The palm tree scourge

Why does anyone do this – so senseless.

I’m personally no fan of palms in this environment, but just because I wouldn’t plant one doesn’t mean I’d ever want to damage someone elses.

Keeping any and every tree we can alive and healthy seems to me a great way of adding to the environment, providing some shade giving structure to our streets.

I say we send them to somewhere without trees, like the Simpson desert with about 30l of water and no transport. See if they still want to set fire to them if they make it back.

maybe they should be staked out. on an anthill. covered in honey.

I just hope they keep the little arsonists locked up for the entire bushfire season!

For starters make them clean up the mess they made and make them pay for replacements! Bad enough the trauma for the homeowners, they should not have to bear the physical and financial cost of fixing things up while the poor little dears walk away.

These trees are things we all look at, they’re part of our world. I’m so sick of scum who feel they can deprive us of these things. The blackened one on Morrisett st is a disgrace, how long did it take to grow to that height? All finished in a few minutes.

what happens when the palm they torch sheds embers and starts a really big fire?

destroys a home, a paddock or a street of homes?

they’d better hope that the cops get them then, the residents may just build a guy fawkes bonfire…

A whole lot in Qbn were burned last week. You might have noticed them, they’re very tall palms like you see in country towns. There’s a pic of one on my Peturnias in Qbn story. That one hasn’t been burned (yet) but another traffic island one down on Morrisett St (near Burns Mill) has been crisped, and apparently 3 others went up the same night.

I loathe evil stupid destructive people who wreck our world for us. They were talking to a lady on the radio this morning who had a tree in their front garden burned.

It’s time for real consequences for this rotten little creatures who diminish our living environment.

My niece, who lives in Deamer Cres, Richardson, had their 20ft palm tree torched 7 days ago. Probably the same little bastards.

The fire caused a lot of truma for her and her young family as it was located in front of the children’s bedrooms.

I bet nothing happens to the little shits.

FFS some people commit some pretty mindless acts.

Having had a few trees and plants nicked from our front yard in recent times I can only imagine how much more less than impressed with humanity I would be if I awoke to discover something similar to this.

They should burn the pubes of the little scrotes!
