In many localities trees enjoy more legal protections than children. I've gone through several hurricanes now and at least 80% of the damage to houses and cars was caused by fallen trees. Insurance rates have skyrocketed, and I have not heard the first word from a politician or an insurance company about easing the laws protecting trees. A permit is required to cut one down, and it must be replaced with at least three new trees, or with six trees if using palms, which ironically are hurricane resistant.

I agree with all you say regarding protections of trees, but...that is still not the point.

The point is...this guy destroyed this tree for whatever reason, and...it was simply not his to destroy.

And it is not being represented that way on this thread.
