    <<MOD ALERT>>
    "Police say the 49-year-old suspect climbed up "the metal superstructure" -- the tree is an artificial sculpture that is shaped to look like a tree -- lit papers he brought with him on fire, and shoved the papers into the tree structure."

    How can anybody put up a flammable Christmas tree outside in NYC? Who would be that stupid? Oh wait, FOXNEWS.
    Nevermind.

    If it doesn't belong to you, don't mess with it. And if you're so intolerant of others ideals that you feel the need to commit a crime, then please seek professional help.

    I think that tree is made of the standard artificial tree/garland type material. A plastic type material. Usually when you look at Christmas trees they advertise "flame retardant" and I am guessing this one is made from the same material. When you watch the video you can see that only 1/2 the tree is on fire. They also report that the suspect climb to the top first. This suggest to me that he dumped some type of fuel on the tree and set that on fire. Most of the flames are from the burning fuel. Once it gets hot enough the plastic probably melts and burns too.

    Fox News ought to move out of New York. There is no need to locate there anymore and it's become a real crime infested crap hole with the Democrats in charge. Even a Christmas Tree is not safe from the thugs that now run the city.

    Also, it's likely Bloomingdales, Macy's, etc. fault that they are being mob robbed. Who is stupid enough to sell nice things in New York City? Right? That matches the logic you just spewed out.

    Fox paid a desperate homeless man to burn their tree so they can bash Libs, which is what they did immediately, they even had their punch line ready in advance for the event.
    Ainsley Earhardt went on to declare that Fox will “build it back better.”

    So what do you call MSNBC and CNN who have lost over 80% of their viewers?

    I don’t waste time watching cable news crap. I live in a place where I can go skiing, surf, play golf and be outside. I use my TV to watch sports, listen to great music and watch classic movies. I do not engage in AM radio blowhards, snot nosed tv propagandists or any of that crap...

    That doesn't change the viewer statistics nationally. MSNBC and CNN have tanked and lost 80% of their viewers to Fox.

    This is dems America.

    No room for wrong think.

    Dont believe what they believe? They will take whats yours and destroy it. If they can, they will destroy you to.

    They will use everything in their power to hurt you, be it mandates, cancellation, or violence.

    This is the tolerant left today.

    So fox is stupid for not anticipating an arsonist? Personal responsibility is a foreign concept for so many. Its not bad enough theft is excused to the point of smash-and-grabs being common, now arson is foxnews's fault!!!

    I think its sad...really sad. I don't care who is putting up the tree - it is being done for the 'Christmafacation' of the city.

    You blame the tree instead of the person that lit it on fire.

    Is there like some chemical in the water liberals drink that prevents them from rational conclusions?

    Dude, I grew up in Fort Lee, NJ one half mile from the George Washington Bridge. NYC has a lot going for it, but not only are my friends and family saying the horrors of NYC are bleeding over into Fort Lee, but now much of Wall St wants to relocate to Florida because of the high taxes and crime. Yeah, the Italian food, dirty water dogs and bagels are great, but crime is out of control. Start reading the NY Post.

    Yep, using his logic people should have expected the George Floyd statues to be vandalized, what were they thinking?
