      They haven’t admitted to doing it. One plead not guilty, the other entered no plea. I doubt there will ever be a good reason given, I struggle to even imagine any justification. Sometimes humanity really acts like a virus that earth needs to get rid of 🤷‍♂️

      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.

          Are you asking me or just deliberately being a dick about a spelling mistake? Don’t answer that. It’s a rhetorical question.

            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.
