Wow. Gothamist just posted this video, from Reddit user TenThousandSuns, showing a "group of men in Kensington at 2 a.m. Wednesday morning chopping down a ginkgo tree with an axe, seemingly in order to steal a bike." I'm dumbfounded. It takes a special kind of jerk to get an AXE and chop down a street tree. And how many people passed by and saw that happening? Even though they mostly stopped when people passed, someone had to have noticed, and yet nobody called the cops.
Here's a pic from this morning. Anybody know what street this is?
