My God a swat team??? Go away and leave the dude alone. He's upset because they are probably doing their clear cutting statics and taking every tree they see down whether it needs to go or not. I had the same problem with MEA years ago. They brought a dam brush hog onto my property to clear the line that ran to my house and I threw them off my property. There wasn't any thing over 2 ft to cut. I called them and said they could hand cut any thing that they thought would be a problem except a very small blue spruce that my dead husband had planted just before he died. It wasn't even near there right of way. They were pissed by now, came back the next morning and cut that tree down and no other. I took my anger out on the boss over the phone. That all  being said this guy just decided to be stupid and use his weapon.
