I agree that the reporting is lackluster, but there probably isn't anything else to report until the incident is further investigated.

But how can you assume that the police work is "terrible" without good reporting? If you automatically assume that every time a suspect or perpetrator dies, it's the police's fault, that shows a lot of bias on your part.

It’s a joke, grumpy

Yes, I've visited his setup, the vacuum system does wonders! I'll invest in a vacuum system as well some day but man it's costly

I know, right? He sure doesn't sound too smart. Pretty crappy he tied up valuable resources, but I'm glad he wasn't able to hurt any of the officers.

Great summary of a sad situation

It's pretty embarrassing how bad production value at WMUR has dropped since they were sold. They used to be quaint and quirky. Not quite as polished as the Boston stations but a well done stand alone station.

Now not so much. You can almost feel the talent try and failing for lack of resources and backing.

Terrible police work but you don't even know what happened. Seems about right for this sub 🤔

It's my understanding that Ben uses a vacuum system on his trees so they shouldn't reject the taps later.

Or the dipshit should have listened to officers

Probably had mental health issues. Ever think of that? And also ACAB. So… yeah. Good for you though.

I saw a dogwood tree the other night with the beginning on blooms on it. Sad it will likely not bloom this spring.

You want to know who else was killed at the hands of the police? John Wilkes Booth. Say His Name!

It just isn't very good sap. Sugar content is low and it's not enough for us to bother collecting. It's not worth the energy it would take to boil it vs how much syrup we'd get from it.

It’s so simple.

Yes, they really should have just left the guy alone and ignore the concerns of the person who called in.

WMUR employs idiots. They even had a headline a while back that was written as if the same man was executed twice.

WMUR is not even HS level reporting

Redditors will think I’m quirky and weird, but just for the heck of it, I spent my entire New Year’s Day with every knife I own put away. And then none of the people I live with called the police. I also didn’t brandish any of my knives around police officers.

And then, guess what happened? Here I am this morning, alive and not shot by the police. Weather seems nice today too.

That guy in Gilford sure had a strange way of celebrating the holidays.

Why is that?

I was thinking that might not be good for the trees, if you don’t tap does the warm spells still harm them?

Well, we know from the article that the police were called to that address, and didn’t go there just because they felt like it.

So sad.

They might mean that it's too warm to get a good sugar harvest. I don't think the warmth would kill the trees.

I've been feathering in higher-zoned saplings here and there in the (increasingly reasonable) chance that we're headed for zone 6a and up here in the NH seacoast area
