This is reminiscent of the YouTube video that someone posted earlier today with the group who was crying and wailing about trees. Some thought is was a spoof. It was not.

Somehow the building of a $140 MILLION sports training center makes we root for the trees.

They need to come out to my place and spend a couple of days clearing honey locust and hedge sprouts out of the pastures and road right of way. They will find out in a hurry that the world is not going to run out of trees.

Why do places put up with tree sitters trespassing on their property? Just mace and tear gas them out. Should take 10 minutes tops.

The University has begun the process of cutting down the trees in the grove to make way for a new 140 million dollar sports training center. YES!! About time. The tree sitting "community organizers" will have to go get real jobs--correction, get back on welfare.

“and at times sparred with arborists, tossing a bottle and branches toward the crews.”
So, its fine to use trees for ammunition, but not to remove them for construction?

Build around them. Say a reinforced concrete structure 1o feet from the tree, to above the top. Then drop several large tanks of Carbon dioxide, with the valves smashed open, down the structure.
Wait 30 minutes, then dynamite.

They were better of with the trees, moonbats and all.
