Berkeley! How's that saying go ... as ye sow, so shall ye reap? Anyway, it was probably just students doing a class exercise. Publicity and Protesting 101.
A sports stadium? I didn't know UCB was into such things as outdoor exercise (Kumbaya rallies and picket lines aren't exercise). So if they have a sports team they need a name - since Trojans is already taken, how about the UCB Astrogliders?

Students weren't, by and large, part of the protest. The tree sitters were exclusively non-students.

Are you kidding? CAL BEAR fans are rabid. And serious UCB students don't have time for stupid tree sitting antics.

Hmmmm, I had no idea there were real students there - you can tell I'm from far far away - all the publicity about it is of the "How Berkeley Are You" type. I do know they were big in CSC 20 years ago, haven't heard anything since.
Apologies to the serious students/grads of the area.
I think we are thinking too much in the box on the best way to remove them. They expect that we will do things like shoot, burn, or wash them. Nay, I suggest we let nature take care of this issue. Specifically, introduce a colony of bees to this tree. Let's see how the hippies like it when nature decides to kick them out.
The fun part would be if you placed several colonies in the tree below the prtesters and just walked off, no scaffolds or anything.
"Good luck guys! We'll remove the bees once you're on the ground."
If you are unwilling to give another man freedom in his life, do not expect to have it in your own.
It surely beats trying to figure out what the metrosexuals want ( a good hard kick in the nuts in my opinion, but that won't sell ice cream :D )- Highspeed

Well, okay, UC too.
