I’d have expected a better headline than this. No one died. No one was completely trapped inside (egress was temporarily impeded per story).

The article says the doorway was moderately damaged. The door was set afire, people screamed and panicked, someone called the FD, they came and put the fire out.

Probably seemed like plenty to the folks in the office at the time, but no, really not a major conflagration. Certainly not “burning down” the whole building.

Title says Burned down?

“The door to the Senator’s office sustained moderate fire damage, and the third floor and floors below sustained significant water damage,’ said the Burlington Fire Department.”

Though raised Jewish, Sanders says that he is “not particularly religious,” nor is he a member of any congregation or synagogue. “I am not actively involved in organized religion,” he has told reporters.

A lakehouse and a car. Better than the parting gifts if you defy Hillary’s request to bow out.

“Social Media” already has begun blaming Trump supporters.

You mean the arsonist didn’t stay to watch. How rude!

I honestly thought a coincidence would happen and the CCTV systems failed just minutes before the arson attack.

Not a baseball hat. What’s called a “bobcat” or, when pulled down over the face, a ski mask, if it has holes for the eyes and nose. But it’s red. That proves he was MAGA!/sarc

They weren’t “trapped inside,” either. No fatalities. Not even booboos.
