Tree arrested in downtown Portland for blocking traffic

I apologize. A branch in my family tree became engrossed in free the tree protest movements.
 
The 'punnery' has blossomed well in this thread but being the downer guy I must bring this to a close by linking to a page explaining the 'artist's' work

Portland tree guy Asher Woodworth explains his ‘magical’ intentions

Portland artist Asher Woodworth, 30, was arrested on Monday for blocking traffic in downtown Portland while dressed as a tree.

A trained dancer, Woodworth told BDN Portland that his intention was to give Portlanders pause as they went about the normally mundane act of driving through an intersection. Video of his performance and subsequent arrest quickly captured attention internationally.

Q: What motivated you to dress in tree branches and stand in the street yesterday?

A: Recently I’ve been really interested in this book of photographic portraits by this guy named Charles Fréger. It’s called “Wilder Mann” and it’s all these wonderful photographs of these rural, ceremonial costumes that he found through Europe and the people who are wearing them.

There are these images of people from Switzerland and Germany who are dressed very similarly to how I dressed myself yesterday, covered in evergreens and really coming out of this ritual performance.

Those were in my head and all I can really say is I was meditating one day and this very clear vision for this performance kinda came to me out of an empty mind.

I just decided that this was something I needed to do.
 
Yes, the tree thing also links to the Druids, though few know that the Druid link is also the SOE link. That is why we will continue with the tree model that links the Clinton mafia in Bedford Township, Michigan, to trees and drug trafficking. Druids slicing off mistletoe is a different gesture than the injection of drugs into a neighborhood to begin the degradation process. Accelerated Jesus and Petroleum Addicts on Coke.
 
I see so many penalties of you guys stealing and rehashing already used puns.

Poor form fellas... poor form!
