Blogger at From on High has these comments, comments that I don't need to add to as many of southeastern Ohio job seekers feel the same way.
"Now, This Should Break Your Heart
Boo. Freaking. Hoo.
Actions have consequences, children. You want to save the planet by denying the only jobs those miners have available to them? You'll be doing it from a jail cell, sweetheart. Hopefully, for a long, long time.
Heck, if we're lucky, it'll keep you from going back to that badminton major you're pursuing over at Virginia Tech.
Now that's Mountain Justice."
Link to story here....from EuroNews24.org no less.
"BEAVER, W.Va. - Environmental group Mountain Justice says six people arrested on trespassing charges during a coal mining protest are still jailed.
The group said Sunday the six have been unable to raise $2,000 cash apiece to make bail.
All six were arrested a day earlier at Richmond, Va.-based Massey Energy Co.'s Marfork Coal mining complex in Pettus. Mountain Justice says they were protesting Massey's plan to blast at the mine.
Mountain Justice and a group called Climate Ground Zero say blasting could cause a coal slurry dam at the site to collapse.
The arrests are the latest in a string of approximately a half-dozen trespassing incidents at Massey mines in West Virginia this year.
Massey operates mines in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia."
