Berkeley Tree Sitters Lose Their Stuff

(Berkeley, California) About 6 AM Tuesday morning, UC Berkeley sent a guy to clean, for sanitation and safety purposes, the city's infamous treetop village of eco-protesters. As he removed materials and equipment, including food and clothing, a moment of meaning occurred.

[A] rope holding a bucket used for human waste was cut, sending the bucket and its contents to the ground at least 40 feet below.

It's arguable but I believe that a bucket of human waste crashing on the ground symbolizes the entire tree-sitting movement. They should put it on a bumper sticker.

Some might say that I have no respect for the environment and that I hate the Earth. That would be wrong. Furthermore, I don't normally listen to people who sh*t sit in trees for an occupation or, for that matter, a hobby.
