Tree Branch Breaker

This is nuts. This is absolutely crazy. I feel like Yossarian in Catch 22. Is he really out of prison? Whynot, I disagree with you. I don't think we should just move on. I think we should make some sort of preemptive attack. I think we should alert the community about this guy. I think we should get a picture of him, and make color posters and take them to every house and building establishment. I think on this poster we should succinctly describe who he is, where he lives and OUR EFFORTS to keep him at bay. If people recognize him, then they can call the police, or the parks department, or his family and let them know that Steve is scoping out their trees. Steve needs to know he can't do this. I for one feel like Peter Parker after winning the wrestling match. With great power comes great responsibility. I saw Steve doing this on one occasion and I simply asked him why was he doing this. I swear to you, if I see Steve doing this again, I will ensure that he won't be doing it for at least 6-8 weeks. The system is failing us, repeatedly, and civil servant workers -- people who swore an oath to protect the city and shook the Mayor's hand, sit on their asses passing the buck. Sorry KWAC, I know you got a hard on for the boys in blue, but they should've HANDLED this already. It's obvious they don't live in this community, or they would have a sense of propriety for it. I for one have a sense of propriety for my community, and I will rather be damned then to be an effete passerby and watch Crazy Steve fuck it up some more.

Whynot's Florence Nightingale routine notwithstanding, the trees are dying. Bad enough they have to deal with folks who don't give a damn, but now there is a guy who thinks by default the trees ARE damned, and they need to be robbed of their branches. Fuck Steve. Fuck his illness. That motherfucker needs to take his meds. Steve, you are on warning. I'll match your crazy with my crazy. The trees told me that they need me to kick your ass, and when I do, and when the cops ask me what was my motive, that's what I am gonna tell 'em; the trees told me to do it.

The cops were told of this guy MONTHS ago, and did NOTHING. NYET, NADA. They arrested him after countless pleas from the populace that yhey do something, as well because WHERE Steve last acted on his tree limb fetish: Prospect Park. The 77th didn't arrest this guy, the 78th did. The 77th SUCKS. They did nothing while Steve walked around fucking up every tree within reach, so if you want to cheerlead for them, go ahead. You perpetuate the BLUE WALL rather than critique it. EVERYTIME ANYONE says ANYTHING critical of the boys in blue, you are ready to jump down their throat. Give it a break man! When I started the thread that would allow people to relay what critique their criticisms of the cops, you flooded it with reason why it ought not to exist, and no doubt was influential in getting it shut down. Dude, give it a break. The cops are NOT beyond critique!

No one is bashing. This IS critique.

Okay, then I am misreading. Arches, I thought in an earlier post you said that he was with the 78th.... In June, Steve was taken into custody by the 77th. I don't know if he was charged with a crime then; I don't think he was. It was my understanding that the 78th's jurisdiction was Prospect Park. I'll have to look at the thread and see; I could've sworn someone said he was taken into custody by the 78th....

It's my understanding that the individual who reported freshly-torn branches did not contest the theory that the new broken branches was the result of a large truck passing by a lower tree, and that the branches found were much thicker in girth than what Steve has reputedly torn down.

I've called Mr. Ching of the Parks Department and I got voicemail. I left a message.

I've not seen Steve, nor have I heard that he is released. The online prison intake site still lists him as being held, so I am going to assume he is still imprisoned. It is unfortunate that there is no picture of him. Maybe KWAC can tell us if there is some way of getting a photograph of him for us to make photocopies and provide them to people in the neighborhood as well as to post it on other blogsites.
I am not a 'Twitterer' but assuming others are, if Steve is seen in the future, we can ably use this as a means of alerting people that he is on the hunt.
