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?

The tree-sitter was taken down by two arborists...

Wow, when bullets are so cheap.

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.

Why don't they just dart them? After they fall out of the tree, put them in a cage and relocate them as is done with bears and lions. Dump 'em off while they're unconscious and they probably can't find their way back. :)
