I am going to go out on a limb here, but I suspect the perp was looking to make some easy paper, but after cutting it down they had no idea how to fence it.

Don't you think this thread has branched off enough already.
Maybe it was a protest against lefty paper leaflets

an interesting perspective ..... " I disagree with a political view so I get to destroy some thing of significant historical or cultural importance? "
I hope you are just trolling/joking because if not I hope you never do jury duty!.

Because that's not believable?
Just Stop Oil activists throw soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers
Protesters then glue themselves to wall beneath painting at National Gallery in London

I'm betting the real motivation is equally as moronic.

Was talking about this with the missus earlier. Our best guess is that the guy was annoyed by tourists coming to see the tree and decided to act.
You know the painting was behind glass and not hurt, right?

Yes. Did they know?
Caporegime
Why did you suggest they destroyed it, then? And, yes, they did.
They may be a bunch of counter productive **** but they aren't destroying artefacts of historic value to make a point.

Failure doesn't alter their motive.
I'm not sure what your point is here. Are you saying it's impossible that the tree was cut down as some kind of a protest?
I doubt the courts will give a judicial sentence, it's unlikely he'll turn over a new leaf.
Soldato
Only if they get the charges to stick.

The case will be trunk-ated, there will be no leaf to appeal before em-bark-ing on a lengthy sentence.
