Two men have been charged with cutting down the popular 150-year-old Sycamore Gap tree next to Hadrian’s Wall last year in northern England, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Daniel Graham, 38, and Adam Carruthers, 31, were charged with causing criminal damage and damaging the wall built in A.D. 122 by Emperor Hadrian to guard the northwest frontier of the Roman Empire.
They were ordered to appear in Newcastle Magistrates’ Court on May 15.
The sycamore’s majestic canopy between two hills made it a popular subject for landscape photographers. It became a destination after being featured in Kevin Costner’s 1991 film “Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves.”
I’m not defending these guys, but holy shit. Y’all in here are fucking bloodthirsty. One of you is literally tossing out due process like all we need is an accusation.
I just recently watched Star Trek TNG S04E21 The Drumhead. A reminder how important due process is and how easy it can derail.
It’s Lemmy, folks here are ready to join a violent uprising at any moment if the banner is right
They are right up until it’s their time to bleed.
Have you met Lemmy? There’s a reason it will never truly take off no matter how shitty Reddit gets; it’s the people.
Yeah fuck that guy.
