Now, they are going to appease the law-breakers by feeding them energy bars.

They have CHOSEN to be there. If they aren't smart enough to figure out their own nutritional needs for the duration, too bad. If you want them to come down...WHY ARE YOU FEEDING THEM?! It's like trying to get rid of vermin. My only consolation is that those of us who are part of America's workforce will never have to worry about competing for jobs with any of these worthless fools.

Kill the trees without chopping them down and the fools will eventually have to come down because there will be nothing left to save. A quicker approach would be to spray herbicide around the base of the tree. In a few weeks, all of the leaves will turn brown and fall off, making it pointless for them to stay. On the other hand, when has being pointless ever stopped moonbats from supporting their crazy causes? In fact, most of what they do seems pointless to rational people. wrcnossen had a great idea.
