Daryl Hannah arrested after garden protest
Edited on Tue Jun-13-06 06:11 PM by Cannikin
LOS ANGELES - Sheriff’s deputies evicted people from an urban community garden to make room for a warehouse Tuesday, touching off a furious protest in which actress Daryl Hannah and others climbed into a walnut tree or chained themselves to concrete-filled barrels. More than 40 people were arrested.

Authorities cut away branches and used a fire truck to bring down the “Splash” actress and another tree-sitter, who raised their fists as they were removed. Hannah was arrested.

“I’m very confident this is the morally right thing to do, to take a principled stand in solidarity with the farmers,” she said by cell phone before the fire truck raised officers into the tree.

1. "She said by cell phone while sipping slave-picked Starbucks
placing an online order from Wal-Mart, and clubbing a baby seal."

(Seriously, good for her. I hate the "raze some trees to raise a warehouse" trend in this country)

2. I'll take any friend I can get,
Even if she is beautiful, rich, and privileged.

Go, Daryl, kick their asses!
