Root of Awe Evil: 'Tree Ninja' Caught Chopping Down Tree With a Hammer
Police: 'Tree Ninja' Caught Chopping Down Tree With a Hammer
BOSTON — Apr 16, 2015, 4:17 PM ET Boston police say they have arrested a 65-year-old man they believe is the infamous "Brighton Tree Ninja." For several years a vandal has been damaging newly planted trees and shrubbery in the city's Brighton neighborhood. Authorities have been unable to apprehend the perpetrator. The Boston Globe reports that police set up surveillance near the Brighton Elks Club. Officers caught Joseph Rizza entering an empty lot and attempting to chop down a tree with a hammer. Detectives took Rizza into custody. He is being charged with five counts of willful and malicious destruction of property, and one count of possession of a dangerous weapon. Police are continuing to investigate Rizza in connection with several years of reports of similar incidents. A message left with Rizza's attorney was not immediately returned. |

When the only tool you've got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Given the location my bet is the Ninja had a contract to supply tree to the town and was "Helping" his business.
