Six Activists Plead to Vieques Charges
Six activists pleaded guilty Thursday to destroying federal property on Vieques island on the night of the Navyâs departure from its bombing range about four months ago. Prosecutors recommended between four and 21 months of jail time for the six. They each faced up to 10 years in prison for destroying a Humvee, a patrol boat and a concrete structure at the former bombing range after midnight April 30th. Damages were estimated at $250,000. Sentencing was set for Dec. 4.
Not only is the island now a wildlife refuge, but six mopes go to jail. Sweet!
I hope they're going to make them pay for the Humvee. Those suckers ain't cheap... |
