    Tree burns in Manhattan!

    Someone just burned down the Christmas tree in front of Fox studios in NY City. It had just been lit this Sunday. Man was caught.
    1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

    2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

            Fox definitely paid someone to do it. Nobody is that mad about Christmas despite what their opinion hosts state. This whole stunt will probably be good for ratings and their annual tradition of selling folks on the supposed “War on Christmas”

              Yes, love it, "Fox definitely paid someone to do it". Need to check with the Osundario bros. they're in the business, experienced, available, & relatively cheap, they'll do anything for appx. $3500 or maybe less.

                  their alibi can be that they were doing drugs and having sex with Hannity and Tucker.

                    Nah, I can’t see FNC pulling a Smollett to make that point.

                        Gave me a chuckle too. Also I just read recently, I'm pretty sure on this site, somebody said the Cuomos didn't come across as sleeze bags...I got a chuckle out of that too.

                          I don’t think it’s that far fetched. American news media struggles with objective reporting so I wouldn’t put it past them to make themselves the story. Its all sensationalized non-sense to get ratings instead of actually informing people.

                            A homeless guy with a history of drug arrests. This passage from the reporting gives us some insight.

                            The motive for the arson was unclear, but police say Tamanaha appears to have acted alone. He may have first attempted to access the Rockefeller Center tree before turning his sights on Fox.

                            Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said detectives are looking into whether mental illness or drugs were a factor.
                            Ya' think?
                            ...
                            Believe in truth. To abandon fact is to abandon freedom.

                            Nature bats last.
