  • FRIENDS REQUEST ME

  • In case people didn't read.... it says in the description that these are PUBLIC fruit trees. They didn't steal anything from anyone.

  • @MsJokyo And just incase you didn't watch the video, they were clearly reaching over people's fences and shit. But in their commy world, "public" mean everything, because in their world nobody owns anything.

  • funny that people call fruit pickers stealing...wtf? Its fucking fruit.

  • Stealing

  • fucking hipsters - was fixes now there getting a boner over fruit .. oo fucking cool.. not.

  • i dare some jerkoff to try this shit in my neighborhood...

  • 3:20 to 3:33 is the whole video .. teaching people to take what is not theirs .. and "show ya how it's done!" .. have no idea where it the tree is planted to say they can say it's theirs.. fuck that hanging rule shit! i never heard of it!

  • Comment removed

  • These fuckin fags are charging these people to learn how to steal!

  • In Texas, if someone is on your property at night, you can shoot them. It's not against the law.

  • This is so fucking stupid n I'm pretty sure all that white ppl got enough money to grow there own fukin trees

  • This guy is a freeloading douche

  • "These are what we call public fruit, even if the tree is growing on private property, grown for private consumption, and behind this gigantic private wall which I'm guessing is to keep the public out, it's public fruit people! Watch me use my stick everybody! Isn't it awesome?! Mmm sour oranges you guys, isn't this great?! My stick cost me 10 dollars but these oranges are free! Why pay 99 cents a pound at the store."

  • It had to be in California, of course.

  • i assumed when i clicked they were picking from a public areas like a park or trees naturally growing in the urban environment. sounds cool to me, why let it go to waste?i didnt like that they took oranges from what was clearly someones yard, what the hell. i think the idea of trees PLANTED and INTENDED for public use is rad, why couldnt they spend their good time on that rather than tip-toeing about plucking on a technicality? their site is down, so maybe im wrong, but thats what it seems like.

  • DIE! HIPSTER DIE!

  • i wonder how long the 4 million people of la could survive solely by foraging a few scattered fruit trees

  • Why sustain LA anyway? It was built in a desert!

  • I love how youtube promotes SHITTY videos!!!!

  • Stealing. Great. That's what 'intellectual' moonbat libs do. "Legal stealing"? Seriously? Again, liberal 'progressives' digressing the human race by redefining words.

  • ugh..its hipster nation...gross.

  • forage at nighttime cause when its dark, its harder for the fruit owner to catch you when he's chasing you with a baseball bat

  • fuckin hippies... -.-

  • fags

  • so basically they're stealling on a technicallity, which they aren't keeping consistant. one of the first trees they took fruit from, while may have been hanging over the sidewalk, had no fruit over the sidewalk, they reached over the fence to pick it. no matter how you look at it that's stealling.

  • so .. these hipsters move to la because its cool. la overcrowds. then because of high taxes and zoning, they cant afford to live in la. so they raze a couple orchards for yet another subdivision, all the while bemoaning the influence of corporate agriculture and the demise of the family owned farms finally they get led around like sheep by what looks like the village peoples gardener, and you wonder why people would like to put salmonella on their fruit?

  • I think everyone in this video falls in the category of "public fruit".

  • This could start a really cool movement of community planting and harvesting. But I agree, someone HAS to do a parody. This is hilarious.

  • I wish someone would steal the fruit from my apricot tree. save me from having to constantly pick them up after they have fallen.

  • @Shadowsrose669 put a sign in your front yard that says "free apricots if you pick them yourselves"

  • Stealing other people's fruit. Ugh.

  • Girl in the red shirt has some nice titties.

  • @gerfall And they're on the sidewalk! Help yourself. :-)

  • @practicalwhacktical It's only "legal rape". Right?? Going off of their logic.

  • @gerfall Only if it's sustainable.

  • Fucking hipsters.

  • Comment removed

  • pilfering hipsters

  • Well if these morons tried to pick some off my trees claiming it's "fair game" they'd get their asses kicked for STEALING off my trees!

  • someone needs to do a parody of these retards ASAP.

  • This is essentially thievery and the claim that tree branches hanging over the property line is "public fruit" is nothing more than the rationalization to explain away this thievery. The ONLY time it is allowed to trim back tree branches when said branches pose either a threat or obvious nuisance. All other actions are destruction of property and should be treated as such.

  • These people are extremely awkward. Anybody get that kinda vibe?

    It's like I was watching one of those horror serial killer movies where the whole town is nuts and worships some kind of mysterious being.

  • @TheRuneScapeFanboy That's exactly what I was thinking. They also look like they are smug ass hell.

  • it would be fun to kill these people, they are freaks. These people would be the type of people i would kill, skin, and gut for sexual pleasure...

  • As a 3rd generation middle class white German Long Beach, California resident who grew up on & around properties planted with fruit trees. I grew up with the rule that any fruit over the fence was for the neighborhood to enjoy. Also, if a neighbor knocked on our door then they could pick in our yard any fruit within arms length, no climbing on ladders, or in trees. We have never turned away a person because of their nationality, only because of their attitude- if they wre respectful or not.

  • next time someone catches wind of an event like this going on...

    collect your dogs poop and make sure to liberally brush it on your "public fruit" ie all the fruit hanging over the side walk.

  • great hipsters are stealing fruit now.

  • this is just asinine, if someone was actually starving and needed food they would be in jail. "Progressive" middle class white people call it foraging, it's all good. GTFOH!

  • what a bunch of assholes. I'm saying this as a white liberal.

  • Comment removed

  • or you could just go to the supermarket

  • Also if these people park on the edge of their drives and not DIRECTLY in them (like near the sidewalk) does that mean I can steal their cars?

  • These aren't poor people who are hungry. these are rich white people who can apperantly afford to steal from others in the name of "foraging'' or whatever. Like really what the fuck?

    You most likely won't see a black or hispanic person doing the same because of a fear of getting arrested, even if said minority person was of the same economic status.

  • @TheRowdyTiger Bringing race into the issue only promotes racism. As soon you want to start pointing out why it's so terrible white people are doing this (simply doing something positive for a good cause, it's not saving the world but why's it wrong), then you are only furthering the idea that there is some severe difference in race that needs to be identified and separated.

  • @ringo45 The fuck are you talk about? There ARE often differences in ways races think socially (notice often)

    upper-middle class black people and hispanics get arrested for things whites in the same class wouldn't.

    I'm not calling the foraging snobs racist I'm saying they're getting away with stuff my black ass wouldn't

  • @TheRowdyTiger

    Anyone can get away with this, no matter what background or race. Just wear official looking uniforms with a hard hat and appropriate basket. People will think you are just part of the city.

  • @TheRowdyTiger Your right, The blacks and Hispanics will steal from food stores and the white man will forage for public fruit. Fucking retard.

  • @TheRowdyTiger Actually, theres laws in north america that if you let your trees grow over a fence or lean onto public or private property, you can do whatever you wish with it, that includes taking the fruits, thats what the fuck

    Second of all thats just a blatant assumption, i could just as easily pull a race card out and say that some areas white people couldnt go in for fear of being robbed by other races because jackasses like you assume they are all RICH which believe me is not the case

  • These fake westside do-gooders disgust me. They make a big show out of wanting to save the world and "celebrate diversity," but deep down they disdain anyone who isn't upper-middle class or into "progressive" politics. When is the last time you saw one of these save-the-Earth Santa Monica housewives doing literacy work in Watts? When is the last time you saw one of these eco-friendly-fruit-pilfering hipsters handing out oranges in Pueblo Del Rio? These people are about image, not substance.

  • @TheGrayChannel Hell yeah man, cheers.

  • @TheGrayChannel --  How sad your life must be for you to be so bitter. Try to be happy. ;)

  • @JoeBzowx You sound like an asshole and I hope you realize it. This person, as any other person, has the right to disagree with and be angry at things. You're calling him a sad bitter person just because he made a totally valid point that I'm assuming you disagree with.

  • @TheGrayChannel Thank you for saying this. Youtube loooooooooove this shit and pimp it constantly. I woudn't bother even visiting this channel, but I know youtube will keep putting this sort of thing up even with few views.

  • @TheGrayChannel screw these hipsters. i'm about free food.

  • @TheGrayChannel So someone wanting to do something good is a bad thing just because it's not in the absolute worst area in the world? Because people are starving in Africa, we shouldn't create better practices here? I've personally met the guys behind this collective, and they are great people. They recently put together an incredible art exhibit that brings enjoyment to thousands of visitors. What in the world is wrong with any of this? Stop complaining and make your own substance.

  • @ringo45 Despite what the people in this video would have you believe, we're not facing a shortage of food on this planet. The fact is, the people in this video are exhibitionists who are saying "LOOK AT ME WORLD! LOOK AT WHAT A HEROIC ECO-WARRIOR I AM!" Real heroes don't make inane spectacles out of themselves by engaging in trendy pastimes which do nothing to make the world a better place. Instead, they work quietly behind the scenes to address real problems and make real changes.

  • @TheGrayChannel

    I live is a shitty neighborhood and people here need to do this and they don't. The Santa Monica housewives don't have to step a foot on Watts because why would they? I just came from the Watts Towers and saw a great performance, great city. Let the mothers in Watts take care of their children's literacy. And I'm sure these dudes would hand out free food to anyone. Have you heard of Food Not Bombs? Many people that volunteer for that organization are well off. You are a douche.

  • @raybanfandom Thank you for your articulate and classy response. You certainly proved that I'm the one in the wrong.

  • @TheGrayChannel

    Anytime. Next time you are in the neighborhood shooting film of our awesome graffiti, make sure to give a fatherless child some big brother love and maybe you can teach them how to read too.

  • I could not agree more these people frustrate me

  • @TheGrayChannel

    Exactly

  • Is this a joke?

  • Are you kidding me? I would be fucking pissed if I saw a huge ass group of idiots picking fruit off of my tree because it's "fair game." Grow your own damn trees and don't steal.

  • @PaulasSoAwesome

    They do this shit all the time, ima pop that bitch N1gga wit ma 9ne

  • wow peoples fruit hanging over the sidewalk=all good and legal?

    thats still really fucked up, go plant your own shit.

  • Welcome to Azeroth

  • this is wrong. if you want fruit, go and buy it or grow YOUR OWN tree. even if people have an over abundance of fruit on their trees it IS NOT OK for you to take any of it without permission. you can say its over the fence its "public", but jeez do you really NEED the fruit???! not as much as a homeless person does. support your local growers and go BUY it and not STEAL it like you are showing here.

  • Fucking hippies.....

  • Carlin warned me about how strange california is.

  • Where are the black people?

  • @Broyale26 only white people would do something this stupid, and i'm white.

  • Hey this video is really cool, but i think "Hella Fk'd Up By: Josh Taylor" is a muuuuch more interesting video. I watched it over and over again haha

  • These people would survive doomsday. Others who rely on walmart would just perish.

  • @bishonenboy you're a hater stfu.

  • Comment removed

  • Sooo... if the bumper of my car is hanging over into the street, does that make it public property too?? What about my mailbox? ... what if, let say, my kids leave their bikes on the sidewalk... is that fair game to the wandering public?

  • To me it look like a Leprechaun ...

    WHO ELSE SEE A LEPRECHAUN SAY YEAH!?!

  • Always, always wash your food with mild soap and water before eating it, especially if you pick it from the wild or "urban" environment. Even if you grow it in your garden, bugs defecate and passing animals urinate on it. When preparing it for eating or cooking, cut open fruits and vegetables and inspect them for grubs. Cut away and throw away the part that was occupied by the grubs.

  • Not hipsters, just dirty freegan hippies

  • Comment removed

  • Greedy ass pickers .. Instead of saying "fair game" (asshole) why dont these pricks grow some their damn selves too make this world 1 less angry person trying to grow their shit??

  • @Mrjokin420 see top comment.

  • It's Night ....Ow well better drink my own piss

  • Heh I guess Americans should indeed train themselves in "urban foraging" now. This shall prove useful and maybe prevent a bloody revolution when their country eventually goes broke.

  • laughing at the people on the other side of the fence watching someone take oranges :p

  • Im going to use lead in my plant fertalizer and inject rat poison into the oranges =)

  • do cumquats taste like cum ?

  • Share some fruit you greedy fucks. Not everything on this earth is yours. Spread the wealth instead of letting it spoil in your front yard. I have no clue what a hipster is but looks like there doing a lot more than most people do with there fruit trees.

  • Hipster fucks

  • I did this with some friends recently and three of us got worms. One of the downsides to be aware of...  Good job guys for getting the word out.

  • I'm going to shoot myself if I see the word hipster again, jesus what an overused word.

  • Yada Yada Yada indeed.

  • HA i use to pick from that EXACT fig tree on way from school everyday!

  • i live in Miami and have mango and avacado trees in my yard. i share with my neighbors and family, but about 3 yrs ago i shot a guy in the ear with my pellet gun, all i remember was the screaming as he jumped back over the fence and took off down the alleyway.

    NO ONE has the right to take ANYTHING from someone else WITHOUT permission,

    theses modern day hippies no exempt either ! the pellet in the ear was better than if i would have let my 2 Rotties out !!!

  • lol so fuckin stupid

  • stupid hipsters and their gay little foraging

  • @Gregd8888 How is picking fruit gay?

  • @spacegodzilla360 Maybe gay was the wrong word, I'm sorry if I insulted your lifestyle. How about "annoying and pointless as fuck"? I would make fun of these asshole hipsters relentlessly if I saw them eating weeds on the sidewalk.

  • @Gregd8888 I'm not gay, and is gathering food for consumption really "pointless"?

  • @spacegodzilla360 Uh yes

  • @Gregd8888 That's your response? HAHA the comedy provided by the closed-minded, whatever no need to further continue our conversation.

  • Die hipsters, die.

  • this video is ripe for parody

  • So many people gathering fruit from people's yards, THAT'S CRAZY!

    I remembered picking pomegranates from an old man's yard when I was a kid but I had to be careful cause he had an aggressive pitbull.

  • i fucking hate these hipsters i hope they forage eachothers corpses.

  • @JFAINTER88 hate much?

  • @JoserRocksDawg if u only knew. read top comment. america is failing. i hate that. hipsters contribute to failing it.

  • Don't steal my peaches, bitches!

  • Downside to doing this in Arizona is most of the orange trees are decorative oranges, which are edible but absolutely disgusting.

  • fucking hipsters

  • Fertilize your oranges with lead. Kill a hipster.

  • ....what?

  • Kinda making a big deal about nothing.  If you see fruit and want to pick it, then go ahead. Why make it such a mission?

  • if you research into them, they organise a lot of public events, to try and get the community involved with each other. such as public fruit jam sessions, where people are invited to come and make jam from the fruit they picked on their tour. i think thats a mission-escq.

  • So true Pharcyde . most folks automatically equate fruit with the Supermarket though. The Next step would be planting fruit trees on Public city areas .

  • Your great. I wish I were there. Is there a group in Chicago?

  • great vid...but lets forget this rethink bs and get right to it. stop buying stuff!!!!! period. (by stuff i mean non essential)

  • slut

  • Fruit is right.

    Yeah sustain LA with 10 fruit trees. Stupid fruit.

  • dogs piss on public trees...

  • fertilizer =D. tons of nitrogen

  • Fruit is important. And so is exposing the crooked government. You know 9/11 was an inside job but what else are the global elite involved in? Google tshirtfaction and find out.

  • it's spelled Avocado btw

  • Oh, you mean the hobos were stylin' Eddie Bauer and Gap?

  • Lmao he said Cum and the other guy said fruit

  • They say on here that its "legal" to take fruit if it hangs over onto the sidewalk. By their definiton of "legal" a car parked on the street would be fair game too. Personal property is personal property. These hippies need to get real.

  • Thats a poor analogy. A car is a specific piece of property. Stealing it is obviously illegal.

    When you buy land, you buy the plants within the property borders. If they end up outside the property boreder, then they are by definition the not part of the property.

    A fair car analogy would be removing a headlight, drop it on the sidewalk, walk away and then still expect no one to pick it up.

  • well..the police share their opinion on pilfering...if it isn't falling in the yard..it's fair game. There is a big difference between an orange and a car....and I didn't see many hippies in this clip...I guess that's strike two against you

  • you guys are fruits

  • I wish Dallas was more like California. I love

    California. Dallas is very fake and egotistical.

  • Youve got Austin though.

  • cool video

  • Your state is run by an actor.

  • @Reem244 When did Jerry Brown become an actor??

  • If you do that in Michigan people will shoot you. I have no idea how Cali people let those hippies steal their fruit. 1st they start with stealing fruit and than they'll be walking around looking at your cars.

  • That comment shows how gun happy and paranoid parts of the USA is! California must be the only saine state, it is only (Public)fruit.

  • LOL saine state are you kidding me

  • I think it is spelled 'sane'

  • Carob SUCKS

    worst fruit ever (and I've had durian)

  • hey when I was a kid in LA my favorite past-time was eating citrus, avocados, and pomegranates

    right off the trees (which were plentiful on my way to and from school). I actually had a cop tell me that as long as it was hanging over the sidewalk and I didn't step in a yard to....fair game

  • I have a Huge Apple tree and also grape vines about 10 feet from the side walk. People always come in my yard. I hate it not very cute but alas thats why i own a dog and yes i turn him loose on thiefs.I would have to agree and say these people are liberal scum. When the guy says wow look at all these people i think a purse fell out.

  • build yourself a conservative fence and you won't need to sic your dog on the liberals helping themselves to your fruit

  • You know there is a huge difference between theft, as in coming onto your property and taking pieces of it away, and taking something that is found on public property. They are picking fruit in parts and from branches that have clearly grown outside of the property borders. If it grows beyond the border, it isn't your anymore. Its the same as the grass that grows out of the lawn and into the cracks in the side walk.

    Your attempt at homophobic humor was pathetic by the way.

  • I am trying to save LA too.

  • ...'call any vegetable(and the chances are it will respond to you)'

  • I find it interesting that all the foragers are healthy middle- to upper-class yuppies who can buy all the fruit they want. Why doesn't this guy round up a bunch of hobos or crackheads who could use the vitamin C and take them on a forage?

  • Because when upper-middleclass people 'forage for fallen fruit' it's cute and progressive.

    When hobos do it, they get arrested for vagrancy.

    Welcome to America.

  • Comment removed

  • @DanielGiuditta Prosecutions for vagrancy are extremely rare nowadays...

  • You hardly see all the foragers in this video, so don't be so quick to judge. Also, middle to upper class people are easier to organize because they have things like computers, the internet, transportation and time on their hands. As far as I saw they were giving it to anyone who wanted it, including 'hobos' and 'crackheads'.
