The definition of a “hero” in Berkeley

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 3, 2008 12:01 PM

Who’s a “hero” in Berkeley?

Not the Marines.

The illegally trespassing tree-sitters.

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.

But the holdouts don’t plan to give up just yet, said Eric Eisenberg, who has been part of the tree-sitters’ support crew since the protest began Dec. 1, 2006.

“Those remaining are strong, steadfast and recommitted to protecting this sacred, beautiful place,” Eisenberg said. “Obviously their supplies are dwindling and they need nutrients, but they’re rededicating themselves. We’re strong and we’re going to win.”

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…

…”There’s plenty of people who want to help,” Eisenberg said. “The tree-sitters are heroes in this town.

    It gets better: One of the treesitters, Shem (or is it Flem?) has filed a lawsuit over his treatment as an illegal tresspasser in the trees. His primary witness: Squirtle.

    On the other hand, I cannot believe someone as supposedly committed to “saving these trees” as dumpster dummy would ever leave her post.

    What is the world coming to if protestors are not willing to die for their cause.

    This is shameful and dumpster dummy should forever have to live with the world knowing that she was not committed enough to those trees to not give her life. If she truly cared she would still be there in her squallid nest regardless of the pain.

    She is no better than the “corporate profiteers” she was only marginally prptesting against.

    What a failure of a world changing protestor.

    From the Berkeley Daily Planet:

    A treesitter collapsed moments after climbing down from her perch at the UC Berkeley oak grove, and campus police initially refused to allow a doctor in to examine the ailing woman, known as Dumpster Muffin.

    That was the account given by the physician, Dr. Larry Bedard, and treesit support coordinator Ayr following the dramatic events of Wednesday afternoon. Dumpster Muffin was one of three treesitters to come down at the grove on Wednesday.

    “When she got down from the tree, she collapsed,” said the doctor, a past president of the American College of Emergency Physicians. “They got her up and held her up and she collapsed again. It happened three times.”

    Bedard faulted campus police for their conduct, stating that “any Boy Scout knows that for someone in her condition, the first thing you do is lie her down and elevate her feet.”

    Does anyone besides me see a problem with the good doctor referencing something about Boy Scouts in Berkely as though it should be common place learning in that area? :roll:

    Looking at the way the MSM glorified the protesters of the 60s, is it any wonder the new generation of liberals is trying to find something, anything to protest against? There will always be a place for the weak-minded, whether it’s protesters or martyrs, as long as there’s a perceived belief that their behavior is noble.

    My sympathies go out to the Tierneys. If my daughter did this, I’d change my name and move without telling her.

    I see even the doctors there engage in moral relativism and hypocrisy. (No shocker really, I see it all the time in hospitals). Does it not dawn on him that dumpster muffin by her own choice and free will put herself in a tree for 18 months and self inflicted her own health condition? The police are there to secure a perimeter, if she was being “helped” off that property she was illegally invading and squatting on then it becomes fair game for the doctor to assist the patient once the security threat has been neutralized (aka she has been moved outside the perimeter). In a sane world the rule of law would prevail and she would get her hospital trip and recover from her self inflicted injuries with an IV-drip (and perhaps a hosing down to help prevent infections) while a police officer waits patiently outside her room to arrest her the moment the hospital releases her for the crimes she has committed.

    No respect for the rule of law, until it concerns one of them. Then if the law isn’t followed to a tee they scream lawsuit. Deranged doesn’t begin to describe such lunacy. Any takers on once Dumpster Muffin recovers on a bet that she leaves her old ways behind her and gets a job and becomes a productive member of society? I got my money she milks the system for welfare and SSI and finds another tree to squat in while not putting a dime back into the system she is milking.

    God Bless the troops that defend the Constitution and this Republic with their lives and blood spilled so that human-vermin like this have the ability to act like a complete lunatic if they so choose.

    I certainly hope she isn’t thinking about some cure that would kill those yeast. After all they are living creatures and have just as much right to exist as the rest of us. Dumpster Muffin needs to see that they are safely removed and relocated to another environment where they will be free to live their lives as they choose and reach their full potential, as is the right of all living organisms.

    These lefty tree-dwellers remind me of the old pillar-saints, Christian religious nuts who used to sit on pillars in European towns in the belief that mortification of their bodies would bring them salvation. Their towns were very proud of them, thinking that such crazed hermits demonstrated their piety to the world, just as Berekely is proud of its arboreal extremists.

    Sometimes a second pillar-saint from another Christian sect would set himself up on a competing pillar within shouting distance and they would spend years arguing the merits of their respective creeds.

    I wonder if the lack of religion in their lives leads Berkeley lefties to revert to pre-Medieval quasi-religious rituals like this hermitic tree-sitting. It’s certainly as irrational as anything the pillar-saints did.

    What they shoulod do is cut down every tre without anyone in it (there are only 3 left) then strip every single branch off the 3 remaining trees and bore a 2 inch hole in the trucks and insert posion. Then just start building what you can arround the trees. Then the “protesters” can stay up there in a dead tree waiting for a good stiff wind, or come down.

    The Sierra Club says she has a yeast infection!

    If she’s yeast leavened, wouldn’t that make her an English Muffin?

    Bedard faulted campus police for their conduct, stating that “any Boy Scout knows that for someone in her condition, the first thing you do is lie her down and elevate her feet.”

    There’s your problem right there, Doc. This here is Berkeley, and the city council dun outlawed the Boy Scouts.

    FYI Eric Eisenberg and Ayr are the same person, so as you read the different quoted articles keep that in mind. He has quite the arrest record by now.

    If you want to see a picture of him, there’s one here http://www.protestshooter.com/20080617Oaks/ with the caption “They were trying desperately to call friends and get them to come a day early.”

    Ms. Muffin was in her “God Pod” (that’s what they call it) the next day which you can see here – there’s also some video at the end – http://www.protestshooter.com/20080618MoreBerkeleyOaks/

    Like the NPR guy, this idiot has his own definition of a HERO.

    Must have been conditioned by numerous paper awards like “Student of the Month” he got at the public school he attended.

    As long as the MSM continue to treat them as “news”, they will continue their stand. Once the MSM gets bored and moves on, it will end. Months from now, no-one will care, or even bother to remember their names. Some other idiots will have the “news”. If they think they’re making history, they are sadly deluded. The MSM will use them until something else comes along, and they will, in the end, be the losers. Forgotten and ignored.

    •A persistent agitated or depressed feeling (dysphoria)
    •Inability to tolerate boredom
    •Disregard for the safety of self or others
    •A childhood diagnosis of conduct disorders – this is not a symptom but “a history of”

    •Superficial charm
    •Impulsiveness
    •A sense of extreme entitlement

    Tricked ya! It’s 301.7 (Antisocial Personality Disorder).

    The Dems might want to copy the Replublicans’ use of GOP and start calling themselves the APD.

    No charge, guys! This one’s on me.

    Only if they cut off the moonbats supplies when the court said the were illegally trespassing, not now.

    I would get those portable construction lights that they use for road work and place as many as needed around the trees they occupy. Keep it daylight bright 24/7 and prevent access to un-occupied trees by cutting the branches off.

    Oh please! These envirowanks don’t have the courage of their convictions. They only “tree-sit” because of their confidence that people far better than they won’t cut them down. I say make a big show of bringing in the loggers, then rev up the chainsaws, cut a couple neighboring trees down, and then start cutting a log placed up against the trunk of the tree. If they last that long (which is doubtful), the noise and vibrations alone will have them scurrying for ground in seconds. Then again, it could be dangerous. They might fall trying to scurry down while bawling their eyes out and messing themselves.
