    Imagine being an adult and thinking this is an acceptable thing to do. Why are there so many shitheads in the world?

      Nope, as far as I’m aware a motive hasn’t been made public. But I’m willing to chalk it up to some people just being miserable jerks.

            Neither of the above. The question mark indicates a rising tone (common in informal speech), as a way to reduce intensity and specifically not be a dick about it. It’s a polite and friendly way of letting you know you made a fairly easy-to-understand mistake (it’s basically a mondegreen), and what the correct phrase is.

        Miserable jerks are definitely way more common than they should be but cutting a tree is a lot of work. It’s hard to believe they didn’t have some kind of motive beyond just stirring up shit. Maybe we’ll find out during or after the trial.

    Edit: Oh shit! SORRY! I looked at the little picture on my phone and truly didn’t see the balaclavas until I just opened the article up on a large PC screen now!

    I’ll leave up my mistake (below) as a testament to my poor eyesight.

    TBH I never expected the perps to be black. It will quite interesting to unpack their motives and put it into some historical perspective regarding purposeful, inadvertent or ignorant destruction by European colonial invaders in, uh… everywhere else in the world.

      Wanna know how I know you only glanced at the picture?

        My little phone didn’t have the pixels to show the picture properly.

        I’ve owned up to my mistake above.

        And yes now that I look closer I can see their hands. Oops.

            And you shall know me by the trail of monuments to my own incompetence that I leave in my wake…

            Now as to my ‘argument’; it wasn’t a justification, it was more a point of relativism and curiosity.
