They should be ordered off the trees (which are private property after they are sold for logging) and then arrested for tresspassing if they do not comply.

State police should be having tree climbing classes at the same time these idiots are getting theirs.

Or maybe the state police could train large cats to climb up the trees and snarl at the protestrs.

"They should be ordered off the trees (which are private property after they are sold for logging) and then arrested for tresspassing if they do not comply."

Well, I think the point is that the trees they want to "protect" are on gov't property (now, whether gov't should have ANY property other than that small amount defined in the Constitution is a whole other matter).

Nonetheless--the correct response to these tree-sitters is to go in and cut down all the trees except the one they are sitting in, go away until they climb down in disgust, and then come back and cut THAT one down.
