Supporters of Tree Sitters Arrested - Sitters Keep On Sittin'

Environmental Activists Sittin' in a TREE, P-R-O-T-E-S-T-I-N-G!
Three individuals were arrested Wednesday in Berkeley, California at the site of a months-old tree sitting protest. The sitters have been sitting in the oaks there since December 'o6 in an effort to thwart the construction of a sports center. We asked one of the sitters "off the record" why not just plant more oaks around the area, to which the bashful tree sitter whispered, "it's really just a long running feud between the stoners and the jocks... I think we are winning".
