Like Medieval times, they need to put scalding cauldrons of hot oil on top of the wall to fend off the tree climbing and mountaineering D bags.

I wonder if people will move into the containers.

Incredible drone photos of People's Park from Phil Rowntree, taken Thursday at 2:30 p.m. The shipping container wall appears nearly complete. Here's the full background from the night of the clearing: https://t.co/DKMWJcw0T8 pic.twitter.com/RlRk1bUe0N

The scene here at Telegraph and Dwight. Still very low key here in Berkeley at the People’s Park protest. pic.twitter.com/PVk6uAi7N9

College and Bancroft both open, no problem getting to RSF parking.

Perhaps most of those who witnessed the founding of People's Park are by now too wasted to notice any changes. Younger folks don't seem to have the same passion, possibly because they're not being drafted to serve in Vietnam.
