I always picture a row of witnesses.

Dr. J. Howard Beezard
Civil engineer Betty C. Valentine
Local City Councilman Nathan Johnson
And....
Cletus Vanwinkle roseneck. Purveyor of “locally sourced and distilled errr spirits)

Quick let’s talk to that Cletus guy to see what happened.

Not to mention incredibly stupid!!

It is fairly simple to control the direction i which a tree falls when cut!! If nothing else put a damned cable on it, hook the other end to a truck and pull it to fall where you want it!

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Regardless, I sure hope the city does right by that girl and buys her a new car.

Was Billy the only witness, or just the most articulate one?

I was in Huntington, WV in June. Nice place to visit, some interesting characters though for sure.
