Defendants unmasked in court face cost of damage for allegedly felling famous 150-year-old tree

Imagine being an adult and thinking this is an acceptable thing to do. Why are there so many shitheads in the world?

So we still don’t know what the motive was?

Edit: Oh shit! SORRY! I looked at the little picture on my phone and truly didn’t see the balaclavas until I just opened the article up on a large PC screen now!

I’ll leave up my mistake (below) as a testament to my poor eyesight.

TBH I never expected the perps to be black. It will quite interesting to unpack their motives and put it into some historical perspective regarding purposeful, inadvertent or ignorant destruction by European colonial invaders in, uh… everywhere else in the world.
