On election night in 2016, Jessica Reznicek and Ruby Montoya set fire to a bulldozer and construction equipment at a Dakota Access Pipeline construction site in Iowa. Over the next few months, the activists used oxy-acetylene torches to melt holes in pipeline valves at three other locations in the state. It was at the height of the Indigenous-led protests against the 1,172-mile-long pipeline, which opponents like the Standing Rock Sioux tribe argued would pollute local water sources and contaminate soil. When Reznicek and Montoya’s actions failed to halt pipeline construction, they held a press conference and publicly took responsibility for their actions.
The two women were subsequently indicted on nine felony counts of intentionally damaging energy infrastructure, and Reznicek ultimately pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to damage an energy facility. She was sentenced to eight years in prison by a district court in Iowa last year.

Not a Trump supporter, or parent concerned about her child’s education? Nope, no terrorist here.
Using violence to achieve a political goal. Terrorist.
Today, with gasoline near $5 per gallon, even liberals won’t support energy infrastructure sabotage.
Their only standard is a double one. Which means that when we finally get the balls to go after them, they will get double pain.
Likely not...

Note the bit about danger to human life...
From the article:
“In a 2021 statement to the court, Reznicek, who has long been associated with the Catholic Worker Movement, which promotes a social-justice oriented interpretation of Catholicism, said she is “not a political person” and “certainly not a terrorist.”
Catholic Worker Movement which promotes a social-justice oriented interpretation of catholicism......WTF?

Sorry for the double post
Just like Bergoglio.
Lock her up................
Silly. That just qualifies ‘them’ as an “activist”. Just part of the first amendment in their view.
I demand common-sense crowbar legislation.
But remember...when crowbars are banned, only criminals will have crowbars. Like this lady....

Sounds like just another commie organization that would rather not use the word “communist” in its name.

“the Standing Rock Sioux tribe argued would pollute local water sources and contaminate soil.”
The water out there already tastes like alkali.
Time to start executing people for these things.
Catholic Worker Movement. Social justice. How nice. Execute them.
One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.
