DaveinElma Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 This video is going viral today. Unbelievable. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/internet/nypd-hunts-brooklyn-ax-murderer-532901 New York City cops are on the hunt for a man who used an ax to chop down a Brooklyn tree early Wednesday morning. The bizarre 2 AM incident was captured by a surveillance camera attached to a neighboring building in the borough’s Kensington neighborhood. Video of the tree assault (seen above) was uploaded to YouTube on Wednesday. The video shows the attacker taking a total of 53 whacks at the tree over approximately five minutes. On several occasions, neighborhood men can be seen seen trying to stop the ax wielder from downing the tree. It does not appear that the primary motive of the attacker was to steal the bicycle chained to the tree (though, 20 minutes after first striking the tree, the portly perp returned to the block and carried the bike away). I'm the furthest thing from a tree-hugger but this is just sad to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 May have been a RED MAPLE, or a BLACK OAK, but it didn't look like a WHITE PINE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Chainsaw would have been faster. Should wear some kind of face protection also, maybe a mask? Did anyone else notice the cop car go by about 2:10 in the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Why does Dave post so many racially oriented posts? It evens out the Palin posts of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
