hy would any sane parent allow their child to go to Berkeley in this day and age? Why would anyone want to hand over trunks of money to the state for the purpose of destroying the sensibility and future productivity of their progeny? Case in point:
BERKELEY, Calif. — UC Berkeley officials say they are preparing to remove four tree-sitters protesting a planned new sports center next to Memorial Stadium.
The university has refused to meet the protesters’ demand that it donate $6 million to environmental and Native American groups as part of an agreement for the tree-sitters to come down voluntarily.
Campus spokesman Dan Mogulof said Monday the university is preparing for what it hopes will be a “quick and safe extraction” in the coming days. (source)
After these thugs have attempted to blackmail (crackmail might be more appropriate, given the photo) the university, they’re still interested in a “safe extraction?” Were it not for the fact that these self-righteous excuses for humanity are poised to sue for any mistreatment they might suffer after mistreating the university for the last 21 months while they’ve tree-sat and delayed construction, I would opt for “quick” and leave the “safe” to chance.
These tree-huggers (in the most literal sense) apparently don’t realize that when they chose to come to Berkeley they chose to come to a school that is in a heavily urbanized area and has a longstanding sports tradition. If they want to save trees, pick a place outside the city. If they don’t like sports, find a school that doesn’t have an athletic program.
I understand most madrassa don’t offer sports. Try your shenanigans there, sloth boy.
