NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — President Donald Trump ran up a steep security tab in New York City before taking office in January.

Now, a Bronx golf course operated by the Trump Organization might be in need of a little more protection.

Two men with a chainsaw jumped over an 8-foot-high fence along the 15th hole of Trump Links at Ferry Point in New York and started toppling trees on Tuesday morning, CBS New York reported.

A society grows great when old men
plant trees, in whose shade they know they
shall never sit.

Let us pray that those chainsaws had fingerprints all over them - the handle, trigger, top of frame, etc.

I love it when stupid criminals get caught that way.

Then feed them to the Nature Conservancy organization, the Sierra Club, and the Isaak Walton League.

Or tie them to a tree and let the beavers have lunch.

Yes, the left is full of crazy environmentalists, but as with everything they are hypocrites.

Headline on this article in WaPo and NYT today: "Leftists Killing Planet!"

Ha, ha!

Isn't it odd that you cut a tree DOWN before you cut a tree UP?

Now Trump can burn those trees in the clubhouse fireplace and get their carbon back into circulation.

Doing A-hole things does not make you a hero to the “resistance” or anyone not a part of the psycho “resistance”. It just makes you an A-hole.

The end justifies the means.

Probably no need to get so hi tech. Just go to the Facebook pages of the local libtards. Find the ones bragging about doing it.

Further, let these guys explain to their family why they don’t have funds for things they want to do.

Have the guys do a thousand hours of public service as well.

I'd prefer public caning as punishment and deterrent........

Perhaps these vandals are actually golfers who found that the placement of the trees they cut down obstructive to their play. Anyone who plays has to remember a hole or two at least where a tree was growing directly in line with a shot to the green necessitating aiming left or right, sometimes at water or sand traps or worse. Golf course architects frequently put trees in strategic places to mind-f*ck players.

There’s a course my group plays regularly just outside of York, PA, and for years the 11th hole, a shortish par 4, had a huge deciduous tree at the right edge of the fairway that necessitated aiming at the left edge of the fairway and there was a red-stake hazard with meandering creek just off the left side. Slice it right and you were on a hillside and the tree blocked any shot to the green. Well, two years ago we were playing this course for the first time in the spring and coming to the 11th tee, lo and behold there was just a six foot stump of a trunk where the tree used to be. Getting up close, you could see that the remaining trunk was scorched like someone dosed that sucker with fuel and flicked the Zippo. Much nicer hole now.

You can't be serious. If so, they should be barred from entry in perpetuity.

Have no grown-ups ever heard of using words and speaking to the management?

I’d prefer adding in the canning. I’ve got no problem with that. Just don’t eliminate the other things I suggested.
