Credit where credit is due. Fox News Jesse Waters has been holding the spotlight on the government and railroad officials who have been downplaying the issues after the toxic chemical spill and explosions in the town of East Palestine, Ohio. {Direct Rumble Link}
The residents of the community are reporting several ongoing health issues and a community townhall was scheduled today. However, executives with Norfolk Southern Railroad cancelled their attendance, leaving the citizens of the community frustrated. Additionally, the railway contracted air and water testing with a company well known for minimizing the effects of environmental disasters to satisfy its corporate employers {Go Deep}.
Residents are being asked to sign liability waivers indemnifying the railroad, prior to the private testing of air and water quality. This just seems very sketchy, all things considered and raises additional questions from the residents. The federal EPA is not providing any assurances or answers. Jesse Waters outlines some of the issues tonight during an interview with Ohio Congressman Bill Johnson.

"Overblown", they say.
And no one has yet identified the military officer who ejected Evan Lambert and had him arrested, nor has anyone explained by the military was apparently in control of a civilian news conference by the GOVERNOR.
Regardless, this Waters segment is worth a watch (at link).
Update:
Norfolk Southern Says they “Accidentally” Asked East Palestine Residents to Sign Legal Waivers as Condition of Contamination Tests
“Senator Vance said he talked to a resident about it, then reviewed the contract and confirmed the indemnity demand. Vance then immediately called Norfolk Southern Railroad officials and asked them about it. According to Vance, the response from Norfolk Southern Railway was that the liability waiver was accidentally presented. WATCH (@24:54 Prompted):”
Is it wrong to think maybe certain people should get the treatment Yves Massarde recieved at the end of the 2005 movie ‘Sahara’?
Like minds.
And no, for the record.
But this is all overblown.

Overlords do not answer to the peasants.
Pete avoided it too. Bunch of cowards
the owners of the railroad and the investors
Must be FORCED to trade their best homes with
those whose homes they destroyed for $$$$$$$$$$.
That’s been out for a while. Major General John Harris, Ohio NG. CNN reported on it.
I have some family in that area. The railroad people cited actual death threats as the reason they did not come to the townhall. They probably would not have come anyways but the death threats were real.
“The railroad people cited actual death threats as the reason they did not come to the townhall.”
Poor babies. Warren Buffet, Vanguard, and Blackrock are TPTB in Norfolk Southern. You’d think they could cough up a few thousand dollars to provide a security contingent for a few hours with townspeople.
Weak feckless people. If the residents were black hoodlums, the RR would’ve been there with coffee and donuts, and their mealy mouths would be kissing ass.
“And no one has yet identified the military officer who ejected Evan Lambert and had him arrested”
I just found it:

A body camera video from an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper shows that Ohio National Guard Maj. Gen. John Harris appears to be the aggressor, speaking to Lambert’s cameraman during his report while a state trooper motions Lambert to stop.

The Adjutant General is a member of the Governor’s cabinet and is responsible for the command of the Ohio Army National Guard, Ohio Air National Guard, Ohio Military Reserve and Ohio Naval Militia. The Adjutant General supervises the flag officer heads of these components in the day-to-day operation and management of the readiness, fiscal, personnel, equipment and real property resources of the agency.
Holy cow! THANKS!
First I’ve seen since the bodycam footage came out, and certainly first here at FR.
I posted the article for the citation of the waivers. I neglected to highlight that fact.
Yeah, that’s what happens when something is being overblown. Narrative is more important.
Projection: It’s your moral imperative. /s
Our nation has zero accountability at all levels.
BS, they are trying to coerce people into letting them off the hook on Liability. Just like a car accident, never sign anything from a company or an insurance company.
