Paul Hyon Kim, a 36-year-old anti-Israel activist, was arrested in Las Vegas for allegedly setting multiple Teslas on fire with Molotov cocktails. This incident, which involved a significant fire fueled by exploding lithium batteries, has been described by authorities as having characteristics of terrorism. Kim's radical views, particularly his disdain for mainstream leftist figures, were noted by former colleagues who expressed surprise at his violent actions. Firearms were discovered at his residence, shedding light on his extremist affiliations and troubling behavior.
The last Instagram story I remember seeing from him-I don't remember if it was yesterday or the day before-he had reposted something about how progressive political streamer Hasan Piker was a sellout because he sat down and spoke to leftist Democratic politicians.
Authorities previously said the attack - which turned into a raging inferno when one of the car's lithium batteries exploded - had 'some of the hallmarks' of terrorism.
Numerous firearms and gun parts were found at his home, according to police.
A former colleague who worked on a reality show with Kim described him as a 'nice guy' who was 'passionate politically' and promoted pro-Palestinian causes on social media.
