I think the action plan is clear: If these plants can be vandalized at will, the companies that operate them should decommission them forthwith and let Britons squat in the dark.

Or raise the prices considerably, citing increases in security costs. That’ll take the starch out of the casual environmentalist.
GO GREENIES!

Badges? We don’t need no stinkin’ badges.

Like the ELF vandalizing SUVs in dealerships. Way to stick it to the man…. who owns the dealership. GM or Ford, not so much.

Excellent! If Britons want to let ecopests destroy their infrastructure, let them pay for the privilege of protecting and/or repairing it. Like Mencken’s democracy, if that’s what they want, give it to them good and hard.

Madness.
Comment by Jeffersonian on 9/11 @ 3:38 pm #
I mean, if it’s morally virtuous to vandalize them, doesn’t it follow that it is morally squalid to repair them? Why has this court refused to enjoin these plants from sending out maintenance personnel?

My favorite from the comments at the independent.co.uk article…

Stealing one of Ace’s riffs, I can imagine the Ike Turner defense: “Hey, I didn’t really want to kill the dude, it’s just that this Global Warming is screwing us all up! The dude clearly wasn’t recycling and he runs his AC day and night. You see the size of his SUV? I killed him in self-defense. Well, Gaia’s self-defense.”

So…if a judge determined that, due to PDS/ODS, killing opposing
Ah nevermind….

Just remember decisions like this (and Canada’s Hate Speech show trials) next time a Democrat like John Kerry begins arguing that American laws need to pass a “global test.”

If it’s upon James Hansen, I can construct the lawful excuse. IANAL though, so I wouldn’t run with that in any hurry.

I think we already has justifiable homicide. It’s called battered wife syndrome.

I had to go look just to see Happy’s comment. It was very good. Happy turns commenting into an art form.
I’ll admit. I’m kind of a happyfeet commenting groupie.
I know I’m not the only one.
Comment by BJTexs on 9/11 @ 4:32 pm #
I’m with you, Carin! *sigh*
This is not a new tactic although it’s bending of an existing satute is cute in a mob mentality kind of way. I’m sure that these same big thinkers would stand by abortion resisters who bomb empty clinics.
What, no?
Anarchy is not a answer, it’s a destructive disease.

Can the burning of the Reichsta…..errr…Parliament be far behind?

It’s official. We’re fucked.
Out.

We already know that leftards believe that their holy ‘outrage’ entitles them to act like complete foaming-at-the-mouth idiots. I’m sure a certain thread regular that fancies an Asgardian nom de plume will be along shortly to prove this.

Anthony Watts and William Briggs both have posts up highlighting the delightful part the great NASA scientist James Hansen played in fucking up the energy supplies of my country.
Brigg’s post does give him some justification, but probably not the sort he craves.
When a nice big high pressure system centres itself over the south of England in the middle of winter and the windmills stop turning and France refuses to sell us any of their nice clean nuclear energy thus leading to a week long power cut for London, I’m pretty sure Hansen will not be in the fallout zone when 10 million cold and hungry Londoners come out looking for food and fuel, but I sure hope those greenpeace bastards are.
How’s that for an ecological distaster you assholes!
Comment by Obstreperous Infidel on 9/11 @ 5:33 pm #
Yep, Wattsupwiththat has a very nice writeup, as usual about this, too. Some of the commenters mentioned that at what point, as Jeff surmises, is it justified? How about attacking the workers? Attacking the workers transportation? The jury was full of morons who have bought, wholesale, the AGW bilge. As for our Mr. Hansen? We paid for that trip to run interference for law breakers. Time for him to step down. Hansen’s job is allegedly a science post. I don’t think activism is science.

Not commenting on comments (which I’ll read later), but on the story:
That’s fucking idiotic and it pisses me off.
Fucking stupid. Fucking useless.

The interview as shown live at 6:30pm EST was one of the most choppily cut/edited pieces I’ve ever seen on an MSM nightly news show. I’ll assume for now the reason was program time compression and lack of assembly time but it is worth noting how odd it seemed I think.

There WON’T always be an England.
Sad thing is this isn’t an aberration, but simply a data point.

Can’t I just, y’know, like, be mildly annoyed against the machine instead? Slightly peeved, maybe somewhat testy?
