Dirty Jobs: Last Treetards Extracted
The saga of the Berkeley treetards is over, the last hippies having been forcibly extracted from the trees near Memorial Stadium in Berkeley so that a sports training center can be built. The farce cost the University of California $1.5 million.
A reader sent in this picture of the extraction:
Mike Rowe from the Discovery Channel's Dirty Jobs should have tagged along.

Are those bio-masks they're wearing? LOL. How could any human being live in the filth and squalor that would be bad enough to force the authorities to wear protection suits and masks?

They should have used one of those nut tree shaking machines - what would have gotten them down much faster. Then they could have shipped them off to the local nut house and dumped into padded cells. What exactly did these nuts accomplish? Other than stinking up the place? Nothing. Bunch of losers.

Oh, no, they accomplished generating a bill for a buck and a half supersized to the University. Personally, I think the Uni should sue the shit out of 'em. They don't have any money? Maybe not... not right now. But get that judgement against them & let it haunt them for the rest of their lives. No book deals... no speaking tours... no New Age Meditation Centers without UCB standing there with it's hand out.

Van, the "Dirty Jobs" connection flashed through my mind as well when I heard about this.
Mike Rowe, grabbing a smelly hippie sitting on a branch: "Hi, I'm Mike Rowe..." (flings the hippie to the ground like a sack of flour) "... and this is my job." I'd watch, wouldn't you?

I like the lawsuit idea. Why should these losers get off scott free and force the university to raise tuition to cover their nonsense.
Also, 1.5m? Just put up a cheap chainlink fence, have two rent-a-cops on duty and call it a day. Another example of why you don't want government spending your money!

Actually, what I am hearing on the local news it $1.5 million for security and such, and upwards of $20 lost in the year plus delay in getting the new sports complex started and built.
People who build for a living are not stupid. They put all kinds of penalty clauses or sue when the project is held up over the decision of the customer. It this case, the decision of UCB to appease these TreeTards for a long time.

Couldn't they have just cut down the tree instead of building scaffolding and getting a crane?

Posted by: Spurwing Plover at September 10, 2008 9:22 PM
The tree may have to be cut down after all, as a sort of mercy killing, for having these libtards living in it
Posted by: ToddonCapeCod at September 10, 2008 9:50 PM
