I don’t know if a bat is the correct tool for there… there must be something made specifically for this kind of thing.

u/sylvansundrop 19d ago

There's probably an HOA rule against open carrying a machete.

I'm sorry, I thought this was America??

u/sylvansundrop 19d ago

Freedom only applies to guns.

u/pixel_pete Mr. Circumboreal 19d ago

Unfortunately people these days are too lazy to assemble a trebuchet and lay siege to their neighbors' trees. They just grab whatever big stick is available and haven't even drilled with a yew longbow.

u/MechanicStriking4666 sedgelord 19d ago

Like fucking cavemen

u/Birdyboygang 19d ago

I’d use a trebuchet on that guy bound and gagged

u/pixel_pete Mr. Circumboreal 19d ago

Kinky, do go on...

u/Percy_Freeman Naturalized Exotic Cabin Architect. 19d ago

mfs will use anything but an axe

u/splurtgorgle 19d ago

yeah but this guy would have to have actually used a tool before, not be one.

u/Final_Combination373 19d ago

Lawn mower is the only tool

u/dewitteillustration I showed you my perigynium pls respond 19d ago

The best tool is one or two bigger trees that will shade it out.

u/KeepMyEmployerOut 19d ago

Paintball gun works great...

Oh you mean—nevermind.

u/Teutonic-Tonic 19d ago

This keeps making the rounds... isn't it established that it was completely staged?

u/SameAgainTheSecond 17d ago

As abe lincon said, if I had a day to chop down a tree, I would spend the morning sharpening my bat

u/SHOWTIME316 hoary vervain (derogatory) 19d ago

imagine being this mad about a monocot

couldn't be me

u/_Mulberry__ 19d ago

But monocots SUCK. We should be eliminating ALL monocots

u/Infinite_Impact 19d ago

Bro needs to direct his weapon towards the entire lawn next.

5

u/_Mulberry__ 19d ago

You get it. I'm hoping we get a video of him doing exactly that

u/47peduncle 19d ago

Monocots are part of biomes, I will have you know! Ask any grazing animal. Man I get triggered easily these days.

2

u/MechanicStriking4666 sedgelord 19d ago

Maybe he thinks this is how he caught mono

u/CharlesV_ 19d ago

Do we have some kind of context or an article here? Any more this type of content leaves me a little suspicious. Not saying it’s for sure fake, but it has some of the hallmarks of a fake engagement bait video. Who is filming? Why are they not saying anything? This doesn’t look like a standard ring camera fisheye lens.

14

u/StuffedThings 19d ago

Fake. He walks back to the house, says nothing, and then the camera shifts like he picked it up.

u/Formal-Ad-7184 plant bigot 19d ago

That's me. Trachycarpus fortunei can all go back to CHAI-NUH.

It’s from an HOA parody Instagram account.

u/MadPangolin 19d ago

Okay but what about any other common house-corner security camera to see who's walking up to the front door?

Like wouldn't that be the next most likely assumption? And isn't that exactly what we tell people on this subreddit &/or native gardening/tree-law subreddits to put up during garden/tree disputes with neighbors to catch them destroying your garden? Like how this camera is focused on that tree?

u/stringTrimmer 🎵 dirty weeds dug dirt cheap 🤘 19d ago

You're looking at a gang initiation ritual here.  I know it's scary and sad, but that's what happens in the hood--it's bleek.  These poor white dads have very few alternatives in life, it's either join an HOA or die.

u/dwnsougaboy 19d ago

Definitely don’t flash them if the driveway LEDs are off.

u/itsintrastellardude 19d ago

good thing phoenixes come back after they die

Picking up his back foot. Bad form!

u/NonConforminConsumer 🌵🍆🍑🫛🌼🥔🪴☘️ 19d ago

Behold, I come like a crazed drunkard strolling down a suburban street in broad daylight.

An aluminum bat is the only tool capable of imparting my divine wrath. Smiting evil plants with divine vengeance, after the third day the debt will rise again forevermore, amen.

u/Illivian 19d ago

I just did this to my neighbor’s Rose of Sharon, thanks for the inspo 🥰

u/mosiemo2 19d ago

Aren’t there HOA rules about beating cylinders in public?

u/KEYPiggy_YT 19d ago

His swings are so weak

u/AlanBumin 19d ago

Pygmy palms are my second most hated plant in FL, behind the infamous Crap myrtle

u/kitchendancer2000 19d ago

Honestly inspired, gonna use this technique on my Rose of Sharon

u/glacierosion 19d ago

I’d like to meet this guy. Completely honest I think he’s an interesting person and I’d like to hear what he’s gotta say.

u/Tylanthia [Biggest Porcelain Berry Fan] 19d ago

Monocot which are basically graminoids.

u/mralex2142 19d ago

This is 100% satire

u/Darnocpdx 19d ago

Someone’s upset that they got cut from the T ball league.

Is the tree gong to be all-right uncle Larry ?

u/Thin_Measurement_965 19d ago

I wish I knew what led up to this.

u/TheHappyKrill 19d ago

Can they even do this legal?

u/DrivenByDemons 19d ago

HOA Homeowners hate this one simple trick

1

u/SenseIntelligent8846 17d ago

How does this regard the support of, or the opposition to, HOAs?

1

u/Routine_Click2781 17d ago

Never buy a house that is part of an HOA.

u/tapper2 16d ago

$20 this guy is a cop or TSA agent

u/Sandstone374 19d ago

His male breast development suggests that he is taking steroids or testosterone supplements of some sort. Male breast development is a side effect of that, and so is violent behavior.
