Some people just want to watch the world burn.

“...could be saved.”

Some wood glue and 2x4s and it will be as good as new.

Stupid kid.

I do not understand WHY someone would do that.

Based on the picture, it was the only tree along that section of the wall. What would be the motivation to cut it down?

No description of the perp, so my bet is the answer would be obvious if it were revealed.

Wow, no words for this. The ‘youts’ that trash art, destroy property, start horrendous forest fires, and now kill a landmark tree that is probably a few hundred years old...makes you want to give them a beat down.

They can keep careful watch over a stump sprout. That much is true.

I recall reading an article about young kid’s brains. (Although it was younger than 16 iirc). But younger kids do stuff and really don’t think about it. Although I imagine much of it is just to see the reaction that they will get. (Like little Johnny pulling on Susie’s pony tail).

16 years old? I wonder if he rode his bike or scooter on that trail and the tree was in his way and he hid the handle bars all the time? Probably not, but...

Wow, sounds like moslems destroying ancient religious artifacts and artworks.

They are "keeping an open mind" -- How about temporarily stand the tree back up and hang the culprits from a tall branch.

"experts hope it can be saved" -- With what? Microvascular surgery? It's like cutting a person in two at the waist and hoping they can sew him back together. I'd like to hear more from these experts.

It's be like sewing this guy's arms back on.

The motivation is to destroy things that give pleasure to other people. The POS who did it probably thought (and still thinks) it’s funny. I’m sure he’ll get a stern talking to if found guilty. After all it’s not like he did something serious like video Muslims raping a woman. This reminds me of the three rock throwers in Colorado who killed a woman. One of them “liked to cause chaos”. Unlike the UK there is a reasonable chance in Colorado they will get some serious jail time.

Hadrian’s Wall is a long way from Robin Hood’s stomping grounds, and the 18th century was long after Robin Hood’s day.

A TikTok video and some likes?
