(CBS) LOS ANGELES Authorities moved in to evict farmers from the South Central Farm amid the owner's efforts to sell the land.
About 50 Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies began removing protesters and farmers at 5 a.m. from the farm at 41st and Alameda Streets, enforcing a court order.
Supporters of the 350 farmers who have been tending to the land say that it is the largest urban farm in the country. Several celebrities have spent time at the farm in a show of solidarity with the farmers in recent weeks.

About time!
These clowns who think they can climb into someone else's tree to stop it from being removed are nothing but moronic jerks.
There is no liberty without property rights.

So why don't these people just buy the land? Doesn't Hollywood have the money?

Several celebrities have spent time at the farm in a show of solidarity with the farmers in recent weeks. You would think that if this idea is so precious to "several clebrities" that they would pool some of their own money and buy it from the owner, and then THEY could let the squatters (sorry, "urban farmers") work the land. That would be much more impressive than "sitting in a tree to show solidarity."

So why don't these people just buy the land? HAHAHAHAH!! Good one. That would cost them MONEY. They don't care about the property rights of others. But let one of these farmers try to walk on THEIR beach......

They should use tranquilizer darts to get them down.

Property owner wants $16 million. There was talk that some foundation was going to front the money, but apparently there was never any real offer. This has been going on for years.

Why don't the libs just buy the land and give to the community....using their own money.

As long as you pay your taxes you've got property rights. That is until Walmart wants your property.

I thought it said, "Darrel Hannah IS a tree."
Isn't she something like six-foot thirty?

That's all? That should be pocket change for Hollywood elites.

Local radio news is reporting that she is still in the tree, refusing to come down, as the eviction is in progress. I guess she really needs some publicity--not exactly good box office anymore.

It has alot to do with this phenomenon; excerpted from here:
http://iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2005/07/stop_comparing_.html
Oh sure, the infidel progressives like to talk a good game. Theyll call you "freedom fighters" and "the resistance" and "Iraqi Minutemen." But soon as you need some volunteers to take out a grade school full of collaborators, theyre like, "sorry dude, Ive got to run off some International ANSWER fliers at Kinkos."
Next, when you string up some smoldering infidel carcasses from a Fallujah bridge, theyre all like, "f__ yeah, screw those mercenaries! High five, man! Cmon, man, dont leave me hangin bro!" But where were these guys when there was dismemberment and heavy carcass-lifting to do? Updating the UBB scripts on their f'ing message boards, thats where.

Tranquilizer darts? Why not just cut down the tree?
