Only in Berkeley: “Dumpster Muffin” bitterly clings to her tree
I told you on Tuesday that UC Berkeley campus police had finally taken steps to remove trespassers who’ve been living in a grove of trees for months on end to block school stadium construction.
It ain’t over.
Zombie stopped by the protest site, snapped some choice photos, and introduces you to “Dumpster Muffin.” Zombie reports:
The sitters had constructed an insanely perilous aerie towering far above the highest branches. It was occupied by a protester with the too-perfect name Dumpster Muffin (yes, her name really is Dumpster Muffin), who would go into convulsions whenever one of the dismantlement-minded arborists neared her outpost. She’d screech and scream and shake the platform violently, forcing her opponents (who were dangling from a cable attached to a crane) to back off, fearing she’d martyr herself by plummeting to the ground rather than be captured.
Only in Berkeley.

Knock her out of the tree before she breeds.
These people are dumber than a box of hammers…. protesters and the University….
Dumpster Muffin aka Durky Lurky
Send some heavily armoured Ranger or Seal types -via Helicopter _ grab her—take her to a hospital to be examined >>>for her own safety>>>and then commit her. Dumpster Muffin poses a threat to herself and to the trees!
The City, State and University should file suit against this idiot.
The should demand once more that she come down and if she refuses they should either blast her out of the tree with a fire hose or cut down the tree.
If she is too stupid to understand self-preservation then that is her problem. Must be a UCB student to begin with.
I hate Berkeley. I feel like a I need a Clorox wipe after seeing that.
Set the trees on fire. The squatters who which to remain in the trees should be allowed the option of staying. It would be a hit on youtube. Kind of like Waco.
She be committed and never allowed to breed. We have enough stupid people in this country now.
Dumpster muffin meet Mr. Naplam.
I can almost guarantee this girl will be running for Senate in 30 years.
Why was this allowed to go on as long as it has? I have to wonder about
the school as well as the tree nuts. Only in Bezerkley would this happen.
…fearing she’d martyr herself by plummeting to the ground rather than be captured.
And? Trying to find a down side to Dumpster Muffin removing herself from the genepool. So far, I’m turning up empty-handed.
Oh, please. A few stunt-man landing pads on the ground around the tree, then go and get her.
And the problem? If the crew was sent to down the tree down it. Muffins bounce.
“…fearing she’d martyr herself…”
fearing she’d martyr herself ?? fearing she’d martyr herself ??? Whaaat, is she a Druid??
Fast forward 10 years… bet she marries a media billionaire.
What a bunch of fruitcakes. I cannot wait to esape from California. I’ve never seen so many people who try to get by, by doing so little, and then whining about the success of others. Hmmm, sounds like a book I’ve read.
O.K., who’s for sparking up the ol’ McCulluch and turning the “Muffin” into a pancake on the side walk ?
Nothing like a little anarchy to screw up your day. Now if these were anti-abortion or Pro-American protesters they would have been run out of town. BTW, where are the Code Pinkies?
Wicked witch of the West has the best idea. “These things must be done delicately. Poison. Poison will make them sleeeeeep. Pour herbicide over the roots system of the tree the wacko is “lodging on.” She can stay, but her tree dies. “And her little dog too!” Agh-hahahaha!
This is what happens when liberals breed. Can’t we put something in the water to prevent this in the future?
Where is a sniper when you need one?
To these pathetic folks, they are doing something important. This is as big a deal to them as serving their country is to our soldiers and marines. These folks are putting it all on the line and you all just mock them.
Can’t we all just get along… and clear the area with Napalm….
Sorry Goldwater knight, I just noticed you had that base covered.
I have more pictures and video of the ‘lil charmer here http://www.protestshooter.com/20080618MoreBerkeleyOaks/ if anybody’s interestsed.
poor clueless little wood elves.
She’s an eco-freak, right?
Just tell her: “get out of the tree NOW, or we s-l-o-w-l-y peel the bark off of the trunk of the tree you’re in”.
Failing that, just shoot her with a tranquilizer dart.
I think that I shall never see
a Dumpster Muffin lovely as a tree…
with apologies to Kilmer
In any event, she’s just looking to estabish a new branch office. Leaf her alone.
Well, Zombie didn’t take pics of Dumpster Muffin, it was of Asphalt Girl. Still funny, and great quotes, but you have to go to the comments to see the Muffin video and pics is all.
To WarEagle82,
None of these idiots have any affiliation with the University. As a matter of fact, many of them aren’t even from Berkeley or California even.
Ooops, my bad, it was his pic from another post.
Anyway, still halarious.
That’s funny!
If they don’t take that mentally ill lady down, I guess the best thing they can do, is wait her out. Sooner or later, she’ll run out of water/food; just like an old-fashioned seige. Once the media goes away, with the cameras, she’ll know it’s over. She’ll stay until she starves, as long as she gets her pic in the news. Once down, the local politicians will praise her for her opinion.
Firehose, meet Dumpster Muffin.
Dumpster Muffin, meet Firehose.
Can’t use a firehose here. Knock her out of the tree, watch her go to the hospital, watch the line around the block of lawyers wanting her case. See her sue the city and state. Watch her take her money and finance more nonsense with the trees. Or, watch her take her millions someplace environmentally-friendly, and spend the rest of her life going “ommmmm” while swaying back and forth with her legs crossed, as other moonbats say “cool!” and find their own trees to live in.
wow, wtg protest shooter, by the looks of things that crows nest for muffy the crane slayer is going to break.
what a zoo.
Tranquilizer Dart!!!!
What a burn out.
What’s a dumpster muffin?
a wife of dumpster diver.
Come on now - that is an insult to hammers. Hammers are a tool and have an important history in the world. Ms. Dumpster Muffin, however, is only getting her 15 minutes of fame. That seems to be her only use.
I would suggest using one of those nets like they used on Wild Kingdom to catch the monkeys. You know - it uses rockets to deploy over the tree and everything under it is caught and radio tagged. The world should keep track of lunatics like this.
Why are they afraid of that? Just start chopping the damn thing down with her in it.
In one of the pictures, it looks like there is a power line nearby.
She better watch out or her “muffin” may get “cooked”.
(Couldn’t help it — seriously, I hope nobody gets hurt)
I’ve got it! Catch a whole bunch of squirrels then release them at the base of the tree with a lot of people standing around it in a wide circle shouting at them. The squirrels will all go up the tree to join the big Muffin. Great fun will be had by
alleveryone but her! Be nice Mr. squirrel….After reading more about this nitwit … make sure they are red squirrels.
Tennessee Dave,
That is hilarious! I would pay to see that.
I’m still just not seeing the problem with her falling out of the tree and being another person removed from helping to spread her shallow end of the gene pool.
Just saying.
RE: #25…
“…..a tree that may in summer wear,
a clutch of hippies in her hair.”
Nicely put!
It would probably be the first bath this smelly hippie has had in a long time.
If they’re so all-fired afraid to do anything themselves, they could just go to the San Fran-sissy-co Zoo and borrow a beaver. Put it by the tree and just let Mother Nature take care of the rest.
But i thought there already……oh nevermind
Better idea: send TheOtherSide up to negotiate with la Dumpstress, then start chopping.
I’ld say chop it down and let the Dumpster Muffin fall where she may, but then we would have more stupid street theater on top of Rachel Corrie plays.
If a dumpster muffin falls on campus, and there is no crowd there, does it make a noise?
This is what you get when you have an entire community without one set of ‘nads among the populace. Muffin must “feel empowered” by the lack of serious actions.
Now if a smoker lights up in a bar, I’ll bet the SWAT team is called in. California is the most beautiful and screwed up state in the Union.
#48 Abstract Mind
HA HA HA HA HA!!!
One word:
TIMBER!!!!
An Obama supporter?
That’s it! Smoke under ‘her’ tree! Well, smoke a tobacco cigarette…
Just use their own eco-nut strategy against them. Give them 10 minutes warning that these trees for the next 2 weeks will become a bee farm for all natural honey and set up about oh let’s say 100 bee boxes and then have the cameras live feed the results online.
Put aside your breakfast plate. Gross question of the day in 3…2…1
Would the smellier, hairier beaver be at the top or bottom of the tree?
#15, are you being held captive in California? whats the deal?
Taze her Bro.
I hope she stays up there long enough to collect Social Security.
It’s poetic justice for UCB to have to put up with the product of their own indoctrination camp.
Maybe they should cut her supply line. If Dumpster Muffin ran out of food and water she’d probably be ready to leave the nest.
Since Mr. Napalm was already mentioned, I’d like to see a flight of Hueys come in out of the sun, and instead of Wagner, they should just cue up the sound of chainsaws.
I smell a Darwin Award in the making.
I know the Dems are trying to get rid of Hillary but I didn’t think it would come to this.
Wow! Looks like Berkeley’s chickens have come home to roost … literally!
I like the stuntman airbags idea. I would love to watch her bounce down through the tree limbs like a tranquilized bear. But they are afraid she would martyr herself !?! hmmmmm
OK. Lets shoot one of those nets over her so she cant fall and then one of the workers can tie it off so she cant get out. A helicopter could then fly over and pick up the net from the air.
The helicoopter could then fly her to a nice safe nature preserve somewhere far far far away from the Bay area and then release her unharmed into another natural habitat. She could then take up residence forever in another forest.
I’d like to modify my idea…
Shoot the net over her, attach the net AND the tree to the helicopter. Then cut the tree off at the base.
Now its win-win all around because they can fly her AND the tree to a remote forest. The tree will be gone from Berkeley however she can continue on with her love-fest…..
You know how much paperwork there is when someone goes splat? The fine law enforcement officers working the trees don’t deserve that…
I was just thinking…now there is an idea for Hillary to do. Sit in a tree at the convention and refuse to come down until they nominate her. Might work, with these liberals.
No Friday update.
God I hope this insanity goes on all summer.
Or at least till the Marxist Coronation in Denver this August.
Night-ops
Start the tape of crying kittens on the P.A.
What happens if “Dumpster Muffin” gets struck by lightning?
Libs and leftists are cowards. There’s no way she would kill herself over a tree. TAKE HER!
Is she the left over residue of one or both the freaks in the 1st picture?
What has happened to my country?
Two words: Fire Ants
They need to cut down all the trees surrounding the area they are in and fence in the trees they are in. Have police form a line to prevent anyone from bringing supplies in. Arrest anyone who attempts to. Curt off unoccupied branches and structures one by one until they can arrest them
They need to go to booking and then a mental institution. They are not sane. If you are willing to put you life in danger in a jury-rigged perch ABOVE a tree which a crane is needed to access, that goes beyond moral convictions. I wouldn’t be suprized if some of these tree sitters had attempted suicide before.
I wonder if they are looking for a Suicide by Cop situlation?
It’s in Berkeley so contrary to popular myth it’s perpetually fricken cold. In the “heat” of the day its 70, at night 50. You don’t need a firehose to blast her out o the tree - just a sprinkler would do it.
Dumpster muffin would get teeth chattering cold on their best summer night.
No wait. I just had a better idea. Paintball target practice.
No wait. Even better. Raise up a reporter in a basket to interview Muffie. We need this girl’s endorcement for the next president on record.
To tell the truth though, after looking at the pictures, and given the political proclivities of the UC Berk board of regents, the potential patrons of an expanded new sports complex in Berkeley, the likely source of funding for the construction, and the fact that is a damn fine specimen of a Black Oak, I’m rooting for Gutter Muffin and her band of smelly gypseys to win this thing.
F — every sort of government construction in that quagmire of city.
They tax us for that crap, and as far as I am concerned it’s money down a rat hole.
Since many of these tree people may be homeless or semi-homeless, perhaps these seem like good accomodations to them.
