Why can’t someone just cut the ropes they are using to get supplies up to the tree-sitters.

I’ve always heard that a cat will come out of the tree when it gets hungry enough. Aren’t hippies as smart as cats?

(Okay, I know that answer is probably a no)

Spray the tree with grease. Then cut it down and to little pieces with the loudest chainsaw available.

My prayers for the tree.

I saw another version of this article that had the headline that the protester fell, breaking two limbs. The first comment expressed great relief that the limbs belonged to the protester, not a tree.

The University should be down there this morning cutting that transverse line.

Who gets to pay for Nathaniel Hill’s hospitalization and subsequent treatment? Society?

Let no man say that FReepers lack compassion.

"If the University had not put up the fence this wouldn't have happened," said Zachary Running Wolf, the organizer of the tree sit-in. "They created this situation where we have to move in and out of the grove on that traverse line."

Typical of the self-absorbed liberal. They had a choice and decided the risk was accetable. They could have stopped.

This is one case where stupidity was painful. Too bad it's not always painful because then we could get on with serious matters.

I once shot an elephant in my pajamas.

Look out for the panda; it eats, shoots, and leaves.

Yup. It's been proven to be a liability, unsafe, and a health hazard. Leaving it in-place only invites more injuries; perhaps the next one fatal.
