He destroys her flowers

Jem is so angry about the comments Mrs. Dubose made about Atticus being no better than 'the people' he is defending, that the takes Scout's baton and ruins all of her flower bushes. He does this out of anger and impulse, trying to defend the name of his father and his family.
