Classic "treehugging" Idiocy

So, Berkley--nasty environment hating institution that it is--decided to cut down some trees in order to build a new athletic center. These were not threatened Redwoods, or 200yr old patriarchs, they were oaks planted in a 1923 project by the college. The college will plant new trees to replace the old ones, but that was not good enough. A group of students took to the trees, and have been staying up there for the last 18 months.

Originally, they had supply lines running in, but these were cut a couple weeks ago, and most of the would be ewoks left. However, a few remain, and all you need to know about the level of their intelligence can be found in the following sentence:

"Protesters howled, flung excrement and shook tree branches as campus-hired arborists cut supply lines and removed gear."
