NYC Christmas Tree Arsonist as predicted yesterday was let out of jail with no bail. What is it about these major DemocRat π American cities that have turned Lawless mostly since Joe Biden took office? It was said earlier on Fox & Friends that a judge could not find any reason to hold Craig Tamanaha in jail. ARSON is a Major CRIME, but apparently NOT in Bill De Blasio’s Lawless NYC! π₯
The New York Post reports: The Christmas Tree Arsonist who allegedly torched the Fox News tree was freed after his arraignment Wednesday night because his charges were not eligible for bail under new liberal reform laws. βI didnβt do it!β suspect Craig Tamanaha, 49, claimed to reporters outside Manhattan criminal court after being asked about the early morning arson that caused about $500,000 in damage outside the Midtown building that houses Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post. Tamanaha, a vagrant with a lengthy rap sheet who was known to police, also went on an incoherent rant outside the courthouse. He denied the arson and hurled obscenities at reporters before asking them for a cigarette. ‘Only during an NYC Christmas!’

The suspect Craig Tamanaha, 49, was charged with a slew of misdemeanor charges, including Christmas Tree arsonist, criminal mischief, reckless endangerment, and criminal trespass for allegedly setting ablaze the 50-foot tall artificial tree with a piece of cardboard that was on fire. Assistant District Attorney Matthew Bayley said at the arraignment that Tamanaha was βnot charged with a bail eligible offense.β Judge Martinez Alonso granted Tamanaha a supervised release at the request of prosecutors. For a judge to set bail, Tamanaha would have to be charged with at least third-degree felony arson, criminal defense lawyer Mark Bederow told FOX News.
But never fear, Fox News is not letting this Grinch spoil Christmas. A new tree will be unveiled tonight during The Five broadcast at 7:00 PM ET. But as I said yesterday, no wonder they’re fleeing Bill De Blasio’s (D-NY) Lawless NYC for Ron DeSantis (R-FL) state of Florida. Y’all come on down, the weather’s great, go fishing or golfing all year round. Just leave your Yankee baggage behind! π
