation. Link below. For those who didn't understand my above Valerie Solanis message, she shot Andy Warhol in the late 60s.

@hank: "Must be hard to live w/ yourself when you fail to look @ the data"

Yeah, I own the soundtrack. I didn't need to look up at the "data". I practically know the words to every song by heart.

www.amazon.com/Pump-Up-Original-Pictu...

1. Everybody Knows
2. Why Can't I Fall in Love
3. Stand!
4. Wave of Mutilation [UK Surf]
5. I've Got a Miniature Secret Camera
6. Kick Out the Jams
7. Freedom of Speech
8. Heretic
9. Titanium Exposé
10. Me and the Devil Blues
11. Tale O' the Twister

Heard in the film, NOT on the soundtrack.

Speaking of WRONG AGAIN, I look forward to another one of your posts.

KenV: "Jeez Hank you forgot to add the running times"

HAHAHA! Real funny there tough guy, real funny :) henry

@hank: "Sounds like you got duped ya big dummy, no wonder you're always bitter."

Says the guy who was misquoting said soundtrack a few posts ago.

@hank: "Sounds like a pattern of playing 'victim' is why you're the "progressive" you are."

I'm only a victim of the 'regressive' stupidity displayed in your comments.

@hank: "Seems like you have too much tiime on your hands... "

Says the guy with 1680 comments and counting...

@hank: "no wonder you want the nanny state to care for you. "

I have an excellent job, thank you.

So that's three assumptions that are all wrong. At least you're good at something. Oops, almost forgot...

@hank: "So you can be corrected yet again you silly willy?"

You need to replace the person to whom you're dictating your comments. They're making you look like an idiot.

@hank: "...closet racist, keep up the "progressively" great work little miss bittercup. Looks like I'll have to go back to talking to you in Spanish"

That's fine. I speak Spanish. I actually lived in Mexico for a period of time. Unlike some people, I'm not a self-hating Latino who fears cultural differences.

Ken hope the :) at the end, conveyed that I was speaking lightly in previous comment

Hank-Be nice to ETR. Even racists need love and compassion.

I do believe that Occupy SB has a non violence clause in their little manifestothingy. I also believe that Occupy SB is a non entity. Is that self cancelling?

@italiansurg: "Even racists need love and compassion."

So you think racists deserve love and compassion, but not the poor and needy?

We've just learned a lot about you.
