Tree-Sitters Hurling Toilet Waste at Arborists?

Charming. The spoiled children high atop the Berkeley redwood have, of course, resorted to (allegedly) throwing their urine and fecal matter at arborists trying to get them down. (Yeah. Fight the power. Idiots.) If you recall, some people under the false impression that they're making a difference have quickly turned an attempt to save a patch of trees into one of Berkeley's most massive protest fails to date. They are scheduled to get ripped from said trees any moment now.

TERROR-BORISTS U MEAN!!!!!1!

(Heh.)

 

That was a shitty pun, if you don't mind me being pissy.

 

They've made their point. Now cut the tree out from under them like the dirty poo-flinging monkeys they are. That $*&t is disrespectful, literally.

 

I'm with badgurl, cut the tree down, loonies in the branches come down, too. Problem solved.

 

Yes, there is nothing that an environmentalist loves more than untreated human waste scattered around the topsoil. Stay classy kids!

 

I was attributing the shitty pun to the persona of a pro/Tree-sitter.

Keep up.

 

You guys live for snark. You must be under the false impression that you are humorous or cool in some way.

 

"snark"

really? still?

 

Ok, snark and pointless trendiness.

 

If you follow the links, all the actual article says is "in past attempts to remove them, tree-sitters have hurled buckets of toilet waste at the arborists."

It says nothing about "toilet waste" in current attempts.

 

Oh well that makes it OK then

 

On the original post, there's a comment:

So, with protesters tied to the base of the tree and others pouring poo from the top… is it fair to hope some of the shit will hit the fans?

It made me chuckle.

 

Tasty snark.

 

nothing says "evolved" like flinging poo.

this was a big fail. there was a point at first to all of this but once this got taken over by the trustafarian left, it went to heck. it's too pricey for hippies to live in the bay area anymore, and lefty leftyloo Berkeley cut the trees down, despite all the poo!
