“Only In America.”

Wait a sec.  Let’s narrow that down a bit.

We’ll call it:  “Only in South Carolina.”

A few days ago, a South Carolina Police Chief was arrested for attempting to cut down a tree in which a man was sitting, high up in a deer stand.   The Police Chief believed that the man was trespassing.  Or tree-passing as the case might have been.

In fact,  the man had a proper license and a permit to be in the tree. Hah!

But, the Police Chief, who was not at all happy with the hunter’s response, found a chain saw nearby and began cutting down said tree, with said hunter still in it.

The hunter was, by now, totally ticked off and a bit scared.  Od course,  he did what any sane person would do at this point:  he got out his phone and started filming.

The latest update from our intrepid reporter tells us that the chief was unsuccessful in felling the tree.  The hunter is apparently safe and sound but still ticked off about the whole thing.

Resolution is pending.

Out faithful reporter has promised to keep his readers up to date. As he says: “This is a breaking news story!”

Yes, indeed it is.  And, let us count the wonderful, fanciful ways it is.  We are breathless and waiting in thrall for the next, and hopefully, final chapter of this classic tale.

Be assured, I will share as warranted. Or should I say, IF warranted?
