Hey folks, I’m Zack, and I like to volunteer my time for niche problems that are normally just too small for a system to catch and just too big to handle by yourself for folks in the Greensboro area.

My favorite work in this niche is tree work, particularly after storms pass through. I don’t have the industrial might of a proper tree service and crew, but I can normally buck and limb near about any tree in a day solo. I have a kind of portfolio of jobs on my website linked in my profile, or simply peruse my post history.

I need pictures, an address, and permission from the property owner to cut anything. If you aren’t in a rush, I have buddies that have been helping me by hauling.

I am starting to complete the life cycle of tree removal by burning the wood from previous jobs at the fire pit. If you have an appetite to byob and can handle folks venting about their poor treatment from the church, dm me and join us sometime!

If you need any kind of help otherwise, say something and I’ll see what I can do!

We hope you can come out and support some all original, local and live music with us this Friday, May 22nd at 8pm. BBR is across the lot from Hangar 1819 on Spring Garden. We are playing with bedrumor (beautiful dream pop) and Kill the Buddha.

Come listen to Dr. Rania Masri, the Director of Organizing and Policy, with NC Environmental Justice Network. She will be speaking on the dangers of large data centers and what we can do to stop them.

On August 5, 2025, Greensboro police officer Lewis Wyatt responded to a claim of trespassing at 1601 Marion Street. The subject of the call was 48-year-old Said Ezzine, who moved to the US decades ago from Morocco and had lived at the house until the owner evicted him.

Newly released body-worn camera footage shows the final moments of Ezzine’s life. He appears agitated, apparently struggling to accept the eviction and resulting homelessness. Evidently he still viewed the property as his home.

Officer Wyatt attempts to arrest Ezzine, who told the officer not to follow him, and was seemingly preparing to depart on a bicycle.

In their original statement on the killing, GPD stated that Ezzine “retrieved a weapon.” We now know this was a pipe wrench. As soon as Ezzine picked up the wrench, Wyatt pulled his trigger, firing four shots. Ezzine died shortly after.

On May 4, 2026, the office of Guilford County District Attorney Avery Crump notified the Greensboro Police Department of the DA’s determination that Officer Wyatt’s actions were justified.

In the 3 minutes and 19 seconds between the time Wyatt hails Ezzine and the time he opens fire, we can observe the officer’s priorities. As is his job, Wyatt endeavors to protect the property from Ezzine’s alleged trespassing. More important than either of their lives is the sanctity of property rights.

This is the inevitable result of an economic arrangement that gates the necessities of human life as commodities to be bought, sold, and controlled by the profit motive.

I am hoping someone can help us locate my cousin who has been reported as a missing person. He is not from Greensboro, North Carolina, but that is his last known location. His car was impounded with his phone inside, and he is without his medication. This individual responds to the name, Zach or Zachary, and his family/ friends love him and want to help him. Please approach with both caution and compassion, as he has CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) injuries from sports; he is known to experience suicidal thoughts and ideation. Zach has the a beautiful heart and he’s also made some mistakes, and his family strongly suspects he’s running from them. Please comment or message me if you have any indication of where he might be. We have family that are boots on the ground down there the last couple of days.

Zachary Prettyman, we love you, let’s get you more support. Contact anyone in your family, please, we are waiting and ready to listen.

Editing post with more info:

Zach is on a family plan, and his mom can see there’s been no phone activity since ~5 pm Friday.

Asked to leave Refuel gas station on Summit Ave at 7 am Saturday. (Loitering for hours.)

5 pm Saturday he called his step-dad from what we believe to be Guilford County Walk-In Mental health clinic. When family went there they said he did not stay.

Edit: He has been found!!!! Zach reached out to his mom from a hospital where he checked himself in. Hopefully they can help him stay long enough to heal up and make choices independently and intelligently ✌️💛🙏**🏼 thank you to everyone who reached out with kind words and useful information and anyone who was out there vibing or praying for him to be located without harm to himself or anyone els**e.

This is an expsmple of what I'm looking for
