My family owns a tree farm. Not Christmas trees, I'm talking big timber trees. We sell to lumber companies. Some jerks from Greenpeace developed a problem with that and decided to come spike our trees. I happened to be out hiking and caught them. One shouted out that I was a [expletive deleted] tree-killer and came at me with the framing hammer he was using. I had my trusty walking stick/quarterstaff. He never stood a chance. I blocked his first swing. It was also his last. I smashed his fingers against the handle when he pulled back for another swing. Then I went to town on him. I had him out cold in no time flat, two cracked ribs and a concussion from a double hit to both sides of his head. He was with two others. One tried to run, and managed to trip right over a tree root and fall into the stream.

The first is going to be in jail for a while. The other two, I'm sorry to say, are scheduled to get out next year.
