Colorado must have really lowered the bar for getting a medical license
in the name of diversity, equity and inclusion with this Neanderthal
clown. I am reminded of the olden days when one went to one's barber to
have surgery performed with leeches used to suck out the puss and blood.

"Aurora" dentist accused of setting fire to send clean energy message
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A "Colorado dentist" accused of setting a fire that
damaged a transformer at a solar power array outside Las Vegas last week
told investigators he wanted to send a message supporting clean energy
and denied his intention was sabotage, police said in an arrest report
obtained Wednesday.
“I burned it,” Mohammed Reza Mesmarian told police detectives during questioning following his arrest Jan. 5 at a trailer home parked at a
campsite near Lake Mead, the Colorado River reservoir outside Las Vegas.
“Mesmarian admitted he knew setting a vehicle on fire could cause damage
to the (transformer) unit, but stated he did it for the big message,
larger picture, greater good,” his arrest report said. “He explained the greater good was clean energy.”
Mesmarian, 34, remains jailed without bail pending mental health
evaluations and a court hearing Feb. 1. If he is found fit for trial, he
could face felony terrorism, arson and other charges that could get him
decades in state prison.
He told police the fire early Jan. 4 that damaged Chicago-based
Invenergy's Mega Solar Array “represented moving forward in the world,”
the report said.
Mesmarian told police he had been in Las Vegas for several days during
the New Year holiday, thought the solar farm about 25 miles (40
kilometers) northeast of Las Vegas was a Tesla facility, and he believed
the transformer was connected to “the network.”
The solar array provides electricity by contract with several Las Vegas
Strip properties operated by MGM Resorts International. When Invenergy
shut it down, the casino company switched to the statewide electric
grid. An MGM Resorts official said there was no effect at Strip properties.
Mesmarian told police he was born in Iran. His attorney, Nick Pitaro,
said Wednesday his client is a U.S. citizen and a college graduate. His
first name is spelled Mohammad in public records in Colorado. His online professional profile said he attended the University of Colorado
Anschutz Medical Campus.
Pitaro declined additional comment about Mesmarian's case pending the
mental competency hearing in state court in Las Vegas.
Mesmarian's arrest in Nevada followed several attacks and arrests
involving electrical substations in states including Washington, Oregon
and North Carolina, and an order by federal regulators for a review of
security standards at the nation’s electricity transmission network.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has also issued a national
terrorism advisory bulletin, listing U.S. critical infrastructure among possible targets of violence.
Allegations against Mesmarian bear similarities to a Utah case involving
a man arrested in 2016 and later sentenced to federal prison for using a
rifle to damage an electric substation, causing a power outage in rural
Kane and Garfield counties.
