Even in the most anal parsing of the facts, while 183 people weren't arrested for "deliberately starting fires" ... also InfoWars never said that, and everything that InfoWars reported is literally true.

Snopes' -- that makes it 'False'.

Absolute ??

Now, 'fact-masters', .. of the 40 yutes attested for starting fires, and the 24 yutes charged with deliberately starting fires -- what percentage of the mens-rea subset were Immigrant Muslim? ?

So snopes isn't wrong in that assessment.
