Tree Gets Away With It

This morning a tree fell on a man in Brooklyn. He survived. He was on his way to work. He is an Engineer at Lincoln Center. They showed a picture of the man, he looked like a hard worker. I was waiting for the news to imply that the tree was assaulting the man or was out for revenge, that the man and the tree had a long, violent history, the tree was a drug abuser and a pedophile and an illegal immigrant with links to terrorist organizations. But they let the tree off the hook and the man walked away and went in just a little late to work.
