BEAVER, W.Va. Environmental group Mountain Justice says six people arrested on trespassing charges during a coal mining protest are still jailed.
The group said Sunday the six have been unable to raise $2,000 cash apiece to make bail.
All six were arrested a day earlier at Richmond, Va.-based Massey Energy Co.'s Marfork Coal mining complex in Pettus. Mountain Justice says they were protesting Richmond, Va.-based Massey's plan to blast at the mine.
Mountain Justice and a group called Climate Ground Zero say blasting could cause a coal slurry dam at the site to collapse.
The arrests are the latest in a string of approximately a half dozen trespassing incidents at Massey mines in West Virginia this year.
Massey operates mines in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia.
Are they going to arrest Barry when he starts shutting down coal mines?

(Not far from a true story from the archives of knarf)

LOL! Couldn’t happen to a better crowd. Maybe they’ll meet some new ‘friends’ in jail...
And those new “friends” will likely be WV coal miners that were picked up in a bar brawl or some such thing.
“The group said Sunday the six have been unable to raise $2,000 cash apiece to make bail.” That’s a Shame.
I guess the mountains couldn’t come up with any cash in appreciation. Maybe they can take it out in coal.
Now, that’s a video for YouTube...
Left Wing Crackpot: There must be some mistake. We were told that George had our back.
Operator: He probably said he'd use your a**, not that he had your back. There's a difference.
No doubt the coal mining companies had to come up with reams of stats to show the EPA boys, so it is a simple request to tell those bozos to back up their claims that the blast "could" cause a collapse - I mean something other than their "feelings".
Hopefully they'll come out of jail with knicknames like "Sweet Cheeks", "Cuddles", etc.
