Imagine being an adult and thinking this is an acceptable thing to do. Why are there so many shitheads in the world?
- Covid didn't do enough
So we still don’t know what the motive was?
- Nope, as far as I'm aware a motive hasn't been made public. But I'm willing to chalk it up to some people just being miserable jerks.
  
  chock it up
  Chalk it up?
  
  Miserable jerks are definitely way more common than they should be but cutting a tree is a lot of work. It’s hard to believe they didn’t have some kind of motive beyond just stirring up shit. Maybe we’ll find out during or after the trial.
Someone just ran over a fully grown tree on my street corner and I'm pissed
