I felt sick! Of course, there was toilet tissue in both trees, but what really got to me was all of the posters, flowers, etc, that were starting to pile up around the base of the trees. <br />TV vans and camera crews were out and about. Small groups of students and older people were just standing under them with sad faces. <br />This man is obviously sick or just plain evil. <br />His photo on facebook shows him holding a tiny baby (I'm guessing a grandchild) -why would you risk losing your own family over such a cruel, stupid act? <br />He has a son named Bear and a daughter named Crimson!!!! He appears to be an out-of-control, maniacal Bear Bryant/AL football fan with anger issues.<br />Linda, I pray that these mighty trees can be saved and that our grandchildren will get to roll them and know what they mean to Auburn.<br />RhondaRhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02907859886082624117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580898216375218583.post-12931065824748945122011-02-18T11:50:03.217-06:002011-02-18T11:50:03.217-06:00The man is a serious nut job.
