how’d the trunk get so far from the stump?
Bruce Wayne: So, how did they finally stop them?
Alfred: They burned down the whole forest.
Probably rolled off the wall when it fell...............
LE keeping an open mind. Uh, looks like the tree is down and there are clearly saw marks. No matter whether Robin was real or if he’d ever set eyes on it, the tree didn’t belong to the little punk and it was an act of vandalism. He must not have a daddy or daddy is a confused wimp who doesn’t know how to use a belt (bring on the pearl clutchers).
Most likely rolled or slid. That is why when you cut a tree down you step back away from it. Even a small tree could hit and kill you.
“cut down every one of the 200 year old oak trees out of the 20 acres of woods behind our house”
I wonder were there trees once where your house now stands whose cutting someone lamented.
This is true for me.
“Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.”
Measure the dimensions of the tree and make the boy and his family PAY to replace it in kind. Until then the boy stays in juvenile detention. If it cost $50,000 to $100,000 great.
To fell a tree that big you have to think about it because it takes quite a long time. It also makes a lot of noise all that time.
Where’s Albert Pierrepoint when you need him?
He was just following the “Noble Law”.
“ Fid he pull a sword from a stone or get one from a wet lady?...”

“I mean, if I went ‘round, saying I was an emperor, just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!”
Use the wood to build a gallows for the kid.
LOL, what are you going to glue it back together. It's dead Jim.
Some wood glue and 2x4s and it will be as good as new.

Almost.
Fasten trunk back up. Steel in the core, maybe. Exterior bracing.
Then “Bridge Graft” from the stump to the trunk.
Bracing will probably have to be permament.
Looks to be at least 10 ft off the trail.
Hope they check all the cell phones at school to see if he did this for Tik Tok or some equally crap app.
Looking at Britain and the USA today that actually might be a better system. At least you might get a decent ruler some of the time. Versus never.
