Help Children Have a Merry Xmas While Receiving a Lap Dance
In an effort to protest Newsom's recent budget cuts to public health departments and services for low-income San Franciscans, a totally awesome guy used a bicycle chain and handcuffs to attach himself to the giant "Tree of Hope" (sigh) at San Francisco City Hall today. The incident happened around 11 a.m. Aaron Buchbinder, 25, was arrested after the one-man protest. According to reports, Buchbinder "poured glue into the handcuff lock, forcing deputies to cut him free from the bindings before they could detain him." He was stuck up in the tree for about an hour. "The Tree of Hope," the Chron goes on to say, "was not harmed in the incident." We repeat, the tree was unharmed. (Photo: Jim Herd)

Just fence off the damn intersection and let the cars take another route.

You misspelled Newsom's name. There should be an "r" between the o and the m.
Ugh, "tree of hope"??
Unharmed? Hello! The tree is dead - how could it be any more harmed?
maybe a child's hope will bring it to life? like Frosty? Or Puff the Magic Dragon? Or Jesus?
Hm, I knew a kid named Aaron Buchbinder when I was growing up in the city. The age would be about right, too.... I need photos!
I love this town. Merry Christmas, folks.
He should have chained Mr. Nuisance to the tree, handcuffed that D lister.
Good Job Moron , SFPD overtime on Christmas just cost the city a few thousand $$$ , assholes like Aaron Buchbinder are what makes me sick of folks in SF who have no idea what they are doing... and what it costs to SF when your a dick....should have cut his arm off !
Let's protest health care cuts by getting ourselves sent to the hospital.
What a piece of shit. They should've left him chained to the tree to freeze his ass off and to be urinated on my drunk ass bums. Dick.
