[pasqualebrow1230]

This video is a favorite on Panama

[RingtailNinja]

These are the great people, condemned by the Government what they believe in.

die hippie die

[CHEVYDAVE79]

Stupid fuckin Hippies...get a job!

[tearjerker2020]

Stupid hippies! The only reason they're allowed to do this is because we indulge in stupidity. Give them options. Either get the hell out of the tree or be sprayed down by a fire-hose! Something to that effect. They spent a year in a tree!? Each of those people could have taken that year to go help recovering addicts at rehab clinics, or help adopt a child or animal to a better home. They could have been helping the mentally ill or , etc... But a tree is more important than all of that?

[midnightfapper]

what a bunch of stupidity. in most of the world this garbage wouldn't be tolerated.

[megadude167]

I was almost crying I was laughing so hard when the cops beat that guy up lol

[megadude167]

Like rdemario said fuckin hippies

[rdemario]

fucking hippies!

[TheBlanco951]

Hallucinatory thinking, all under the influence of psychadelic drugs

[saltytsp]

If only these people had the same passion standing up against radical islamist, I bet everyone of them hates the American policies more. SAD these people have all been fooled to be so one sided, against their own country and people, so easily used by propagandist to see us as a big bully and then ignore all the madness (way worst madness, death, racism, hate) that comes from radical islam, these type of fools will help hasten the ruin of the world, when push comes to shove, we shove back. PEACE?

[MrAlireza100]

@saltytsp saltytsp:you seem to be so obsessed with radical Islam.well so am I .but everything has its time and place.this video is about cutting off a tree,and some student's are protesting .It has nothing to do with OBL or radical islam.and you call these people anti american ?just for protesting.don't you think they have the right to exercise their freedom of speech?I am surprised you didn't ask what are the hands of the cop under the tree @2:10 are at?it is kind of suspicious.

[saltytsp]

@MrAlireza100 I went to this video after some other polictical stuff and it made me think of how the leftist in our county act and think, so as far as time and place, I love freedom of speech, so I chose my place. I dont know enough about the tree situation, so whatever, on to you thinking Christians are even comparable to radical islamist on the warpath, you bring up Christians from WW2? Nazis hated all religions. Islamist radicals are nazis with religion, way worse then the nazis, SOO OBSESSED

[GableHawk]

My computer is starting to smell, like pachule oil

[GableHawk]

My computer is starting to smell

[bobbob2795]

they shouldve sprayed there asses down with a firehose within the first week.

[googlymoogly16]

this is the funniest fucking video i have seen in a long time

[jappanese]

this is so stupid...

[Mikcarroll]

Waste over a year living in a tree+make a bunch of noise and piss everyone off+get your ass beat by a cop+go to jail+ tree gets cut down anyway= EPIC FAIL

I couldn't give less of a f@ck about these AIR THIEVES stealing MY air.A Revolution starts with blood shed, you want change,you've got FORCE it.

[Ilovecomedy7]

HIPPIES = Internship to be a HOMELESS

[skumbuck]

Hippies, what few of the greasy smelly losers are left, are an endangered species. Tree sits are a thing of the past, maybe these losers are now contributing to society instead of disrupting it.

[chiefdoggydog]

I cant wait until we have smack a smelly hippie day

[kk1961y]

Bay area = stupid fucks

[leejae]

Lazy ass hippies.

[joshua4smarjorie]

omfg i hate hippies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[majikninja07]

whos trees the colleges trees shut your faces hippies get the water cannons

[buddyboy4564]

dirty stinky hippies. Fuck em. Think there changin the world and shit. Theres trees all fucking around and if they were trippin this bad why didnt they move them.

[JokerKillJoy]

i don't get tree sitters, it's fine if you want to save the enviroment etc. but stay out of other people's way and get off property that doesn't belong to you. Get a job, make some money, buy your own land, and plant trees on it.

[eslmc]

Nice day for something.....

[PBODYMLI]

These people spend a year on this issue and settle all bc a committee was formed? Now that is stupid. From what I understand the tree was cut down anyway. Here I thought it was this massive beautiful tree in the open but look around people...there are other trees. At least hold your ground till you know you have won...not for a committee.

[protestshooter]

It turns out that he was lying about the committee as well - they didn't get anything.

[PBODYMLI]

Haha serves them right.

[AsgardHallow]

bunch of lawless commies

[nerblebun]

Wow....this looks just like Berkley 40 years ago! In 69 they were protesting for change. Looks like the only thing that hasn't changed is....Berkely. lol

[kinsary]

For the life of me I do not understand why we put up with such stupidity. Our gov. needs some serious changes, you should not have rights if you are stupid or are a criminal. I would think these tree people are both, weren't they trespassing. Death to stupid people......

[spareaxe]

fucking hippie wannabes, out dated dumbasses.

[17REBELKID17]

id take the magapfhone away from that one bitch and hit her with it

[23230101]

Does anyone know if any of these people are even actually enrolled in classes at this university, or if they just stand around?

[protestshooter]

Very few if any were current students, but at least some of them were graduates or dropouts.

[shaydyknight]

rock on brothers, stomp those hippies

[Beingmyself111]

atleast these Ewok bastards were peaceful. plant trees idiots, 4 or 5 old trees are no big deal when hundreds are cut every day. whats wrong with you?

[brotherstan28]

Nothing pisses me off more than people who wont shut the fuck up. Damn hippies, just spew a bunch of buzzwords like they have a cause or something.

[xHallowxEvex]

This was just ridiculous. Think of all the trees cut down daily and they're bitching over one or two. If they really wanted to help the environment then go out and plant more trees you stupid hippies.

[hondacrxguy]

simple monkeys trying to save a tree....do something important like saving endangered species of animals or somethin.....its a tree there are plenty more where that one came from...people just trying to make their lives seem important.....when the dinosaurs got wiped out im sure LOTS of trees did too but they bounced back...cmon people get a clue

[Wilbur665]

they have no class.

[graverobber35]

shouldn;t these stinky bastards be in class?

I'll bet many of them are not students , just  bums with nothing better to do

[Halftrac]

ASSCLOWN + BULLHORN = NUMNNUTS!

[chicago226]

Wow, we really need a world epidemic to get these peoples heads out of their asses

[DW8814]

wow I wish California would just drop into the Ocean!

[eandaina]

i live in ca and i wish just these fucking hippie retards would stop bathing in patchouli oil and get a job. these retards doing this shit cost us millions of dollars and risk working peoples lives. protest in peace and speak your mind, but stay out the trees or when i see ya ill take my 660 to that tree without any regret.

[mexicancasanova]

For each person there. How many of them could have planted trees or watered plants rather them care for a few trees. They might think that the end justifies the means but what in fact are they trying to achieve. A mutitude of self dilusion and stupidity combined with the mentality that one can save the world by saving a single tree rather then planting new ones and planting even more then there are on the earth. They are to blind to view the world as a whole. They see themselves as the world

[iheartmusic41]

how are they supposed to plant trees when every green area is being covered with shit? buildings we don't need. they can't just PLANT more trees, and even then it'll take hundreds of years for the trees to be of a significant size. they're trying to preserve what we already HAVE.

[protestshooter]

The trees were planted by the college in the 20s.

[blackwishbones]

my lover and I spent the night in one of those trees. It was like a birds nest...earlier that night I had bonded with the tree while climbing up. I love that tree and will never forget the time I spent up there. I was also there on this day...by accident - while visiting SF. I preyed for the trees that day.

[duffer29]

if only the tree had preyed on you.

you are a lunatic.

[OSCARPP777]

dont they realize they are hurting the tree instead of saving it? had to be hippies..

[cbstout12345]

Hey I love it. Back in the 60s people didn't care about a little mark on your criminal record but now they don't want people with criminal records working for their companies.

[cbstout12345]

Hey I have an idea 2,000 pounder right in the middle. Get them all what fucking loosers.

[clubkid43]

they shoulda just cut the trees down with them in it.. fucking dumb hippies!!

[tourdot]

Wow. i cant bieleve people are so dumb as to waste their time with a tree. when there are millions of biggers problems in the world. Trees die its not the end of the world if you realy wanted to save trees save the rainforest. But come there is a war going on right now. is this realy helping any thing.

[Tetrall]

I have what he's smoking :)

[cryptsub]

What fevered egos these "organizers" have. Pathetic. Find something worthwhile to contribute to humanity.

[ickyraytrojan]

Cal sucks this doesnt happen at USC

[sacredcowmusic]

What did they smell like after all that time? A good scrubbing was had by all, I take it.

[protestshooter]

Some of the ground crew that had been camping out for weeks smelled about like anybody would after camping for weeks. I don't know why they didn't rotate through somebody's house or something but some of them were always pretty rank and others not so much.

[antimarxism]

They probably smelled terrible BEFORE they started and it just got worse from there.

Most of these people don't bath for weeks as it is.

[jsmith212600]

i have the answer...bear vagina

[RiotShield]

Good Fucking Christ am I glad I didn't go to Berkley. If I had to be surrounded by people like this, I'd go mad.

[modspell]

The utter dregs of humanity.

[LapBuddy]

Can you imagine the cooties you'd pick up if you fucked one of these buggers?

[melrastessa]

One thing I've noticed about every single Anti "Hippie" comment - you all are dehumanizing these human beings. Calling them "worthless" "stupid" "cunts" "Hippies" "tree sitters" - this makes it easier to not care about them, no? This tactic was used in Nam. The VietCong were called gooks, as a way to dehumanize them, make them seem unimportant. So I have to ask - is it possible to look at them as people? Is it?

[protestshooter]

How is calling them "tree sitters" demonizing them? It's what they call themselves...

[melrastessa]

Well at this point it has been used to exploit them as radical liberalists. Anything that can be used instead of a proper title, or an actual name/saying they are humans, will dehumanize them into objects that people can attack without feeling bad. (i.e.: Terrorists, Hippies, Commies, Tree Huggers, Radicals.. etc.) I know at this point it becomes impossible to call them anything. But realize they are humans, they don't always sit in trees.

[GOPdepot]

No. They're dirty hippies. Deal.

[subach]

What is it with hippies and drums.

[Glyvxx]

Dumpster Muffin claimed the collective logic behind this tree sit was to "over throw" capitalism.

I say we throw tomatoes at these psuedo hippies hang out...THE LONG HAUL BOOKSTORE. Yeah...Protest it. Stop these narcisstic "activists" from wasting our money.

These kids have it great. They can go back to their wealthy boomer parents homes in Mendocino or Marin and been seen as "special".

PROTEST THEM!

[raouldeming]

Stop PEACE Brutality

[guringo]

No way the UC admin came to any agreement with the sitters as that guy claimed just before they were busted, what a lying conceited slimeball.

[thebronze]

Less Hippies - More Stick-Time!

[nikolai082700]

These weak-links are an interesting study in the mental disorder of radical marxism... Maybe this perticular gaggle of blithering buffoons will smoke enough pot and drop enough bathtub blotter to become sterile. (not medical fact based... just whimsical wishing)

[Bluesub6]

The "tree sitters" should be fined whatever it cost in taxpayer money to pay for this totally unnecessary police operation.

I hope the UC gives these fuckers the finger and builds a parking lot where these trees used to stand.

[Wilbur665]

Too bad Dumpster Muffin's crazy - she's cute and would make quite the MILF/soccer-mom.

[thebronze]

You're crazy! That nasty hippie should change her name to Dumpster Muffin-top.

[raouldeming]

Kooties Galore?

[InternetSavage]

Unbelievable, all that wasted time, nearly 2 years of their lives wasted over a couple of trees, truly pathetic. But what can you expect from a bunch of dirt worshippers?

[ericx777]

I wonder how many trees dies making all those signs and papers these hypocrites were waving and passing out?

Stupid hippies!

[ericx777]

Note how the ones who stir up the trouble run when the cops come over, leaving the rest to get arrested!

Wow... what brave leaders these communist hippies have.

Can we get the Ohio National Guard in there to kill off some of this trash before they breed?

[durbanbudz]

They should have just chopped the tree down in the first place! All the money, time, and resources that went into this horseshit could have been used in much better way.

[Danman1971]

WTF!!!! Please, what in all trees that are living is this guy TRYING SAY or WTF is his POINT????? What point did he make, that people clapped????

[takerdust]

god I hate hippies. Why can't they just get a job?!

[wildabeast135]

@takerdust and take a bath



[chulahagh]

I've never seen so many people in one place hate the constitution for creating property rights.

[Ceegardave]

Cali is truly the land of fruits, flakes and nuts. The cops showed admirable restraint. Most of those treetwits needed their tiny brains beat out.

[HoaxM3Not]

god damn hippies

[mustangmike53]

Good lord. I couldn't make all 8:44.  That's just painful to watch. Goddam hippies.

[framus88]

This truely is de-evolution. Why dont they try and save all the trees that them hurricanes take out? Just a suggestion....

[chulahagh]

lol!

[yomommadodgitcom]

Is there anyone left who wonders why the phrase, "I hate hippies," was born?

[christiemalry]

Utter, utter cunts... the 'treesitters' I mean. How the police mananged to restrain themselves from opening fire or cracking heads with batons is beyond me.

[sickboy932]

Great work. You and Zombie rock.

[mainspark]

They may be "your streets" but they're no longer "your trees"

[calbears04]

why don't these people go save the rain forest or do a beach clean-up instead of wasting funds that would be going to good causes

[protestshooter]

Because that would involve actual work.

[workersbe]

yea like sports arenas. Gotta have more of those. You people are fools.

[chulahagh]

It's called property rights. Like it or hate it.

[Greg78X]

what a bunch of looser... when they are old and look back on there life.. they will say wft.

[takerdust]

Look how many old loser hippies are still around flapping their communist yap. I don't think many will say wtf.

[britoca]

this sucks. I hope the dumb sports facility catches fire, over, and over, and over again

[JMcH]

Nice subtle promotion of arson, asshole.

[chulahagh]

...and with people in it I suppose?

[R8der21]

Thanks for shooting this protestshooter....I love watching treetards make absolute idiots out of themselves!

Why didn't they arrest Chief Running At the Mouth for disturbing the peace? Did Native Americans use a bullhorn?? Guess I missed that chapter in American History.

Treetards suck....may they all end up as flys in the next life so they can lay their larva in the excrement they love to throw around.

[ross102591]

How sad. The MASSIVE waste of resources lead to nothing. NOTHING!

These tree-sitters threw fecal matter on people yet "dumpster muffin" is blathering on here about "clean drinking water".

All they did was garner attention and waste 20 million of UC funds.

The tree-sitters could've spent ONE day planting trees that(in time) would've had 1000 times the impact that these 42 trees did.

UC planted these trees in the first place and had EVERY right to take them down.

Congrats Cal! You won!

[cybrown]

Seriously...

They should have just ringed or poisoned the tree at the start of this crap and then waited for the idiots to come down from the dead tree on their own.

What a waste of money. Can you imagine how many starving kids in Africa we could have fed?

[catchmeweare]

Would they have been fed?

[raultalbot7]

Great video!

The last tree fell at 5:18 p.m.

The oldest tree-sitter Michael Schuck, 26, was booked on a variety of charges including trespass, lodging in trees, violation of court orders and five warrants totaling $22,000.

The other two were booked on similar charges excluding warrants.

Amanda "Dumpster Muffin" Tierney was seen weeping for the trees as she killed a carrot for dinner.

[SickTight311]

How did all these mental patients get out?

[raultalbot7]

So what did they accomplish? NOTHING!

"UC spokesman said there was never a deal made, and the university had no plans for such a committee." They were immediately arrested and faced charges including tresspassing and violating a court order.

There will be NO $6 million to environmental and Native American groups.

There will be NO amnesty for tree-sitters.

Trees are gone...so WHO won?!?! Not the protesters, that's for sure!

[takerdust]

America won

[tim55bear]

These treetards are pathetic lairs. Every "fact" they claim is a lie. They aren't students at Cal and these oaks aren't endangered. Their 15 minutes are over. Hopefully they can move on and get a life.

[vindogrks]

I love the UCPD!

[jankoski925]

I hope some post a video of the tree coming down. That would be quality over this load of dump.

[protestshooter]

If you don't like my reporting go make your own damn video.

[oski97]

jan, if you actually looked at his website you'd see he is neutral.  he likes to document protests not advocate for one side or the other. in fact, his comments regarding UCPD are quite positive (as in they have endured a lot of abuse and hold their composure).

Thanks protestshooter -- this was very interesting thing to watch.

[bubbba2]

What usless pieces of flesh.....and they vote, how sad.

[melrastessa]

And you vote.. how sad...

[bubbba2]

I noticed one of the workers had a Sthil chain saw in his hand. One of the best chain saws made and I know because I've cut down many a tree with my trusty Stihl. I think he should have used his Stihl to drop the then and there. Those usless pieces of flesh in the tree are nothing but social parisites. They proved their lack of intelligence and nothing else. It's amazing how many tax dollars go for this idioticy. I'm sure the police had better things 2 do than babysit morons. They are so patient

[Swamphunter]

Get bent, DumpsterSlut.

[Swamphunter]

Actually, all those stinkin' hippies can go get bent for all I care.

[oaklanddd]

It always amazes me how the protesters claim they're taking the high road, yet they are constantly plain ol' *lying* about the situation; constantly trying to claim that UC is acting illegally without bothering to follow the law themselves; and claiming to be peaceful while flinging their own feces and urine at workers and police. It's remarkable. They should be run off campus on a rail and never allowed back.

[jankoski925]

actually, I believe Runnin Mouth had a stay away order after he stole a table from the UC a few months back. But, that obviously didn't last long enough.

[nsbmofo]

i was so happy when i heard they were finally removed
