 said that the loggers had been deliberately felling huge trees, in a perpendicular manner rather than downhill, in the protesters' direction.One of the protesters also noted that the tree fellers were fully aware that they were there, as the activists had been ""yelling at them, walking towards them, telling them 'Don't fell this tree'"".On a videotape supplied by Earth First!, Arlington Earl Ammons, the 52-year-old logger responsible for felling the tree that caused Chain's death can be heard shouting expletives and threatening the protesters.
