Erin Brockovich Says “All Clear My A**” As Ohio Braces For Tough Road Ahead
The Free Press-Tampa ^ | 02/26/2023 | Danielle Shockey

Prominent environmentalist Erin Brockovich hosted a packed town hall meeting in East Palestine, Ohio, Friday to relay information to local residents affected by a Norfolk Southern train derailment that released toxic chemicals into the town earlier this month.

Brockovich and Mikel Watts, a trial lawyer, informed residents about the action they can consider as the town continues to rebuild itself after a controlled burn was conducted on derailed cars carrying chemicals including vinyl chloride and others associated with health hazards such as cancer.

She kinda makes me nervous. She’s an environmental activist who works with trial lawyers. It’s her job to stir up the ppl. Not saying they’re not totally justified but once it turns into a class action lawsuit, it could be decades until they get relief.

I notice that the above article is from Business Insider; a once decent organization now infested with lying leftists.

East Palestine is going to be like the aftermath of the covid injections - deep, sweeping, and very worrisome. My son who never had the injection, on my advice, is now newly married to a woman who took one injection for her job and now they are trying to have a child. How it will all work out is very worrisome.

When she mentions ass-ets, a couple of things come to mind.

“a controlled burn”

MY BUTT.

From what I have read they could have pumped this junk into trucks and taken it into a near by factory that could have done a low O2 controlled burn.

They were more interested in getting the tracks cleared, their business back up running then people’s lives.

Disgusting.

The citizens have clearly been harmed. I have no problem with lawyers suing on behalf of their clients when the harm to them is obvious and measurable. This is not the kind of lawsuit where the clients get next to nothing. There will be individual lawsuits with specifically name plaintiffs.

When I heard “controlled burn”, so the tank pressures did not get too high, I thought a burn nozzle or something was connected to the tank, and the liquid was burned straight out of the tank. Today I saw they dumped the contents in a drainage ditch and burned it there. This was the work of our hero first responders. What a joke.

I’m afraid the crooked capitalists who burned the toxins into the air were looking for the next big paycheck by trying to clear the rail line as quickly as possible.

The Democrats and Republicans have all become kiss ups for Big Business. They forced a contract on the railroad workers last December for example.

The fellatial relationship between Republicans, Democrats Big Banks and Big Business is not acceptable.

DON”T want to think about whether or not your A** is clear.
At any rate your 15, 25, 45, 55 min is WAY over.

Do you think she’s lying about toxins in East Palestine, Ohio?

Almost certainly. There is a great deal we do not know.

Are there bad effects? Probably. Some people are very sensitive.

How bad are the effects?

We do not know.

She is not a scientist, or a medical professional.

She is a professional fear monger.

Then you think Republicans are lying and Joe Biden tells the truth based on the messages in recent weeks in the aftermath of the derailment,
