SIOUX FALLS, S.D.- The federal prosecutor said a grand jury indicted Greenpeace and 11 individuals for conspiracy and other misdemeanors for hanging a global warming banner from Mount Rushmore National Memorial.
U.S. Attorney Marty Jackley said Greenpeace provided planning and training for co-conspirators and hired a helicopter so it could photograph and record the event in the Black Hills on July 8.
Jackley said some defendants tried to impede responding law enforcement officers by placing locks on security gates and chaining themselves to areas where it would be difficult or impossible to get around them without risk of personal injury.
Other charges against the individuals include trespassing, climbing Mount Rushmore, aiding and abetting, and interfering with a government official.
I’ve always heard the dumbasses at Greenpeace weren’t very bright. Photoshop would have been a hell of a lot cheaper. The photo would have looked better too. Oh well, maybe next time.
How much gas did they use driving to Rushmore?
(or pickle juice or bean sprouts or whatever their hippymobile runs off of)
How much jet fuel was used to fly out there if they flew?
How much electricity and fuel was used to make that sign and ship it?
How much fuel did that helicopter use that took the picture?
How much energy will be used by the authorities and the courts and all who participate in the trials?
Stupid greenies. Makes my want to set up my BBQ grill in the bed of my F-250 SuperDuty and let the engine idle while I grill some giant steaks.
