Exclusive: Fallen Angel Plunges From Tree-Perch Ending Eight-Day People's Park Protest

Berkeley Daily Planet ^ | 9/7/11 | Ted Friedman

First she was buoyantly up in a "dangerous" People's Park tree protesting "Everything," but now she's at Highland Hospital with a broken back, ending an eight-day protest which was a protest-in-progress.

Her last fall from the tree was her second. She fell in her second day in the tree and was caught in the arms of a friend before she hit the ground. "Moon Shadow," who was first up, last Monday, reportedly took a plunge when—out on a limb—he helped attach a protest banner.

Amy Blue, her latest name,joined Moon Shadow Friday in a "love tree" at the North east corner of People's Park near a crowded Haste St. walkway. The two met a year ago, while fellow "travelers" on the road. The attractive pair have put a new face on a tired tree-sit which ran out of steam and died in January when the previous tree-sitter, Matt Dodt, 53, was charged with attempted murder. Those charges were reduced and later dropped.

Amy Blue Moonshadow Darwin.

[Marty62]

Somethings never change.
Notice how they have destroyed the landscape and all the trash!

[Chode]

lets hope it was a learning experience...

[dynachrome]

Dribble a little agent orange around the tree roots.

[catfish1957]

More proof of brain rot that drugs can cause.

[Signalman]

“Moonshadow”? “Peace and Love”?

Am I in a time warp, and now back in 1967?

[kaehurowing]

Yes, this is the time of year that nuts start falling off of trees.

[DJ MacWoW]

I started reading this and immediately thought of “Princess Moonbeam”. LOL

[icwhatudo]

Ummm...where’s the grass and shrubbery?
(Drug and Monty Python que)

[bboop]

‘Amy ... Darwin.’ hahah, you’re funny.

[org.whodat]

Idiot, who paying. For this crap.

[Moose4]

Husqvarna makes a cure for that.

[Travis McGee]

I try.

[Darksheare]

“Pretty Princess Sparkle Pony”

[A message]

Yes, this is the time of year that nuts start falling off of trees.

Ba-doom-ching!

That was a classic one-liner. Very good.

[DJ MacWoW]

Yup. And it sounds like reality hurt.

These kids live in a fairy tale. I really think they are mentally ill. They are the marxists "useful idiots".

[I Drive Too Fast]

Two F-bombs in the article you posted.

[Navy Patriot]

The angel, who called herself Amy Blue ("I have many names," she said)

Among them "stupid", and now "gimpy" has been bestowed upon her highness (or not-so-highness, if you prefer).

[NormsRevenge]

no life to speak of.. falling from trees, hanging banners

Mission
Accomplished

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Dave’s not here.

[Saundra Duffy]

Hippies still exist and are alive and well in Berkeley . . . and in Nevada (Burning Man).

[Hunton Peck]

You’d think she would’ve had a softer landing, with her head so full of air.

[dfwgator]

Laz would hit it.

[Anoreth]

It’s early for picking next month’s occupation, but..

[Hunton Peck]

It’s the re-dawning of the Age of Aquarius, Man....

[Darksheare]

They have no idea what reality is.
They have absolutely zero life skills.
And in their demented little worlds, products and goods are evil while nature and everything in it is ‘good’.

Yet look at how trashed they left the area there..

[Windflier]

Dave’s not here.

LOL! You've got to be of the 60s generation to get that. Good one.

[animal172]

I feels sorry for the tree.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Occupy everything? If she thinks she can be omnipresent, then why bother climbing up in the tree. She’s already there. And everywhere else.

As for those Ohlone Indians, do they really want it back now?

[Windflier]

Did we really need a two page excerpt about a dingbat (or is that moonbat) falling out of a tree in San Fransicko? I think a paragraph would have sufficed.

I can’t believe I’m making that complaint. Folks normally don’t post long enough excerpts for my taste.

[BuckeyeTexan]

2 in the chest, 1 in the head will fix her.

[trisham]

She and her friends need serious help.

[Sea Parrot]

A nose first one and a half gainer would have been nice to watch.

[DJ MacWoW]

Their parents must be so proud. Wonder if Princess Moonbeam has insurance or if the people she hates have to foot the bill.

[clintonh8r]

I’m sure she has plenty of insurance so the few remaining taxpayers of California won’t have to pay her medical bills. Better yet, she should just sue the city of Berkeley. Just because.

[Darksheare]

She’ll litigate for her medical expenses.

[Ann Archy]

Airhead has NO insurance....exept YOU and me, the PERFECT payers.

[Bigh4u2]

From the look on the tree's 'face', I don't think it was very happy they were up there:



Probably 'threw' her out!!! :0)

[Jack Hydrazine]

It’s the new hippy cereal they are eating filled with more fruits, nuts and pieces of birkenstocks! They get more loony with every bite!

[Jack Hydrazine]

Michael Savage does say Leftism is a mental disorder. I couldn’t agree with him more.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Don’t forget that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. It’s likely that their parents were hippy freaks, too, or at least mentally ill to some degree or another like them!

[Bigg Red]

LOL! You have a good eye! I had not even noticed that.

[blueunicorn6]

Ahhhh.....the old love tree......those were the days.....me and Amy Blue screwing in a tree.....she was making so much noise that the buzzards came to see what was dying.....I said “Man, I must be really good!”......she said “No, I was lying on a pine cone”.....now I carry a pine cone with me wherever I go.

[IronJack]

The angel, who called herself Amy Blue ("I have many names," she said),

Two observations: 1) "Dingus" would be an appropriate name;

2) Satan said of himself that "my name is Legion ..." Which, translated, means, "I have many names ..."

[DJ MacWoW]

Absolutely. These kids have no idea what truth and logic are. Sad really.

[goat granny]

Moonshadow was a song by Whats his name back in the 70’s I think, also Peace Train and became a born again christian and is now a muslim....

[Jack Hydrazine]

You mean Cat Stevens?

[Bigh4u2]

No. He means Yusuf Islam.

(even my spellchecker doesn’t like the name)

:0)
