Auburn's Toomer's Corner Oaks poisoned

[Senusret I]

Realistically though, is this even a felony?

[carnation]

Yes, because of the thousands in property damage. Once the trees and shrubs begin to break dormancy in the spring, the herbicide will really take effect and could damage the majority of the landscape in that area.

Also, isn't it a felony to misuse pesticides?

I don't know the Alabama laws about pesticides anymore--I used to be a licensed applicator--but surely it is.

This is unreal, the guy is actually from where he told the radio show host that he was. He is that crazy. I can't wait to hear what his neighbors say about him.

He really is Al from Dadeville! Maybe he thought he'd be some kind of a folk hero...?

So sad, that someone is this sick and crazy! Those trees are so beautiful. I say let the Auburn fans at him, jail would be too good for this man....

So wait. You TP the trees when the football team wins? Who takes it down, or does it just fly away? And yinz think we're weird because we wear jeans to football games.

On a serious note though, that is an utterly effed up thing to do.

Who is Al from Dadeville, aside from a nut?

He called in saying he was "Al from Dadeville." I don't know how large Dadeville is, but there can't be too many guys there named "Al." He didn't care to disguise himself.

Working in Athletics, we all have been talking about how awful this is. I mean seriously what a freak. I hope he doesn't sleep at night for the rest of his life. Apparently there is a press conference this morning, I guess the suspect has been found.

In Charlotte-Mecklenberg, he'd probably get the death penalty.

They tried to fine a restaurant owner here HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars (literally) for TRIMMING his Crepe Myrtles. Guy shoots someone here on school property in broad daylight with twenty witnesses and gets probation. Trees are serious business.
