Lady dies in a 150 foot fall trying to get out of the tree after a lengthy protest. |
|
Good for her!!! Let's hope that she has set an example for the rest of her ilk!
|

I think it's a very sad state of affairs when we can't appreciate the sacrifice another person has gone through for something they believe i...Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahaa! Oh no, the tree she was trying to protect killed her! How frickin' funny is that? {wiping tears away} Thank you for playing...[b]WHAMMMM![/b]...ahem....very sad. Yes, very sad.

It wasn't the ground that killed her! It was gravity! Ban Gravity![:D]

The medics would have gotten there sooner if they didn't have to keep pulling over to the side of the road because they were laughing so hard.

Quoted: The medics would have gotten there sooner if they didn't have to keep pulling over to the side of the road because they were laughing so hard. View Quote Ok, so we need a petition to ban trees, gravity, falling, the ground, stopping and medics pulling over on the side of the road. Imagine how many lives this could save. We could all end up being heros and maybe win the Nobel prize or something! |

Quoted: It wasn't the ground that killed her! It was gravity! Ban Gravity![:D] John View Quote Yes gravity, an unseen force that effects everyone of us everyday........ Like a giant conspiracy. Lets think about it. Lincoln's assasanation, yup gravity was there. Attack on Pearl Harbor, those bombs and torpedoes didn't drop themselves. Attack on the USS Liberty, yup gravity was there too. President Kennedy's assasination, yup gravity. This gravity stuff gets around more than "Evil Bert", It's probably at your house right now...... Running to get thicker TFB [;D][bounce] |

Man, you should have seen her! It looked like she fell through an ugly tree and hit every branch! Oh, wait. She DID!

Quoted: I bet it sounded more like a "thud," when she hit. View Quote How does that saying go?: If a tree sitter falls in the woods and nobody is around, does it make a sound? (or something to that effect) |

If a dog killed her we would destroy it...
Does anyone remember the story about the logging protester that was killed when a cut tree fell on him? It was just an unfortunate accident... |
|
She probably pissed off the resident porcupine.
ALWAYS WEAR A SAFETY BELT IN A TREE STAND. |

[b]TIMBER ![/b]
What goes up..must come down. I'm suprised that by now the "usual" all-caring bonehead's haven't yet come to her defense. |

Knowing how much she [b]loved[/b] trees....
I say they should bury her under it so she can fertalize it personally [devil] |

Tree sitters live in plywood platforms attached to the upper limbs of trees slated for logging
And where to the frick do they think the plywood came from? |
|
space probably. delivered by UPS (Universal Plantary Shippers)

Dirt poisoning...OUTSTANDING! Hee hee...
Did you notice that these jackasses make their tree sitting platforms out of PLYWOOD?? A sawmill product? What hypocrisy! There's a happy medium to this issue and people aren't seeing it. On one hand there's logging of old growth forests (which does deliver all the wood products that are generally needed) and on the other hand there's monoculture tree foresting, which delivers just one type of tree per forest, which is not the best way to maintain a stable ecology in that forest's area. The soil's nutrient balance can't be maintained under monoculture conditions. I've got one idea to use as a starting point: Quit cutting trees down just to make mulch out of them! That strikes me as a highly wasteful practice. And if more companies were to switch to electronic advertising instead of bulking up the magazines we read and stuffing our mailboxes full of junk mail, that would reduce a lot of demand. Your morning newspaper...now THERE'S an industry that needs a lot of paper and hence a lot of trees. I predict that electronic publication of the daily paper will become widespread in time. I see the tree-sitter's point, but people buy the products that come out of the forest. If they want to protect the supply, they should work on reducing the demand. I'm no tree hugger. I am a woodworker (A guitar maker, actually) among other hobbies, and I LIKE buying excellent wood for an excellent project, but I also think old forests are pretty damned cool, too. CJ |

cmjohnson has an excellent point...if we stop all logging in U.S. forests, the demand will still be just as high, so we'll go and buy our lumber somewhere else (Russia, Canada, New Zealand to name a few we're currently buying from). Timber was one of the REASONS we created the National Forests. And we are currently growing forests in the U.S. faster than we are cutting them. The only problem is, clearcuts are UGLY (any AR15 owners see a similarity here?). Who cares that clearcuts regenerate faster than selective cuts? They look bad when you show them on the news. So let's ban them, right?
Here's the wood you love so much, eco-freaks. [stick] |
|
Didn't I hear something about old growth lumber from Alaska put on factory ships headed for Japan that milled them into finished lumber on the voyage?
|
|
I guess she [b]felled[/b] to recognize the danger of trees....Oops!
Her family will sue God....and probably settle out of court. [b][blue]NAKED[/blue][/b] |
|
I think the estate of woman should sue Vanport Manufacturing for letting sit in the tree without safety rails, tolets, running hot & cold water, etc.
|
|
She fell from the Ugly tree and hit every branch. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA [:E]
|

Gravity kills...
What we need is not a ban on gravity, but EDUCATION. Training courses instructing people in the use of gravity... Gravity, in the hands of a trained individual, can save lives. Maybe some sort of licensing scheme? Concealed Carry of Gravity? [;)] So what would be lesson #1? Don't fall from high places? Or don't go into those high places in the first place... Viper Out |

How long did it take for the family who produced this demon spawn to file suit against the company who owned the land/tree she was trespassing on? [pissed]
|
|
If I were a tree, I wouldn't want some fat ugly
kunt living in me. |
|
Since she hated paper so much & loved trees, I wonder if she wiped her ass with a pine cone?
Will her casket be made out of metal, recycled of course? |
|
Wonder if this is the chick that went splat...

Well..some nuts DO grow on trees.
[img]www.ottermedia.com/SmilingBarefootWEBm.jpg[/img] [img]www.ottermedia.com/JuliaPhoneSmileWEBm.jpg[/img] She looks alot like the local bag lady ! |
|
She died doing what she loved and was dedicated to her work, that's for sure.

The Gaia-worshipping pagan princess dies from a fall from the tree she worked so hard to protect? Was she doing something like this?
[img]www.ottermedia.com/JuliaSkyWEB.jpg[/img] Or maybe this. [IMG]www.ottermedia.com/UpHighWEB.jpg[/IMG] Or... [IMG]www.ottermedia.com/JuliaPerchedWEB.jpg[/IMG] As the trees said after Sonny Bono ate it on the ski slopes, "There are no accidents." Someone should inform Alanis Morissette about the irony in this one. [}:D] My daddy always told me stupidity should be painful, and I think it was in this case. God Bless Texas |
