Sycamore Gap tree at Hadrian's Wall 'felled overnight'

[Feek]

Two people have been charged apparently:

The punishment will never match the crime.

They should be strung up over a big tree.

... oh wait.

If nobody saw it fall then did it make a sound?

Hopefully should mean a lengthy sentence, but I doubt it.

Chop their arms off - seems like a fair sentence to me?

If guilty they should sit in prison long enough for the new one to grow tall enough to be hung from it.

how does one value a tree?

It truly is a wonder that people are so concerned about a single tree when their behaviour results in billions being cut down every year.

Loss of business as a tourist attraction damage to Hadrian's Wall which will have to be repaired. For a nights mindless vandalism its pretty bloody stupid. They probably know they'll only get a slap on the wrist though probably do community service from their POV its probably worth it for local notoriety

They're quite old though so it's a bit surprising.

They look like a right pair of knackers, I can tell even with the balaclavas.

 

[Bubo]

Were they on there way back from a Team Fortress 2 Cosplay convention?

Edit: Beaten

They took his sword into evidence. can you chop a tree down with a sword?

Problem with that is we will end up paying for them due to being disabled... Better to have a cattle prod to the back of the neck.

Honestly, I just want to know what the motivation for this was. It was a crappy thing to do and I don't understand who would do such a thing.

Not even like it was students drunk on their way home from a night out, they had to walk with a chainsaw in the dark in the middle of nowhere to do this
