They got in with bolt-cutters? Pretty crappy locks then. Should be more like safe locks or require special IDs to unlock.
That is the perfect idea for dealing with law-breaking eco-fascists!!!
Sentence them to serve their time (a LONG time) in such a remote, primitive locale with no technology or modern energy sources. Let them try to “live off the land” in a politically correct way. Ofc few will live very long but that’s a feature not a bug!!
I was tempted to type "ignorant, stupid and evil American residents," who can only damage and destroy, not defend and protect, but...
Surely there are adults with enough knowledge to protect THIS pipeline, obviously vulnerable and easily accessible.
Valve stations every 20 miles?
Not each of them need 24/7 sureveillance. Take this particular stretch of pipeline. Give me a profile of the pipeline route and and I can tell you where the primary video cameras should be located.
Secondary HiRes cameras at each actually pump station would cost less than $200 each;and can be remotely triggered.
Prohibitively expensive? Compared to what? If the beaurocracy is in charge, it's guaranteed prohibitive. If citizen volunteers assist with the 24/7 surveillance on line, it might be a small fraction.
Alternatively, quick response teams of high speed helicopters at 100 mile intervals out in the middle of nowhere can be dispatched when the primary cameras indicate a potential security breach.
Typical leftist terrorists. My hope is that they are found guilty and that the sentence is death.
I would say that we, as American citizens and oil consumers, have standing to sue Climate Direct Action and the individual members. I for one, would also contribute to funds for the legal prosecution of these indolent parasites, insisting on severe minimum jail sentences.
Where was DHS?? This vulnerability was pointed out a long time ago.
About a month ago a pipeline from the gulf broke in Alabama and cut off gasoline to Georgia, the Carolinas and Tennessee. Fortunately, it is now fixed, but stations in the Atlanta area ran out of gas. After Katrina in 2005 there were severe gas shortages around Atlanta due to refinery shutdowns. NOTHING has been done to prevent a recurrence, so terrorists can hit the economy hard and bring things to a standstill by attacking pipelines, which thanks to DHS, are fairly soft targets.
Yes, kill them and imprison their families. Make an extreme example of domestic terrorists. Reducing our oil is a national threat.
Here is company input on the event...This reporter must be a democrap.
Fixed it for ya.
Attacks on oil pipelines, and that is what this was, have not occurred north of the Rio Grande in my memory. Oil pipelines are critical infrastructure, as critical as airports, seaports, power lines, and nuclear power stations.
People who sabotage critical infrastructure should be jailed and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This is interstate commerce. Why isn't the FBI and the DOJ involved?
I hear Attu is lovely this time of year! :-)
Preferably an Aleutian island with a sizable mosquito and brown bear population ...
Since they claim responsibility, they should be charged as conspirators. If any of the planning involved telephone calls, US Postal service, or email, the felony conspiracy charges should be escalated with RICO charges.
Sunoco has a pipe farm where trumps speech was held in Aston twp, PA. These places look like targets.

Hey Barack, this is on YOUR account. Psssst. It's overdrawn.
