Save The Oaks Cal Tree Sitters v. UC Police Documentary Pt1

[BetaWolfRunner]

Okay these crazeys seem like the type to yell stop destroying the environment while your in your front yard trimming a bush which is actually the the act of sustaining it. those trees look over grown and unhealthy anyways.

Stupid Hippies

[stevnking]

idiots

[spyderbyork]

do hippies believe in computers cause if they dont how the fuck do they get on youtube!!???

or maybe they do use em im not to sure

[sthormah]

I'm glad i live in the forest so I can cut down all the trees I want on my property and just burn them just to piss you fag hippies off. You guys suck. If you want nature then get a job, buy your own property that has your ancestor trees on it and be filthy pigs there. If this is a free country then we should have the right to cut down what ever is in our way if we feel like it.

[jdymes101101]

i believe in ownership. if the hippies want the trees to stand, then they need to get FUCKING JOBS! and buy the land. i would just cut em down while they were still up there

[norcallogger]

@jdymes101101 sounds right to me if someone wants to control the area then buy it and then theres no fighting over it

[whmacleod]

I'm glad the trees came down. I had a chance to go to a bbq with some of the wood being used. stupid hippies. they double failed since the university was cutting down trees on the other side of campus to build another facility . LOL!

[bachataluvR]

GO BEARS!!

F*ck the trees and the worthless tree sh*tters!

[galacticox4]

take a fucking bath. I swear I hate these hippies. And i'm a liberal!

[andrewr62]

Yo brotha you lose! (Black hippie wanna be)

[hookitbigger]

They should just drill holes through the base of the tree and then pepper spray the people in the trees till the decide its time to move on to some new and even more worthless cause. Like saving sagebrush in the path of a new super highway.

[melrastessa]

I'm sorry that you really believe we should develop this earth into a land of concrete. This is the reason we're running out of natural resources - we're destroying everything. Just remember that we need nature to thrive - and I know this is ridiculous, but take Wall - E for example. That's what's going to happen. This will be a planet of waste.

[hookitbigger]

I missed that movie Wall-E. The animated cartoon is pretty much the future it wouldnt happen to be Science Fiction. The great thing about trees - they grow back. Its not like its a rock that took millions of years, its a tree that took 200. Big fucking deal its a tree that is in the way of a plan for hundreds of thousands of people. Dont get me wrong I love fishing hunting camping etc... But these fucking hippies make me sick

[melrastessa]

Nature came first, we came second. Deal with it. Just becuse it's in the way of plan for "hundreds of thousands" of people, doesn't mean it should be cut down for our own selfish needs. Take a step back, think about it. Do you see how we have encroached on the Earth? Do you see how we have taken over? This is not progress, and we cannot afford to destroy anymore. And don't gimme that "it's a fucking tree" BS. Maybe you're just a "fucking human". Does that give someone the right to kill you?

[hookitbigger]

yeah your exactly right we did take over and we can cut down a tree if we want. As for its just a tree well it is just a fucking tree. And you and your hippy friends comparing plant life to human life is idiotic. The best argument you have is does someone have the right to kill you? hahaha your going down in flames bitch along with all the firewood that tree produced.

Sleep tight in your house that is made of wood and your heat that is created from fossil fuels. Later hipocrite

[melrastessa]

"If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason."

- Jack Handey

"I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues." - Dr Seuss

Take a lesson from the Lorax.

[hookitbigger]

If vegetables could scream when they were chopped in half would you still eat them? If you think trees have feelings why do you keep eating vegetables which are in the same family as your precious trees.

Fucking hipocrite.

[melrastessa]

You're not understanding my point. Sure I eat vegetables - I have to - but they are grown for consumer consumption, whereas trees generally are not. These trees were grand, and historic, which was a main point many of these people had. And just for futher ref - hypocrite is spelled with a Y.

[hookitbigger]

I understand your point but its hipocritical of you to think that just because you say plants are grown for you to eat then it justifies you killing one plant while its not ok to kill another. Its called being a stuck up bitch when you point out my typo which btw Ill leave that way just to irritate you hipocrytes who lost this battle anyways. I am glad that tree is gone just proves that your arguments and protests dont work you wasted your time and energy and got beat down by the man again.

[Shreeversan]

So was the Indian Culture. But you are here now, so why don't you go volunteer at your nearest Indian reservation.

[ThePaperPress]

@hookitbigger you do realize that if we cut down all the trees in the world at once that we would be dead? From a lack of oxygen. In case you didn't know.

[Smalldawg17]

@ThePaperPress Trees arent that only thing that give off oyxgen u fuckin idiot.

[ThePaperPress]

@Smalldawg17 It's sad you need to swear at me to even try to offend me. obviously your brain does not have the capacity to produce a good insult. so sad.

[Smalldawg17]

@ThePaperPress Its sad that you have no logical response, and have to resort to the only thng you possibly can do in a situation where you get put in your place; which most people do in this situation. Sit behind your laptop and talk shit.

[ThePaperPress]

@Smalldawg17 Well now I don't think you exactly made a logical response there either.

[santiagojessie]

If the tree is not going to be cut down why are they not just building around it More lies.

Send food to sitters Via helicopter.

[ajhulagirl]

luv cal!

[moneylynch43]

huh? did u just change views in the middle of a paragraph?

[shineyourlovelight]

i've been watching these vids. there is no real cause for these "hippies" ---they wish. julia butterfly hill had a real cause. this is nowhere near the same. these are active posers!!!

[moneylynch43]

LOLLL at the guy who starts talking at the 4:20 mark. He literally talked for 3 minutes and didn't say a SINGLE truthful thing. Wow...that was actually impressive to be THAT misinformed.

Dude doesn't know that ALL but 3 of the trees were planted AFTER WWII BY the University. 

The BEST part of the protest is that the 3remaining tree-sitters are ALL in a tree that isn't going to be cut down! hhahahahah

[thymeline]

Misinformed/ Everything he said is confirmed on verious instances on the web. FYI he does say that those trees were planted, but that they were planted as a concession to earlier protest that have been at that site because apparently other things have been going on there, he mentions nuclear.

I doubt he is that misinformed. Maybe it is you, you just don't know that it is true.

[shineyourlovelight]

well dude, moneytynch, get ur facts straight 2. or shut up. these "hippies" have no real cause. the wish. julia butterfly hill had a cause. these wanna-be activists are POSERS! do somethin' real for our environment--get a REAL CAUSE. dont makes REAL kids look bad.

[erielhonan]

Hi, I'm the guy from 17:30-20:12 of this video, and I still approve my message :-)

[CNNfan]

Good reporting by zennie62.

[Glyvxx]

After this and the marine recruiters leave?

What will these idiots protest next? THEIR RICH PARENTS?

[erielhonan]

@Glyvxx - please make note that neither this protest nor the Marines protest are driven by Berkeley students. The Marines one is Code Pink, which is ostensibly a bunch of grannies. The tree one is a coalition of NIMBY aesthetes and (the ones in the trees) anarchists. In both cases they are either too old or too cool for school.

[Glyvxx]

Just so you know...the Long Haul bookstore is the rich kid hang out in Berkeley.

These kids need a job or perhaps to live in Hayward.

Now, I could give a shit about the tree sitters...But they need to vacant the trees and let the public enjoy them.

But I do agree with you on civil disobidience...These kids just want to rebel against authority.

[trevorcorkery]

I'm starting to wonder if living in a free societly is all it's cracked up to be if gives a voice to the treetards.

[Glyvxx]

Have you ever talked to the protesters? One of them got arrested in front of me and he blamed the "fascist capitalist system". They think they live in a police state, but they have more freedoms than most people do in the world. While I think America is in a decline, I also appreciate what I have here...Most of these kids have rich parents.

That is there idea of winning an arguement...the borgeious children of the rich rebelling against their parents with everyone else caught in the crossfire.
