Onlookers watch as UC Berkeley began cutting ropes and removing gear from a grove outside of Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, Calif. on Tuesday, June 17, 2008.
A tree-sitting protester swings a wire cutter at workers as they try to shield themselves from urine being splashed at them from the tree top at a grove outside of Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, Calif. on Tuesday, June 17, 2008. Event on 6/17/08 in BERKELEY.
They should have just shot them!
I’ve been thinking about events like these in the broader context. Is this the type of PC behavior we have to engage in in order to save our republic? Have the days of harsh dealing with malcontents finally ended? Are all future confrontations going the way of these faggot tree sitters?
Judging from the pithy comments on the SF Chronic’s website, the tree-sitters seemed to have lost the hearts-and-minds struggle quite some time ago.
I still don’t see what would have been so difficult about mounting 24/7 guard around the tree-sitters and simnply preventing all resupply until they were starved out?
I bet she was smellin a bit over ripened.
Wow, when bullets are so cheap.
Put her in a zoo! She’d be perfect in a zoo!
Just pull a Hobbit and start lighting fires underneath the trees, the stupid hippies will come down in quite a hurry and with a few scars that will hopefully remind them not to be complete retards.
Paintball guns would be a good way to deal with this kind of scum.
