Worth having the sound on to hear the breaking of hearts…

The wooden post was left at the end of the street, so we presume it was stolen to be used as a tool in an another crime.

How dare the tree try to defend its own standing stick, clearly it needed to be taught a lesson.

  8. Angry at the world, so take it out on everything. Literally everything and anything. Themselves, other people, just creating destruction everywhere they go. I’ve worked in the criminal justice system, so have seen these types a lot. It’s very much a “I’m suffering, so everyone else around me has to, everything around me has to be as destroyed and dead as I feel”.

    Anyone reading and had this resonate: ultimately you’ll destroy yourself. Maybe you don’t care and that’s the point.

    There are lots of people with shitty backgrounds who don’t do this, because there’s always a choice.

  10. This makes me irrationally angry.

    The amount of effort put into removing a living thing. A harmless thing likely to bring a bit of joy to people.

    For no reason.

    Whats wrong with people?

  11. His mum must have sent him out on the rob for some steak for tea…

    The thick cunt…

  12. He went straight to your tree, certainly he knew it before. Look for images hours ago maybe when it was day, you have a chance to identify him.

  13. Can this be reported? I feel like theres gotta be Tree law here as well

  16. The same thing happened on the street where I live. They planted maybe 8 trees, and the next day 4 were destroyed to the point where they looked like they were stakes in the ground. The council didn’t replace those ones, but added metal cages around the ones that were untouched 🙄

  19. Not even a group of kids goading one another into do a it.

    A person on their own on a bike, stops and thinks, “I’m going to fuck that tree up”

    How strange.

    I wish this type of stuff could get set to people’s employers to see what cunts some people are

  21. Is this Hackney by any chance? There’s somebody doing this to many of the new street trees planted over the last few months. I honestly don’t understand the motivation for doing this — surely must be a mental disorder?? I hope they catch him soon

  23. I love London, but there are too many people living here who don’t understand the social contract (and/or feel the social contract isn’t worth sticking to).

  25. Any smash and grab raids on shop windows locally the same night?. My area once had a spate of them, they were being done by moped riders using scaffolding poles like lances. He might be working his way up .

  29. Just why? Why did the single brain cell he possesses fire up and make him do this? It makes me so bloody angry!

  30. Share with the Council as they may be able to get them under Criminal damage. We have a couple of cases going on in ours I believe currently where people have put cut marks into them to try and bring the tree down. As your post says its “our” tree and it is as its paid for by taxes. People are cunts so see if you can brighten this ones day with a Police investigation. This shit used to happen nowhere near as regularly and needs to be stamped on firmly.

  35. People don’t fear the consequences of their actions. Hence why you see stupid stuff like this. This reminds me of when they cut down that tree up north.

  36. I don’t want to sound like an angry old person, because I really am not. I’m in my 30s, somewhere on the left economically, and am pretty liberal in most of my thinking.

    But, honestly, the near-utter breakdown of respect and civility in society really needs to be talked about more. Anti-social behaviour, pretty theft, and low-level crime has been tolerated for so long that it has essentially become de-criminalised.
    And now anti-social behaviour has become just a normal and expected feature of life across most of the UK. Respect for the communities, and the conception of wanting to life in nice places with nice neighbours, has just vanished in many, many cases.

    Earlier this week, I was verbally harassed and followed by three teenage boys on bikes for most of my walk home from a supermarket, which is actually really intimidating when you’re a woman on your own! Groups of lads just think it is a laugh though.

    Something has to be done about it. Anti-social behaviour isn’t just ‘low-level’ behaviour that we can turn a blind eye to and expect kids to eventually grow out of. It is a blight on the entirely of civil society that has made Britain a significantly worse place to live than it used to be.

  40. Poor little tree. Makes me angry and disgusted to watch a person do that

  42. When the earth goes to the doctor – “I’m afraid you have humans”
