The Dwinelle tree-sitter has descended! After Michael Schuck, also known as--no joke--Fresh, began his protest on February 25th, he gathered supporters as well as opponents who routinely staged arguments in front of "his" tree. Apparently, this was his goal--to raise awareness and encourage discussion. Sadly, discussion was mostly about how absolutely ridiculous his protesting strategy was--given he  was protesting about a million different things by sitting in a tree (random? Yes). Fresh was cited for illegally lodging and trespassing by police, then released.

One tree-sitting protest down, one to go. Unfortunately, the Memorial Stadium sect seems to be a little more lingering, so I have a feeling they'll be here for a while yet. But it might be because the cops haven't found a way to cut off their food and water supplies.
