Crowds and Christmas carolers gathered outside Fox Square Thursday evening to witness the lighting of the All-American Christmas Tree.  More

The alleged arsonist accused of setting fire to the All-American Christmas Tree outside Fox News‘ New York City headquarters early Wednesday could be back on the street in hours, an expert said.

Police arrested tinsel-torching suspect Craig Tamanaha, 49, after he allegedly scaled the 50-foot-tall tree at the center of Fox Square just after midnight in Midtown Manhattan.

But former Manhattan prosecutor turned criminal defense lawyer, Mark Bederow, said he will likely be free by late Thursday since his crimes do not qualify for bail. “You can’t give the Christmas tree an order of protection, so security will have to stand guard,” he said. More

  1. What do they mean “destroyed by an alleged arsonist?” Hasn’t it been pretty much determined that is was destroyed by an arsonist? What is alleged is that the guy who was released with 24 hours is the arsonist, not that the tree was destroyed by an arsonist.

    I hate it when media trip all over themselves to use the words “alleged” and “suspect,” often times negating what they were trying to do in the process.

  2. To Hell with him.

    🎶 Roast him… like chestnuts over an open fire
    COVID nipping at his nose
    Yuletide Karens being hung by the choir
    And folks dressed up like tranny ho’s
    Everybody knows a Turkey and a Cameltoe
    Help to make the season’s fright
    Joe and Hunter with their noses full of blow
    Will find it hard to sleep tonight 🎶
