UC Berkeley Tree-Sitters Part II
Photo: Female Tree-Sitter "Dumpster Muffin", UC Berkeley, CaliforniaIn a recent blog post I discussed the UC Berkeley Tree-Sitters. Well last night, UC Berkeley moved in to remove the tree-sitters at the Memorial Oak Grove.
Here is the story from the San Francisco Chronicle: UC removes tree-sitters' gear before ruling
Here is a YouTube video of yesterday's events: UC Police Extracts First Berkeley Tree Sitter
Update 6/20/08: Food supply support lines have been cut. "Dumpster Muffin" is still in the trees however and not planning on coming down anytime soon according to the Mercury News.

Thanks Ron. I had a blast. I wish I had stayed a little longer.
The girl in your picture is known as "Dumpster Muffin". As far as I know, she's still in the tree.
Thanks Ron. That is interesting to know. I will update my blog entry with that information.
