Auburn University pruned the poisoned oaks at Toomer's Corner on Wednesday to remove weakened braches before the fall football season. Officials said fans ...
oh christ here we go....first it's animals are more important than
humans....we can watch humans fight but not dogs b/c they must be that
special....now we're choosing trees over people..we'd rather punish a dude
than just say fuck that tree...christ i just burned 2 in a
campfire..........christ we are slaves in america...not a damn thing has
changed....we're all just goyem to the people in charge...chattel property
Earlier this year in Florida someone burned down "The Senator", the 5th
oldest tree in the world. They caught who did it, which is good. Turned out
to be some meth fiend. Was just terrible. People think "What? It's just a
tree!" and don't realize that most trees have been alive longer than them.
Spike 80DF, when pure copper sulfate just won't offer long-term control
solutions for tough woody invasive species such as oak, tarbush, creosote
bush, multiflora rose and sagebrush.
The man allegedly responsible for poisoning the live oaks at Toomer's Corner where Auburn fans have long celebrated big wins has been arrested and charged ...
You think it is right Auburn students celebrating Bear's death by TPing
those trees? He was a great coach and he dominated for a long time but at
the end of the day he is a person and has a family. Aub Fans laughing about
his death is low. What is real funny is how scared they were when he was
alive. At the end of the day the DBag was wrong for what he did to those
trees but hanging jerseys from bear's statue and making fun of his death?
grow up tree hugers! U reap what you sow Roll tide Roll
As a 57 year old, I can attest that guys my age are at the beginning of old
age and still haven't shifted over into a food supplement habit. Clearly,
this guy's brain could no longer realize the severity of what he was doing.
Malice was behind an incident in which Blacksburg High School near Virginia
Tech was mysteriously wrecked, I think by water freezing inside the
gymnasium walls at 10 below zero. Drug cartel? School rivalry incident? The
building has been closed for two years now.
@IronicallyVague Actually That would be a very good thing if every non
black would JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!! But unfortunately they don't ......
1..one of you always has to call us monkeys 2..or one of you women is
always trying to fuck us. 3... And you know you peckerwoods are always
asking us for weed and crack!! Don't want to play with us??? WHEN DID YOU
PECKERWOODS EVER WANT TO PLAY WITH A NIGGER?? YOU HAD LAWS AGAINST THAT
REMEMBER ??
@luckyjinxer As a matter of law it does'nt matter what you do with those
trees. If UGA melted down the "rambling wreck" and made it into a toilet,
the charges would be the same. I know Auburn fans love these trees. I just
wish the media and pop culture would stop anthropomorphizing everything, it
devalues human life. Speaking of identifing yourself are you a "bird of
prey" or one of the "great cats"?
I am not a fan of UA or Bama and this guy should go to jail, but I think
reporting on this story is way over the top, ESPN said "this is not the
only time the rivalry has turned to violence." The woman in this video said
that these trees didnt do anything to anyone, of course they did'nt they
are trees! not people. He will go to jail for destroying property....not
murder.
@lta6494 And to us, its not the fact that he poisoned two random oaks on
our campus, if he had, we would probably just have considered it a prank in
bad taste. Its the fact that he poisoned two of the most iconic trees in
the state, the center of so much tradition to our university. Thats why we
are acting they way we are.
HAHAHA hell yea! Tomers COrner = P0wned! hahaha !!!! Auburn cry baby
bitches! Fuckin bunch of tree huggers. Who rolls their own school,
honestly. Auburn has the worst traditions because they are UA's bitch.
bunch of wanna bes. tomers corner is gone stupid auburn fans and we are
laughing at how stupid auburn is
I'm an Alabama grad and former band member. I'm disgusted and shocked at
this senseless act. His guy is obviously mentally ill. His actions have
nothing to do with football or rivalry. I extend my sympathy to the Auburn
community. I hope the trees can be saved. Ed UA '76 MDBA
This sick old fool should not be used to give former police officers or
Alabama fans a bad name, but he does personally need to pay a price. These
trees are priceless, and Updike should be sued for every penny he has
(which I suspect is very limited).
@DoobieDude56 I like rich people. They pay most of the taxes in the USA. We
need rich people.....but I'm not defending their spoiled little braty kids.
But in the end of all this that Upkdike guy need the prison time if found
guilty.
@trwesty02 Thats ridiculous. EVERYONE at UA is pissed at what this guy has
done. He's giving all Bama fans a bad name. No one wanted this to happen.
Not even Bama fans. There's rivalry, and then there's stupidity.
there's revolutions going on in the middle east, a bill in the house to
slash PBS funding to $0, and we a take a minute for these trees.... im
totally for helping trees and what not, but come on! wtf?
@trwesty02 Don't put the entire fan base in the same category is this
lunatic. If they were all like that, this would have happened years ago.
There are a few fringe people that just go too far.
130 year tradition is over. But a new one will begins--with a plaque on the
site pointing out that Updike killed the oaks. He needs the maximum
sentence of 10 years.
@lta6494 Our mascot is the Tiger. War Eagle is just a chant, and the eagle
flying in the stadium is another tradition. So we "identify" as the Auburn
Tigers.
@ghostfacekilah00 Actually, I am from Oregon. Eastern Oregon, went to COCC
and then transferred. No racial rallies here, not that I have seen. You
should travel a bit and get out of the woods. Might help that racist issue
you got going on there.
