The IRS needs to start enforcing its own laws and regulations against these liberal lefty non-profits.

Laws prohibit them from engaging in political activity using our tax dollars.

Rip up the federal funds for Greenpeace. Make private folks finance these shenanigans

Sick of seeing my tax dollars used for causes I don’t support and if you don’t think womensmarch.com didn’t use yours, you are stupid!!

The crane owner should have them arrested - trespassing, endangering passersby, some Union reg against them, etc. Leave them hanging and don’t let them down. What’s temperature supposed to be tonight? Any rain in the forecast?

I believe the word you’re looking for is “extortionists.”

We normally think of extortion as some 300lb Guido with brass knuckles extracting “protection money” from a Chicago shopkeeper. The stereotypical line being, “You give us what we want and nobody gets hurt.”

But isn’t that what these crane-climbing idiots are saying, after a fashion? “You pay for us to hold up your use of your equipment so we get what we want and as long as we don’t get hurt you won’t be sued.”

It’s the average Joe just trying to mind his business who’s getting hosed, whether it’s the shopkeeper, this construction company, or a truck driver hung up in a protest-induced traffic jam.

Greenpeace is an international criminal organization that needs to be dismantled under RICO statutes.

WHERE is site security? How is it they even got as far as they did? Lucky the construction equipment if not the new construction itself wasn't bombed or burned to the ground.

This is what the Left calls “democracy.” This is what they do instead of voting.
