worthless cunts.
America can't have nice things, so I guess it's good that it's going to stop having nice things in that respect.
For one second I thought they threw the vandals in the river.
They should.
They didn't?
Ripping out 60 trees that weigh 30 lbs each in a night? There’s no way this was just some drunk hooligans or something. This was either over money or politics.
Depending on how they “ripped them out” 30lbs is an extreme underestimate.
That’s a lot of friggin work. I hope they had PPE at least 🤷♂️/s
Edit: they said 30 lbs in the article lol must be container trees. For how tall those trees are that’s really small root balls though. But still a friggin lot of work!!!
That is one of the saddest things I've heard today.
I wonder who they voted for
Like what are the logistics here? It's hard to get trees out of the ground.
Someone did this for 60 trees overnight without get bored? Sounds like hard work to me
WTF is wrong with people nowadays!
they had better not put some horrible building contract there
What are you talking about?
Not sure why you're being down voted. When I lived in Florida I watched a university take advantage of the wreckage of a hurricane aftermath to remove the "debris" with large machines. they removed a bunch of vegetation from the land (which had a conservation easement on it). Then they filed a petition with the government to remove the easement (due to the trees having been removed) so they could put a building in the land.
Nobody gets drunk and simply uproots a few dozen trees. this seems like an effort from some rich group who wants to profit off the land
