While pissed in 1989 I decided it would be a good idea to climb the town's Christmas tree on New Year's Eve. The police arrived & it proper kicked off. I ran away but the news report on ensuing riot can still be found on YouTube. Town didn't get another tree for 15 years, sorry.

@fesshole Funny. The same thing happened to me in 1989. Only it was no Christmas tree, because it was still October. So I climbed on a wall instead. They had to tear it down and still haven’t replaced it. Sorry, Berlin.
@fesshole I just did a search for this, and turned up the obituary about the woman who was mayor at the time.
"It is Mrs Abell’s dedication to numerous good causes which she will be remembered for."
Except that the headline "Teacher who was mayor during town's Christmas tree riot" suggest that's not quite true.
