Interesting that three of the four have Hispanic names.

They’re doing the jobs Americans don’t want. Duh.

A 90 foot redwood is an awesome thing. You’d think a decent architect could have come up with some way to preserve some of them.

All along I have thought that this whole thing was perfect poetic justice. The colleges crank out liberal, environmentalist, anti-capitalistic moonbats and then they have to turn around and deal with them on their own campus! BWAAAAAA!!!

Here at U.T., they did a stadium expansion and moved several old oaks to other locations on campus before construction commenced. I realize that redwoods are larger trees, but I wonder if that would have been possible in Berkely.
There are plenty of hippies in Austin, but as far as I know, none of them complained about the construction or relocation. They would have been shot out of the trees on day one, but still...

The trees that were cut down were landscaping for the stadium.
New landscaping will be going in (including trees!) when the center is built. It’s going to be very beautiful.
I have 50-foot redwoods in my backyard I planted 10 years ago. No big deal.

Drive up north a little and see the ones 300’+
There are many redwoods left on the UCB campus, one is even digitalized.

The protesters have nothing to do with the University. They are not students and they come from out-of-state.

Great = I get to pay for this idiot’s room and board since I’m a resident of Alameda County - SHEESH! Maybe we can deport him to Santa Monica or Santa Cruz??

If that tree sitting had happened in Mississippi, by the second day, about 40 mud-gripped pickup trucks with 80 guys name Bubba and Junior; all with huge chain saws and 20 cases of Bud, would have shown up. Timberrrrrrrrrrrrrr...........
The only people that sit in trees in Mississippi are hunters in camo, waiting for a buck or turkey.

Jerry Clower would have had the most succinct recommendation for the tree sitters. Remember his punchline,
Shoot up here among us, one of us has got to have some relief...!!!
To: SmithL
Does this mean the last tree is vacated and there are no remaining participants in this pathetic effort?

Armando Resendez, known as "Mando,'' called the protest "an act of civil disobedience'' and said, "We didn't do any harm.'' A waste of time, money and resources didn't harm a thing
