BERKELEY, CA (KGO) -- The final showdown is unfolding at UC Berkeley. As campus police move in on the tree sitters occupying the last of the remaining trees. There have been many violent confrontations between police and protestors.
Objects thrown, weapons drawn, people arrested - it's all going down right now at UC Berkeley. Campus police in a cherry-picker are actively trying to get the tree sitters down from their perch in a redwood tree. A dramatic ending to the nearly two-year protest over the removal of trees to build a new university sports complex.

sprayed these tree sitters with a solution mixed with skunk oil from day oneHaving dealt with the enviro-nuts in the past, a skunk small borders on an improvement for some of them.

Concur.
Cut ‘em down and let the stink-berries take care of themselves.

You know, if one of these jackasses falls off, it will all be the University’s fault.

Yeah no bull... it’s kinda like the guy who got arrested at ‘07’s Burning Man for burning the man down early! Now if that isn’t counter to the counter-culture then I don’t know what is! He should’ve been their champion!

Interesting that there are no shots of the ground.

Why all the fuss? Call Animal Control and a couple of tranquilizer darts later...

These video's of the tree savers crying are hilarious! These are the same people who will kill babies in the womb and claim it's their right, but want to save a tree. Their dysfunction is so great it just boggles the mind.
