#1 Something between 'criminal trespass', 'wanton endangerment' and 'hazarding navigation' seem suitable charges.

#2 [i]Protesters started scaling a 270-foot tower crane at a downtown construction site Wednesday morning and unfurled the banner once they reached the top.[/i]

Doesn't *anyone* take security seriously these days? Good Lord, I've managed rental houses with more attention than this.

#3 How about welding a steel plate about 50-feet above the boom foot and letting the "Activists" stew on the remaining 220 for, let's say, 3 days?

#6 She's right about people being willing to resist in new ways. She's wrong thinking that applies just to her side.

#7 How cold would the greenpeace offices be if someone switched all their electricity and gas off?

#8 Just remember, Greenpeace, Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and Humane Society International (HSI) are one in the same.

There will always be a funding stream from innocent folks thinking that they're donating to the 'American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals' (ASPCA) just because the Greenpeace/Sea Shepherd storefront calls itself the 'Humane Society'. My mom used to send money to them before I explained that it wasn't the ASPCA.
