Fox Christmas Tree Arsonist Set Free Without Bail

The homeless man who set fire to the Christmas tree outside of the Fox News building in Manhattan has been set free by the presiding judge because, according to Assistant District Attorney Matthew Bayley, he was “not charged with a bail-eligible offense.”

Craig Tamanaha, a 49-year-old vagrant from Hawaii, was charged with several misdemeanors, including arson, criminal mischief, reckless endangerment, and criminal trespass. He caused about $500,000 in damage, according to a Fox spokesperson.

Tamanaha claims he didn’t do it and then went on an incoherent rant in front of reporters.

New York Post:

He denied the arson and hurled obscenities at reporters before asking them for a cigarette.

“The moms that want to rape their f—ing daughters — they set it on fire,” yelled the man, who had also allegedly exposed himself outside the Ghislaine Maxwell trial last week.

Tamanaha climbed up the 50-foot tree and lit it on fire using a piece of cardboard. – READ MORE
