The local judges won't give property owners permission to bring them down and the Sheriff's Department won't do it either.

Judges won't give property owners permission to remove the trespassing tree sitters?
Sheriff's department won't remove the trespassing tree sitters?

Doesn't that mean the judge and sheriffs are neglecting their sworn duties to uphold the laws? Couldn't they be sued for dereliction of duties and held accountable for the damages?

I know of no sheriffs dept that employs a tree climer. That is left to the timber co to decide if it is worth the risk to send their climer to take down these criminals. PL has done it on occasion. They have a new manager up here and he talks tough.

Judge Younts issued an order that essentially prohibited the landowner from any activity that might harm the sitter(s). Although disgusting to those who believe in the rule of law, it was probably a reasonable decision. (Flames here...)
