BERKELEY, Calif. -- On Sunday evening a Memorial Oak Grove tree-sitter fell from the supply-line that is used to ferry food, water and people into and out of the tree-sit protest.
The traverse-line was created after the university erected a fence around the tree-sitters and spans from a tree inside the fenced in area to a tree outside the fence.
Nathaniel Hill, the fallen tree-sitter, was moving on the traverse line to meet his father, Carl Hill, who had come from the east coast to visit his son.
Hill was taken to Highland Hospital where he was treated for a broken arm above the wrist and a broken leg above the ankle.
"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."
University spokesman Dan Mogulof says the fall is not the university's fault.
"The accident is very regrettable but to state the obvious, completely avoidable," he said. "Things like this wouldn't happen if people who are illegally occupying university property were obeying the law."
Meanwhile, Judge Barbara Miller is set to render her decision any day on the legality of the university's expansion plans for the area.
The university also recently built a second fence surrounding the grove.
UC Police Chief Victoria Harrison said that the school built the new fence as a security measure prior to the forcible removal of the protesters from the trees.

"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." No matter how much in the wrong they are, lefties will try to spin it so anyone but them are to blame. Trespassing on private property and circumventing a fence designed to keep trespassers out is the fault of the owner of the property not the property owners according to this eco-terrorist.

Correction on post #22: not the property owners according to this eco-terrorist, should actually read not the trespassers according to this eco-terrorist.

No, if the a hole tree sitter wasn’t squatting in a tree he wouldn’t have fallen.

Trespassing on private property
Is a state university private property?

Gravity is the only good guy in this squabble.
The little commie got exactly what he deserved. But UC Berkeley is also getting what it deserves. They've been breeding this sort of vermin for years. Now they want to bitch about their infestation problems? That is funny!
Let's hear it for GRAVITY!

The tree threw him out. It would rather be cut down than have a dirty hippie living in its branches. ;)
