"depriving activists of comfortable shade"?

dont you think this is a prime example of liberal whining? Did the loggers not bring you tea and cookies either? did the loggers fail to put down their chainsaws because you snapped your fingers and told them to?

I am extremely involved in the fight to save old growth and to abolish capitalism, so I just wanted to offer a comment on your reporting. i feel similarly revolted when people complain about how the police mistreated them. our real problems are the very existence of police, government, ecosystem destroyers, etc, not simply their excesses or their "wrongdoings".
A little more investigation and *work* into the real causes of forest destruction may help, rather then kneejerk reactions. please don't drop the ball when it comes to reporting and messaging. it is extremely important.

i wish Ramsey Gulch treesitters the best of luck and strength. solidarity.
