tree sitters in Berkeley
 
I'm surprised you fellas haven't swarmed on this one.:D

I'm confused.
Why haven't they been arrested?

Honestly?


They are throwing excrement on the authorities.


Amazing!!

Dumpster Muffin?

WTF?

While I generally admire someone sticking up for their beliefs, this is just silly.

m21sniper 06-18-2008 01:42 PM

Two 15 year olds with air rifles...that would get those hippy scumbags out of those trees real fast. :)

trekkor 06-18-2008 01:45 PM

They've been in the tree for 18 MONTHS!!!

I'm sure they'll find their way down to vote for Obama.

LOL.

cmccuist 06-18-2008 01:51 PM

They've actually been in those trees since the 60's.

I used to live in Oakland and worked on Piedmont Ave as a teenager.

I don't miss it.

Maybe the law enforcement in Bezerkely is as liberal and totally screwed up as the rest of em. We should forget about the trees and put a big electrified fence around Berkeley before any of those liberal-tards escape and pollute the rest of the gene pool any more than it already is.

FTA:

"The woman, identified by sympathizers as Dumpster Muffin, screamed and violently shook the precarious perch. The crane backed off and woman raised her hand in the air in a sign of victory."

Yeah... The tazer, where is it?

peppy 06-18-2008 02:20 PM

You can still cut the tree down with them in it.

sammyg2 06-18-2008 02:22 PM

Ever seen one of those documentaries where the native use a blow-dart to get a monkey out of a tree?
That would work too, and would be a real hit on you-tube as the liberal bounced when she hit the ground.
I wonder if that idiot Darrel Hanna is up in one of those trees?

trekkor 06-18-2008 02:31 PM

Some of the reader comments on the article are hilarious.

This is what .17HMR was invented for, IMO.

MRM 06-18-2008 06:52 PM

I remember now. The protester started camping in the trees because the university was planning to cut them down. Someone got an injunction stoping the trees from being cut, but the protesters never left. Looks like the request for a permanent injuntion will be ruled on soon.

He should be shooting her in the ass, not the head, then you get the audio for the trip to the ground, better for you tube

I respect trees. Make sure you donīt scar it when you gun down those women.

That's not true.

Some of our "progressive" politicians look at California and start shouting "ME TOO!!! ME TOO!!!".

This is why we have to saw California off and let it fall into the ocean.

If we hurry, we won't have to cut off all of California. We can still save the more conservative parts.
OC isn't ruined yet but is headed that way.

More like point and laugh. I believe those folks would have lasted about 20 minutes around here. Wouldn't take long to knock them down with bean-bags from a shotgun.

If you look at a fault map, it sort of breaks down like that.

See, God does hate liberals

U C how I made that green for the obtuse ones

Just keep in mind one thing: the majority of Californians are not bleeding heart liberals. The minority liberals just have way too much power and are more vocal.
See, they like to have parades and press conferences while the rest of us are busy at work earning money to pay for their "social programs".

Putting your homeless/unemployed in trees is an interesting approach.

They started cutting the trees down on Friday. They say that by Monday they will all be gone. Cal can finally have locker rooms and facilities for student athletes. Currently some sports teams have to change clothes in their cars. The whole situation is ridiculous as the sports center should have been finished by now.

They seem no crazier than most of the folks from CA that post here...so I just figured that was normal behavior there.

I would have hooked up one of these. Set it to "MAX" and leave it on...forever.

Having attended that august institution, I know exactly what this guy is thinking: "The trees have been cut down, our good friends taken away by the man...after we shower and you shave, I'd like to set up camp in your oak grove."

It's all about situational awareness and getting laid. This guy is good. He even has a hard hat accessory and got her to hug him:cool:

This man bears watching.

I would have to qualify that with MOST of the people from CA. But other than that. just what I was thinking. Doesn't this stuff happen all the time in Berkley.

Sounds like dart gun training.
