[Secret Agent Man]

Execute them publicly.

It will stop others doing so.

[Mr. Douglas]

It’s ok because they know they are right.

[lacrew]

Let me guess - these terrorists rode bicycles to get there.

[shalom aleichem]

Terrorism, pure and simple

[AU72]

Bill them.

[normbal]

Headline broken.

“Climate change terrorists shut off oil pipelines which provide 15% of daily US consumption”

There, I fixed it for you.

[MUDDOG]

hopefully the activists will spend some time in jail

Some time? Throw away the key.

[Buckeye McFrog]

it would be cost prohibitive to place round-the-clock guards at all of the possible places where a pipeline could be shut off.

Sounds like a job for armed robots

[Busko]

These environmental terrorists should be shot in the public for anyone to see! They are the cesspool that is not being watched!

[shotgun]

Is ELF (Earth Liberation Front) back in business?

The pipelines have valve stations every 20 miles, many of them in remote locations and protected by nothing more than a locked fence. Reuters quotes a Canadian pipeline security specialist who says, given that there are 200,000 miles of pipelines in the U.S., it would be cost prohibitive to place round-the-clock guards at all of the possible places where a pipeline could be shut off.

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.

[hal ogen]

Typical leftist terrorists. My hope is that they are found guilty and that the sentence is death.

[The Sons of Liberty]

Climate change activists shut off cross-border oil pipelines in Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, and Washington on Tuesday. The activists broke in to unguarded valve stations and shut off the flow of oil before being arrested.

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.

[VRWCmember]

Climate Direct Action, the group which sponsored and promoted this, is now raising funds for the legal defense of the activists.

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.

If they did it, so can ISIS.

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