UC police have charged a man who has been sitting in a tree in People's Park for the last three months with attempted murder.
Matthew Dodt, 54, was arrested around 3:15 am after a six-hour standoff, according to Lt. Mark Decoulode of the UC Berkeley police department.
Dodt allegedly stabbed a man who had climbed up into the tree for a conversation, said Lt. Decoulode. Dodt allegedly aimed for the man's neck, but the man reached his hand up to his neck, deflecting the blow. The knife sliced the victim's hand. He was treated at a local hospital and released.
Police were called to the scene around 9 pm, but Dodt refused to come down from the tree, . . .

What insanity. To approach a guy who has sat in a tree for 3 months. What did he think the tree guy was? Sane?

Police were called to the scene around 9 pm, but Dodt refused to come down from the tree, . . . I'm sure a shotgun could bring him down.

Obviously, the angry, aggressive and vitriolic rhetoric of the left wing environmental movement has caused this tragedy.
Clearly, the rhetoric of Al Gore and Barack Obama have caused this tragedy.
Right?

Kill people but not trees. That’s what I’m getting from this. Your statement is 100% correct.

One time a deer hunter in a tree stand in TX got shot out of his tree. The Shooter thought he was a turkey.

Baby Boomer. Child of the 60s (or at least early 70s). Someone needs to tell him that the REVOLUTION IS OVER...and that his side won...just look at the Berkley faculty...or just about any other faculty, or the White House, for that matter.
