In my view and probably the view of most people, we have lost neither our minds nor our freedom. You seem very willing to let the perpetrator(s) of a malicious act against all of us circumvent the criminal justice system. This is not a matter of somebody cutting down trees on his own property.
The perpetrator(s) here caused about $40,000 in damage to the property of another (in this case, our property as citizens of Florida). That would be a felony in any state, and it is here in Florida too. Here is the statute, if you are interested:
Chapter 806 Section 13 - 2012 Florida Statutes - The Florida Senate
By the way, are "undocumented" trees like undocumented (as opposed to "illegal") immigrants?
