In Freshwater, Humbolt County, tree sitters instinctively derailed Maxxam Pacific Lumber’s (PL) plans to log giant old growth redwood trees hundreds of years old, when a tree sitter named Smokey U-locked in 600 pounds of concrete, another two out on the traverses, one locked by his neck onto the line atached to two fatty trees, and two more kids freeclimbing created too much resistance for PL to log. Goons (climbers) in Freshwater tore down platforms ,stole ropes and gear, and tossed galons of human feces, and urine from high up cuasing the entire area to became consumed with the stench.

U-LOCK IN HUNDREDS OF POUNDS OF CONCRETE WITH person locked in gets lifted down despite warnings from concerned citizens and activists, super sketchy. Two sitters left without anyway to get down the tree. Sherrifs arive and immediately assumed their postions as PL’s hired security force threatening to arrest any of us who get to close to a good ole boy operation. Once down, it took hours to get him out of the concrete barrel having been locked to it since 7am.

Sketchy Eric’s goon squad have been recorded in the past torturing activists, using pain compliance, beatings, psychological assualts, and threats to “let you die”. These crimes have been recorded and documented, yet he and PL are engaged in a almost laaughable PR campain against tree sitters.

THE TREES STILL STAND
