Armed society ain’t always polite society.
Another bitter, slightly senile mean old man.
No…not Biden, the killer.
It’s a pity the 8 year old wasn’t armed.
Couldn’t find the exact details - were the trees hanging over onto the neighbor’s property? In my state, it is legal to trim back such trees on your side of the property.
Or was the “tree trimmer” going onto the neighbor’s property? or trimming back trees that were on the neighbor’s side of the property.
Was this an on-going neighborhood feud between the two?
Still, the result wasn’t warranted or justified.
Discovery ID has a series called “Fear They Neighbor” about all kinds of neighborhood disputes that end in gunfire and death.
Nothing worse than a feud in the neighborhood - my friend is going through one right now and says it’s hell - he’s tried to make amends but his vindictive neighbor won’t have it.
Mainstream news stories are so frustrating. This story doesn’t even say who owns the trees or whether the trees were hanging over the property line. As someone who loves trees and has created a small forest over 50 years on our large suburban lot, this story holds a lot of interest for me. Some of our neighbors love it and some hate it. We even have one neighbor who used to come over and “trim” some of our plants in the middle of the night. He doesn’t even live next door. Whenever I have caught him, I scream at him. He thinks he owns the neighborhood. Fortunately, he is getting older and doesn’t do it so much anymore.
For anyone who might be interested in the topic, I believe that it is legal (at least around here) to trim neighbors’ trees that hang over your property line, as long as it doesn’t damage the tree itself. Trespassing on your neighbor’s property is also a no-no.
Everyone in the video posesses very low I.Q.
