A group of climate protesters were taken into custody for trespassing outside Sen. Ted Cruz’s home in Houston — after they marched 400 miles to get there, refused to leave and “chose to be arrested,” according to law enforcement.
The eight who were arrested were part of a larger group of about 70 people protesting about climate change Monday morning.
“The large majority of the group are extremely peaceful out there expressing the First Amendment rights to protest against climate change,” Assistant Houston Police Chief Ban Tien said in a video posted on Facebook. “Unfortunately, there was a small group who were actually trespassing on private property in front of the senator’s residence.”
He said police warned the group a number of times to stay on the sidewalk and not go near Cruz’s home, but they refused.

So when does this group protest outside the homes of Gore, DiCaprio, and every other Left-wing ‘hypocritical celebrity’? Let me know when that happens.
Right on time, every start to summer the nut cases get vocal.
If they are that concerned over man made global warming, wouldn’t it be more productive if all 70 stopped exhaling CO2 permanently??
Wasn’t NYC supposed to be under water by now, according to algore?
Wow they were actually arrested, but then again that idiot Acevedo is longer here.
Sorry Miami, but your top cop is a moron.
Send them T-shirts that say "SAVE THE EARTH- KILL YOURSELF".
Killing Carbon sucking Grass , they should be SHOT
Ted Cruz is a government official. So, is this not an insurrection?
Can we jail these insurrectionists for months without bail?
From a 2007 issue of Imprimis, long but revealing:
Science proceeds by the scientific method and draws conclusions based on evidence, not on a show of hands. But aren’t glaciers melting? Isn’t sea ice shrinking? Yes, but that’s not proof for human-caused warming. Any kind of warming, whether natural or human-caused, will melt ice. To assert that melting glaciers prove human causation is just bad logic. What about the fact that carbon dioxide levels are increasing at the same time temperatures are rising? That’s an interesting correlation; but as every scientist knows, correlation is not causation. During much of the last century the climate was cooling while CO2 levels were rising. And we should note that the climate has not warmed in the past eight years, even though greenhouse gas levels have increased rapidly. What about the fact—as cited by, among others, those who produced the IPCC report—that every major greenhouse computer model (there are two dozen or so) shows a large temperature increase due to human burning of fossil fuels?
Fortunately, there is a scientific way of testing these models to see whether current warming is due to a man-made greenhouse effect. It involves comparing the actual or observed pattern of warming with the warming pattern predicted by or calculated from the models. Essentially, we try to see if the “finger-prints” match—“fingerprints” meaning the rates of warming at different latitudes and altitudes. For instance, theoretically, greenhouse warming in the tropics should register at increasingly high rates as one moves from the surface of the earth up into the atmosphere, peaking at about six miles above the earth’s surface. At that point, the level should be greater than at the surface by about a factor of three and quite pronounced, according to all the computer models. In reality, however, there is no increase at all. In fact, the data from balloon-borne radiosondes show the very opposite: a slight decrease in warming over the equator. The fact that the observed and predicted patterns of warming don’t match indicates that the man-made greenhouse contribution to current temperature change is insignificant. This fact emerges from data and graphs collected in the Climate Change Science Program Re-port 1.1, published by the federal government in April 2006 (seewww.climatescience.gov/Library/sap/sap1-1/finalreport/default.htm). It is remarkable and puzzling that few have noticed this disparity between observed and predicted patterns of warming and drawn the obvious scientific conclusion. What explains why greenhouse computer models predict temperature trends that are so much larger than those observed?
The answer lies in the proper evaluation of feedback within the models. Remember that in addition to carbon dioxide, the real atmosphere contains water vapor, the most powerful greenhouse gas. Every one of the climate models calculates a significant positive feedback from water vapor—i.e., a feedback that amplifies the warming effect of the CO2 increase by an average factor of two or three. But it is quite possible that the water vapor feedback is negative rather than positive and thereby re-duces the effect of increased CO2. There are several ways this might occur. For example, when increased CO2 produces a warming of the ocean, a higher rate of evaporation might lead to more humidity and cloudiness (provided the atmosphere contains a sufficient number of cloud condensation nuclei). These low clouds reflect incoming solar radiation back into space and thereby cool the earth. Climate researchers have discovered other possible feedbacks and are busy evaluating which ones enhance and which diminish the effect of increasing CO2.
When criminal trespass occurs, shoot the two closest intruders. See if the others are smart enough to run. If not, repeat the lesson. Either way, evolution is served...and we all know how the left wants us to support the science!
Who are paying these professional protesters?
Who do you think?
Amazing that not one law enforcement agency, with all that has gone on in this country since last spring, has taken the time to find out who is paying for the buses, hotel rooms, food, pallets of bricks, bail money, etc and at least made the info public, if not trying to prosecute them.
Word on the street is/was, that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation found out that one person was posting all the bail money for anyone arrested, associated with the riots in Atlanta, last year.
Don’t remember seeing that person on the news or being questioned as to why they were doing it and where they were getting the money for it.
Can’t you shoot trespassers if they are damaging your property?
That very rare and fragile Texas Green grass is being crushed by the Fatarsed Red Head.
Bet they were out in no time and all charges dropped.
Mar-a-lago was supposed to be flooded by now, too.
My guess would be George Soros.
Well, they never believed in property rights anyway.
