UC Berkeley police arrested one of nine people who walked out on a fourth-story ledge of UC Berkeley's Wheeler Hall at around 1:45 this afternoon, protesting budget cuts to higher education and campus layoffs.
Police said the protester left the ledge and entered a classroom, but protesters claim police pulled him down.
Some of the remaining eight protesters continued to be chained to the building's stone pillars as hundreds of students gathered on the steps below shouting the now-familiar mantra, "No cuts, no fees, education must be free!"

“fourth-story ledge”
Idiot libs.
Jump! Jump!
Teach them to jump!
Wish I were there, would have been yelling jump.
Give us more money we didn’t earn, and continue to punish those who create tax-paying jobs... or else we’ll make threats, cause damage, and endanger ourselves and others!
Jump! Head first!
Where’s a gust of wind when you need one?
(Sorry these idiots bring out the worst in me)
Hey, I'll go along with that as long as all the profs, administrators and labor work for free.
We need to show them the stairway to the top of the Campanile, that would be a much better place for the protest jump.

Van Halen - Jump!
Spray the ledge with 10W30.
>”Where’s a gust of wind when you need one?””< Or a sling-shot.
That is quite a bit more than the "education" these kids are getting is worth.
“No cuts, no fees, education must be free!”
How interesting, that they weren’t protesting that their professors should teach them on a voluntary basis. If they really expect education to be free, that means no money should be involved, including for salaries, doesn’t it?
In reality, they’re protesting that other people aren’t paying enough to cover their education. Because if they really believe education (or any other service) can be provided without any expenditure at all, they simply don’t have the intellectual capacity to be attending a university in the first place, and they should be disenrolled.
They're not worth anything, so why pay them anything!
"No guts,
weak knees,
Step off the ledge,
Enjoy the breeze!"
They should adopt “The Berkeley Jump Around”
