Heaving more than dung now

Apparently our neighborhood “tree people” are at it again (for full updated story click here).

The highlights include the completion of a second fence surrounding the grove, tree people trying to take it down, tree people attacking officers who attempted to stop tree people from taking the fence down, and a whole lot of an unidentified liquid burning the eyes of campus police.

This all, of course, comes after the university secured a court order allowing the removal of these “tree people.” Key to obtaining that ruling was the unsanitary conditions (read: spilling - sometimes intentionally - buckets of excrement) and the use of propane flame (?!?!?!) in the trees. Anyone up for the use of a big fire hose? Kill two birds with one stone: gets them out of the trees, and gives them the first bath they've likely had since they started the protest last December.

Hope everyone is glad they chose Berkeley. You just don’t get this type of thing across the bay.
