Stuck On Stupid

Dumpster Muffin, the highest perched protester for the preservation of an oak grove alights from her roost in Berserkely Berkeley, CA.

From SFGATE:

Four of the Memorial Stadium tree-sitters left their perches Wednesday and late Tuesday, leaving only three protesters making a stand against UC’s plans to build an athletic training center in the grove, UC Berkeley officials said.

Three of the protesters came down to preserve more food and water for those who remain, Eisenberg said, while the fourth – Amanda “Dumpster Muffin” Tierney, 21 – came down because she was suffering from an undisclosed medical condition, campus spokesman Dan Mogulof said.

The fate of the oak grove hinges on the outcome of lawsuits brought against UC by the City of Berkeley, the Panoramic Hill Association and oak tree supporters. A judge is expected to rule in the next few weeks whether the university can proceed with plans to build a $140 million sports training center next to the stadium.

Three of the protesters made unannounced descents from the trees late Tuesday night, Mogulof said. Drew Beres, 19, was arrested by campus police while the other two – Pamela “Olive” Zigo, 19, and Travis “Bird” Richey, 19 – climbed back up a different tree apparently to evade arrest, he said.
