Maxxam's Violence...Phoenix...

by Shunka Wakan (shunka_2004 [at] yahoo.com)
Video clip of some very violent behaviour on behalf of Maxxam/Pacific Lumber/Eric Schatz & Co.
These guys must be stopped!

We finally got our stuff together to do video editing, so here's a little experimental clip of Climber Eric and his goon squad of corporate thugs, caught red-handed in their extreme violence.
Phoenix was free-climbing the Old Growth Redwood, "Allah," when he gets attacked by Climber Eric and Ox, and this is where their true nature gets exposed, for all to see.
Remember that this is all happening at over 100 feet off the ground, and, instead of dealing with the lock-downer, the climbers decide to wrestle our friend, using extreme violence and recklessness in apprehending him.
You can clearly see Climber Ox actually STAND ON PHOENIX'S THROAT, wrenching his back, causing extreme pain, and clearly being guilty of reckless endangerment, assault & battery, at the very least.
We're just now able to do digital video capture and editing, at long last...this is the first video captured and released by NCEF! Media...there will be many more in the near future;)
We must expose these guys, and what they're doing, and they must be hed accountable. This is yet one more example of the violence that the corporations, and their supporters, are willing to engage in, for their bottom dollar, for corporate profit and power.
The must be stopped, and they will be stopped!
The footage you are about to see is graphically violent, so be prepared...yes, that is a large, grown man STANDING ON OUR FRIEND'S THROAT, THEN PUTTING ALL OF HIS WEIGHT ON OUR FRIEND'S BODY, WHICH IS HANGING OFF THE PLATFORM, AT 100+'
This is some of the most intense footage taken within the last year, for sure, and is very telling of the kind of people that these "men" are.
Let it be known, for the record, that "Climber Eric" Schatz has a history of domestic violence, has made sexually abusive comments to several female tree-sitters, while extracting them, has been seen driving recklessly in the community, and is clearly a repeat offender, in more ways than one.
Climber Eric and his goons are definitely the kind of people who deserve to be unemployed...it would probably do them a lot of good, and should definitely be exposed for the violent creatures that they are.
Feel free to distribute this video as far and wide as possible, and you can also e-mail me, personally, to get VHS copies and videos on CD.
