Daryl Hannah Arrested at White House
NBC Washington ^ | August 30, 2011 | NBC News

Posted on 08/30/2011 10:32:30 AM PDT by Brandonmark

Much-arrested Hollywood actress Daryl Hannah was taken away from the White House in restraints Tuesday afternoon.

Hannah was taking part in an ongoing protest against the unbuilt Keystone XL oil pipeline.

"Sometimes it's necessary to sacrifice your freedom for a greater freedom," Hannah said in Lafayette Park before her arrest. "And we want to be free from the horrible death and destruction that fossil fuels cause, and have a clean energy future."

Together with dozens of others, Hannah sat on the sidewalk in front of the White House and refused three requests from the Park Police to move.

The group organizing the protest, Tar Sands Action, has said the Keystone pipeline -- which will stretch from Canada to the Gulf -- is among the most important environmental decisions that confront the president.

It’s amazing what Talent Agents can get their clients to do when they become totally irrelevant in the Movie/TV Industry.

This is Larry Darryl and Darryl - she is apparently their less intelligent sister Daryl. ;)

“... we want to be free from the horrible death and destruction that fossil fuels cause, and have a clean energy future.”

OK.

Say... did you WALK from Hollyweird to D.C.? Or did you travel by private jet?

%50 says she didn't bike or walk to the White House.

Yeah, let’s go back to all of the horrible diseases people got from horse poop lying all over the place.

I don’t want this shrew haggling me to sacrifice my “freedom” for her social conscience. However, I wouldn’t mind seeing pictures of her naked or near-naked back when she was in her twenties. That would be fine.

Bikes and sneakers require evil fossil fuels too to be made and delivered.

Well, I maintain that if someone wants to bend my ear about the evils of fossil fuel... and I see they’re not wearing any plastics and they came on foot or horseback or dogsled or whatever... I’ll probably listen, even though I don’t agree, just out of pity.

Otherwise? Get your hypocritical petrochemical-consuming butt back in your SUV and drive on outta here, pal.

Apparently Darryl has been driven nuts over the fact she’s likely the only female on this earth named Darryl. Her daddy must’ve wanted a boy... badly.

Shut up and act isn’t appropriate here since she really doesn’t act. Shut up and strip?

I understand celebrities are getting arrested at the White House by appointment. (MAKE-UP! Cue cameras. Rolling.)
