Eric Schatz Headcam, Part 3

Click to Play

Violent extraction by Maxxam/Pacific Lumber Co. hired climbers, at 180 feet, in the tree-top of an old growth redwood tree named "Allah."

The climbers that the company hires are not officers of the law, nor are they deputized, and should have no right to lay their hands on any members of the public.

Citizen's arrest does not allow for excessive force, and the activists in these ancient trees are not asking to be "rescued," so the "search-and-rescue" training that the climbers receive, in order to "qualify" to do these dangerous extractions.  Meanwhile, the Humboldt Co. sheriffs stand by and allow the climbers to assault, batter, and kidnap citizen activists, and even supply them with handcuffs, in at least one instance.

Click to Play

Jamie "Root" McGuinn was active with North Coast Earth First!, in the Mattole and on Gypsy Mountain, and was also involved with the resistance to mountaintop removal and development on the East Coast, in West Virginia and North Carolina.

Jamie "Root" McGuinn was killed in a motorcycle accident with a logging truck, on October 5, 2006, in North Carolina.

This video is from a logging protest in Eureka, CA, when Root climbed up on a logging truck, which had been stopped by activists on Hwy 101 North, just in front of the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department and Courthouse.

Part 2 of 5, violent extraction by Maxxam/Pacific Lumber hired climbers, in the Freshwater Creek watershed, Greenwood Heights Rd, in a tree named "Allah." These extraction climbers are not officers of the law, nor are they deputized, yet the Humboldt Co. Sheriff's Dept. allows this to go on; the local District Attorney, Paul Gallegos, even pressed felony assault charges on the activist, and none on the climbers! You decide!
