Moonbat Infestations Spread in Berkeley Trees
The arboreal moonbat infestations plaguing UC-Berkeley have spread to the center of campus, where an idiot calling himself "Fresh" has climbed into an oak tree and won't come down:
His concerns are broad — everything from Cal's deals with BP and Dow Chemical to how it treats campus custodians and Indian remains — but his major target is the UC Board of Regents that governs the university.
"They show no accountability to the students or community," said Fresh, whose face was mostly covered by a scarf [in imitation of the terrorists so admired by moonbats].
Fresh's actual concern is of course with drawing attention to himself. Inadvertently, he is providing a useful service, by publicizing the obnoxious absurdity of moonbats.
This service comes at a cost, but Fresh leaves that for others to pay:
The oak is now encircled by metal barricades erected Tuesday night, and two campus police officers are there around the clock, said Mitch Celaya, assistant chief of the UC Berkeley Police Department.
Typically of moonbats, he is making a mess:
He is now fasting on the juice of lemons and oranges, the remnants of which were scattered around the base of the tree.
As at the "Memorial Oak Grove" and UC-Santa Cruz, authorities have mainly themselves to blame, for lacking the fortitude to haul the moonbats out of the trees and throw them in jail on charges like trespassing, vandalism, and disturbing the peace.

On a tip from Mike H.

Since the university has let the moonbats know there will be no penalty for this sort of behavior, naturally it is going to spread. Eventually, the tress around Berkeley will become filled with feces-throwing apes.

I'm also guessing "Fresh" is not the word one would use to describe his, um, odor.

They should get one of those pecan or apple harvesters and shake the shit out of the tree until he falls out. I'd pay cash money to see that. I'm laughing just thinking about it.

Instead of that TV series called MEN IN TREES, they should make one called MOONBATS IN TREES. And make it a reality show why contestants have to figure out ways to get the Moonbats out of the trees and dodge urine and feces falling from the trees.

This is what results 18 years later when parents can't tell their two year old "no".

If Obambi wants everybody to go to college, then Berkeley better start planting more trees to house the influx of moonbats.

"Granny get the implements cause were a heddin' for clai-forn-ia and bag us some moonbats".

Why don't they just spray some anti-moonbat pest spray? (DDT)

Reading the comments in the SFGate story is a hoot. The typical moonbat defense is "Well, at least 'Fresh' is doing something with his life, unlike you stupid people making comments about him."

kristy,
That wouldn't work. DDT is only toxic (but not fatal) to humans in extremely high doses, and the toxic effects only last for the duration of exposure.
If you want some good moonbat repellent, try common sense and decency. Things like conservativism and religion.

"Fresh's actual concern is of course with drawing attention to himself."
Bingo! The causes Fresh claims to be fighting for, and his actions therein, have absolutely no logical connection whatsoever. Why doesn't he climb a tree in front of the BP or Dow Chemical offices? Because he wants the gratification he can only get from the attention of his fellow moonbats in Berkeley.

nevermind - i've found it.

What gets me the most is that they're paying for a two police officer guard 24/7 - which works out to the salaries of 8 1/2 officers (assuming 40 hour work week).

Out of all the ridiculous arguments the hippies were using to stop any progress on the university, the looniest was their claim that it's violating an Indian burial ground. They came to this preposterous conclusion because during the construction of the university in the 20s, a report indicated a couple human bones were found in the area, even though there was no evidence the remains were ancient, part of an actual burial ground, or that the bones were those of a Native American. It could have just as easily been the remains of a white murder victim buried in the woods by his killer to hide the evidence.
But, the hippies of course don't care about such insignificant things as facts. They just love any excuse to cause trouble, especially if it can be connected to Whitey oppressing the Indians.

Darwin had it backwards, people are DEvolving!
I feel sorry for the rent-a-cops, I believe that they are there to protect HIM from the above suggestions, but will taking a lot of ABUSE from "Fresh's" supporters.

Coon dogs, anyone? That could be real funny!

The season's open.
They taste like chikken.
They sabotaged Dale Earnhardt's car.
Problem solved.

What are the two police guards protecting it from?
Oooops never mind - not real police: Kampus Kops...
But still - what are they guarding?

All that's needed is a rifle. That's what we do here with tree pests like possums.
Posted by: bob prangnell at March 6, 2008 4:04 PM
Why don't they just do what they do with foreign terrorists to make them talk, play obnoxious music very loud, 24/7? A couple nights without sleep might convince "Fresh" to come down and "freshen up" in a local jail cell.

Looks like a bag worm sitting up in that tree. Needs to have a torch lit under his ass like we do to any other bagworm. Anybody got a match?

If there was a single pair of cojones in Berkeley, they'd yank this little piece of solid human waste out of his tree, throw him into a cell with three or four big thugs, all with an axe to grind, leave him a few hours, then take him to an interview room and ask one question: "Are you ever going to commit eco-terrorism again?" Betcha the answer would be a resounding: "Hell, NO!," repeated several times, with emphasis.

"they'd yank this little piece of solid human waste out of his tree, throw him into a cell with three or four big thugs..."
all for climbing a tree? You people are hysterical!

All the school has to to is ask him to leave, and if he refuses, he's trespassing and can be removed physically and cited. He's apparently littering and making a public nuisance of himself in general too - not to mention the possible liability the school could face if he falls from the tree after they allowed him to stay up there.
Anyway, he should be removed from the tree and charged with a couple of misdemeanors. It's a little beyond just "climing a tree", but this whole thing wouldn't even be an issue in a sane community where normal people would have gotten him down by now.

Your idiotic brand of logic is somewhat entertaining too, Anonymous. You leftards are quite funny when you attempt rational thought.

Jimbo, all you have to do is read a couple of the "solutions" offered above and you'll figure it out.
