Model 'burned down 3,500-year-old tree because she needed light to see what drugs she was taking'

A young model allegedly set a fire that caused one of the world's oldest cypress trees to burn and collapse because she needed light in the darkness to see what drugs she was doing.
Sara Barnes, 26, of Winter Park, Florida, was identified by two witnesses as the person who caused the 118ft bald cypress tree named ‘The Senator’ to burn and collapse on January 16, police said.
The woman allegedly took photos of the fire on the 3,500-year-old tree with her phone but did not call 911 - and authorities found methamphetamine, scales and drug paraphernalia at her home.
One of the first photos seen on her public Facebook profile is of clumps of marijuana. Agricultural officials searched her home on Tuesday and also confiscated her mobile phone and laptop.

Governments and corporations collude to harvest ecologically essential rainforests until none remain - tears shed over one tree.

She looks like a model for one of those "Here's what 5 years of crystal meth will do to you" galleries.

Usually america (most states) takes protection of flora and fauna very seriously. Hopefully she gets a lengthy sentence

I imagine a bleedin' tree is quite a unique specimen.

Might be a religious portent.

3500 year old tree. I don't think you need to be a pagan to feel ****ty about that.

DrumSteve

Why didn't she just do around the other side of the tree?

Yakult

Dumb bitch yes, but funny that people will throw such a hissy fit over this yet don't give a **** about the thousands more being demolished every few minutes..
Their will be more old trees, unless junkies burn em or corporations destroy them.

cocoshovel

I valued that tree's life more than hers

token101

In all fairness.....it's a tree! So it's old....but it's still a f*cking tree! Since when do we actually care about how old something is when we prosecute people? We don't apply that law to humans, so why should we care about a tree!

And I'll further my role as devil's advocate, she was hot before she meth'd the **** out of herself.

22 kids killed in a bus crash is bad. I find it very hard to be bothered about a tree burning down.

Yeah that says more about you than her really

Hopeully, when all this is behind her, she'll turn over a new leaf, or buy herself a fuckin torch if she doesn't.

Some of us humans have the brain capacity to care about more than one thing at a time, you know.

You could question the brain capacity of someone that's "absolutely fking galled" at a tree being killed 8000 km away


:P

Could well be bullshít with it being the daily mail and whatnot, still though even if it's not it's only a tree after all, better than being somebodies house.

I don't see how this is galling. Why should I be concerned about an old tree in the US being burned down?

Hey dude, I'm honestly sorry if my OP was misinterpreted as a demand for everyone else to be galled.

Sorry for the mix up.

Embarrassed.

Some biting sarcasm there.

fishy fishy

she must have been out of her tree when she did that.

seriously tho, it seems like it was only a section of tree that got burned down, not the whole thing for goodness sake.

Why should we even be getting this news?
