Ever since UC Berkeley announced plans to build an athletic center near Memorial Stadium, about six people went up into these old oaks by the stadium to try and save them from being cut down. The people around the trees who gave support to the tree sitters numbered about four. They are now threatening to sue, which would bring the total number of lawsuits against this new athletic training facility to five.

This is going rather well, isn't it?
