Dennis Rodman: ‘Why are we looting, why are we stealing…We’re not f*king animals’
Former NBA star Dennis Rodman posted a powerful message on Instagram Sunday night in response to the ongoing riots in the wake of Minnesota resident George Flyod’s death by a police officer.
“Why are we looting, why are we stealing?” said Rodman, who recalled the destruction of the Los Angeles riots in 1992.
He added: “We’ve got too many issues right now. This is a bad one right now, but we’ve got to all come together and try to help each other try to get through all this situation. Please, please understand, we have to live together. We’re human beings, we’re not f**king animals. We’re human beings.”

Just before 12:15 am Wednesday morning, an arsonist set fire to the 50-foot tree in front of Fox News’ Midtown headquarters on 6th avenue. The suspect, a 49-year-old with three prior arrests, was quickly caught and taken into custody.
The man has two previous arrests for drug possession and one for public intoxication. The motive is unclear, and Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said detectives are looking into whether mental illness was a factor.
The suspect accused of setting the News Corp. Christmas tree on fire is taken into custody by the NYPD.
“The suspect is identified as 49-year-old Craig Tamanaha, who is homeless, with a last known address in Brooklyn” reports ABC 7 New York. Police said the suspect climbed up “the metal superstructure” underneath the artificial tree and lit papers he had brought with him on fire, then shoved the papers into the tree structure.
He then climbed down and watched from the street level as it burned, and he was spotted by building security who pointed the man out to police officers posted in nearby Rockefeller Center,” reports ABC.
A lighter was found in his possession, and he has been charged with criminal mischief, reckless endangerment, arson, criminal nuisance, endangering others, criminal trespass, criminal tampering and disorderly conduct.
Fox says it will rebuild the tree, which took more than 21 hours to assemble and consisted of 10,000 glass ornaments and 100,000 lights.
