SPATA, Greece (AP) — In an olive grove on the outskirts of Athens, grower Konstantinos Markou pushes aside the shoots of new growth to reveal the stump of a tree — a roughly 150-year-old specimen, he said, that was among 15 cut down on his neighbor’s land by thieves eager to turn it into money.

    And why do gangs exist? Let’s go back to my first comment to try and figure that out… Oh, that’s right, social problems. Thanks for agreeing with me 👍

      It kinda seems like you think burning someones house and job down is justified if you steal while doing it

      Its like you dont even actually understand what the societal issues are, you just overheard an adult say something kind of like that once.

        It’s funny because if the victim was a known billionaire you wouldn’t be saying the same thing.

          If the victim was only robbed, and a billionaire, you mean?

          Killing a century old culturally signifigant tree is still a crime, and unjustified by theft.

          But yeah, bud, the fact that the cultural icon of a historic tree was also the livelihood of a different struggling worker makes it a worse crime, good job working that one out all on your lonesome.

              Youve had multiple other options explained to you that dont involve killing the tree, its clearly not kill the tree or starve
