Thou shalt not knock down the king’s trees........ even if they are on your own property..................

Silly you

That is not your own property. It belongs tot he King....you get to rent it for the taxes.

They’re endangered according to the People’s Republic of California. You know? The state that prefers massive wildfires over disturbing the habitat of an ‘endangered’ mouse?
He shouldn’t have bought the property when he saw them.
Or he should have negotiated the price down because of loss of use because of the presence of the trees.
But he shouldn’t have touched them.

Nice neighbours!

In addition Traitor in Chief is set to issue regulation declaring that rain water puddle a navigable water way. Private property - thing of the past.

[Osage Orange]

I'm going to disagree with you here.....

[dware]

even if they are on your own property

Peasants don't own property. They are only caretakers for the elite. No such thing as "your own property".

[Responsibility2nd]

No doubt whoever knocked down those trees knew they were there before they bought the property and knew there were laws protecting them.

Pay the fine.
