Stairway to Heaven
A path to god….pod.

Oh that is AWESOME!
I think they should Isolate them in the godpod, build the scaffold up to it, then come down from the top in a crane.
And taser them 10 times each for good measure.

It's now obvious to me...
The staircase they’re building is actually the cornerstone of the SHPAC. They’re going to build it around the redwood so future generations of Cal atheletes can continue to enjoy these hippies’ presence on our campus.

I HAVE THE ANSWER!!!!!!!
1) finish staircase
2) blow up the bubble (see Wayne Coyne below)
3) put hippies inside
4) drop to ground
5) kick into ocean

In short, the tree sit was always pointless. The university wasn’t going to cut down the trees (or the hippies in them) until the law suit was resolved. Now that the lawsuit is resolved, the tree sit isn’t going to prevent a single tree from being cut down.

removing protesters was pointless when you couldn’t remove the trees. it was too easy for more hippies to get back into them.

It’d have been fun if they just began construction anyway and just left them there to rot, like Peter Jackson did with Sauruman.

Actually Peter Jackson had Saruman stabbed by Grima
and then Saruman fell onto a “waterwheel” or whatever it’s called. Then Grima was shot by Legolas’ arrow.
In the book these two survive and go on to “scour” the shire prior to the return of the hobbits.

My feed just died, but when it came back, the camera angle made it look like they had cut off the top of the tree, and were lowering it down to the ground. I thought, hey, a compromise. They didn’t have to leave the tree, and the tree was cut down. Not the best (best=hippies falling out of the tree as it tumbles to the ground), but not terrible.
Then the camera zoomed out and I saw that the scaffolding had just grown a lot, and the hippie-removers were just closer to the top than before.
It’s like a slow, steady advancing army…inching their way to the stupid hippies who will eventually have no choice but to succumb.

How ironic would it be if the Hippies protested coming down on the platforms
and decided to jump instead?

That would be awesome…I actually thought they were going to do that the other day when they were standing out on the limbs with arms outstretched. Looked like prepping for a dive to me.
Do hippies believe in near-suicide?

That would be a good thing, I suppose… Though the last thing we need is these freaks thinking they have a martyr. These damn idiots…

Goldblooded tells me they are cutting more of the lower branches to make room for the top of the tower. They are being pelted with something apparently from the hippies. I fear to know what it is exactly. But I can guess.

seems to me like what they should do is grab the top of the tree with those big cranes, saw it off right under where the platform is, and then lower top onto the ground. Now THAT would be a creative use of cranes.
