Authorities don’t consider the arson assault was politically motivated, a press release that irked PoliticusUSA editor Jason Easley, who earlier this morning opined that the burning offers Fox ammunition for the alleged “Battle on Christmas,” which has usually characterised a lot of their protection round this time of yr.
“All sarcasm apart, there’s something poetic a few community that has used Christmas as a divisive weapon for years, having their Christmas tree burned to the bottom,” he wrote, later including: “Fortunately nobody was harm within the Christmas tree fireplace, however I can’t wait to see the Fox and Mates gang standing guard with fireplace extinguishers now by means of New 12 months’s Day outdoors the constructing to forestall future Battle on Christmas assaults.”
