#1 Man-made GW is an unproven concept. Even if it were proven, she would not have the right to harm others by trying to kill the pipeline. The judge is using the bench for a soapbox about GW instead of following the law.

#3 In the Middle Ages in Europe pogroms were launched against Jews because they were accused of poisoning wells and spreading the Black Death... The Judge seems to be endorsing the same form of lawless hysteria.

#4 I can reverse that by stating her actions are causing the imminent harm to the workers of the pipeline, the wildlife around it, the poor and fixed income people once prices rise, and my poor mutt that will have to go back to tainted dog food from China.

Makes a good case for rendering this twit carbon neutral and using her for something useful like plant food.

#7 "Our conclusion is that the system is broken and it is up to us as individuals to take peaceful action and remedy it, and this we did, out of necessity," Montoya said...
Craig Stevens, a spokesman for the Grow America's Infrastructure Now Coalition, a pro-pipeline group which includes business and labor interests, called the two women's statements a "stunning admission of guilt." "Despite their repeated claims, in no way are the use of gasoline, motor oil, fire and welding torches to destroy construction equipment or pierce pipelines acts of 'peaceful' protest," Stevens said. "These are violent criminals hiding beneath the veneer of young women. They are lucky they were not seriously injured or killed.
Reznicek and Montoya are active in the Des Moines Catholic Worker community, which was founded in 1976 in response to the Gospel call for compassionate action as summarized by the Sermon on the Mount. The Catholic Worker community has four houses in Des Moines that focus on a nonviolent lifestyle while serving the poor.

Leftist logic defies me. Is a tax exempt nonprofit funding domestic terrorism?

#8 They are lucky and we're unlucky they were not seriously injured or killed.

#9 RICO. Take everything they have. Take everything the church groups that support them have. Take everything Tom Steyer and Al Gore have while they're at it.

They're the people who have been telling us that Property Is Theft for the last fifty years, make them live up to it.

#10 So, she trashes the environment in order to save it? I'd give her three years just for the misapplication of logic.

#11 Des Moines Catholic Worker community

Inside of each meek Catholic Worker,
A barking mad, well-read berserker,
Malicious and moody,
Unmissed by his Judy,
Who'd feed you entire to a shirker.

Possibly exaggerating just a hair.
