Berkeley Tree Sitters Explain the Situation on the UC Campus

Survey Nation pays a visit to Berkeley to check-in with the on-going struggle to save the Oak Grove. This footage was shot on 7/4/08- Independence Day- 2 days after the tree sitter known as Dumpster Muffin was forced down due to health reasons and 2 tree sitters (Bird and Olive) descended into the waiting handcuffs of police. Both Bird and Olive volunteered to be interviewed for this segment. There are currently 4 tree sitters left in the trees above the UC campus.

they must have stunk to the high treetops after being up there that long without (presumably) any normal or proper washing, etc.... nasty.. I admire their dedication to their beliefs however, I have to say that.

@mistaVOLman I deleted my old comment because it was rude and uncalled for but do you really think the Iraq war is more important than what these guys were doing?

[mistaVOLman]

@MikeSkiera when i went to iraq

@mistaVOLman They sure as hell raised awareness and they acted on their beliefs.

People keep saying its just a tree, its just a tree, and then there aren't anymore trees. When was the last time you fought for what you believed in?

[mistaVOLman]

Who gives a fuck its a damn tree. These fucking hippies need to get their damn heads out of their asses. They cut down thousands probably even millions of trees everyday. Berkley is a shithole anyway. IT IS! Look at these people they look like fucking homeless people from a damn third world country. Get a goddamn job and pay for these trees to be moved if you love them so much. Honestly they know that sitting in the damn trees isn't gonna stop them from tearing them down.
