Hey, thought this would be a great time to remind our transient college folks that it is not cool to destroy nature. Disgusting.
According to the reader, the above tree on East 12th Street between Avenue A and Avenue B was vandalized last evening by "a pack of drunken college kids … walking between bars and deciding to rip the branches off."

The reader was unaware why the tree came down, pointing out that someone unsuccessfully tried to prop it up with a stone…
