CORRALITOS, Calif.(AP) - A man with the environmental activist group Earth First! has died after a 50-foot fall from a redwood tree in which he'd lived for several weeks.

Hold muh ginseng root and watch this!

The tree couldn't stand the smell anymore and threw him off. "Euuuuwwww. Get off of me!"

I think the tree pushed him. Think about it. Would you want some unwashed lice infested hippie sitting on you for weeks on end?

...Tuesday night after loggers heard moans coming from the area where a group of tree-sitters has been camped since August, the group said. It was unclear how long the injured man had been on the ground.

Campers were there since August, but didn't notice anything?
Too many psychodelic mushrooms?
"Wow, man, I hear music, man."

but the group said he never had tree sat before.

The tree sitters last words....."Hey everybody. Watch this!"

[concerned about politics]

Tree sitters can spend months camped on platforms in old-growth trees

And how do their employers feel about that?
Oh, never mind.
Do they use birdhouses as mailboxes to collect their welfare checks?

In a sad twist, the sale of timber the woman was protesting had been cancelled three days before her death

No e-mail address?

Doesn't this qualify for the Darwin Award...at least honorable mention?

[concerned about politics]

courageous action to defend life

And the life of an unborn infant is.........?
That does it. I'm going out into the woods and kill ten saplings and one owl in her honor.

As sad as it is, there is some humor here isn't there. Oh well...

But not a funny story. Some of these enviros get on my nerves. But the peaceable ones are generally decent folk, if wrong-headed. God bless the poor fellow and his family.

Millions of people are suffering mightily because of the economic damage caused by environmental whackos. The only prayer needed for these terrorists (greenies and democrats) is "...and may God have mercy on his/her soul". When they are all 100% exterminated, then it might be safe to contemplate whether they were a managable disease or a mortal threat to life and liberty.

She gets more points for being 150' up.

50ft, 150ft, dead is still dead!

Sure hope they didn't bleed and leave a environmental stain
on the forrest floor!

[concerned about politics]

Didn't hug tight enough?

[concerned about politics]

Are they planning on mulching her?

"a fellow activist called for help from a cell phone"


Cell Phone:
Plastic made from petroleum byproducts, gold,tin and lead(solder) all ripped from the earth, solvents and chemicals,that causes birth defects and lung and brain damage, used to clean electronic parts and NiCad batteries that polute land fills and microwaves that cause cancer.

How can an environmental activist think about using such an unfriendly product????????

I've fallen out of a Redwood and I can't get up!

[gc4nra]

Yeah, but it's still FALL!
