"Bristol DA drops charges, says protesters were right" by David Abel | Globe Staff September 08, 2014
Bristol District Attorney C. Samuel Sutter knew the law. He also understood the threats posed by climate change.
In the face of record cold and snow winters and a summer that never was we get this!
So for days he grappled with what to do about the two environmental activists facing criminal charges for blocking a 40,000-ton coal shipment last year to the Brayton Point power plant in Somerset.
Just as the trial was about to begin Monday, Sutter decided to drop all charges.
Then, in a dramatic appearance at Fall River District Court, he said he empathized with the stance of Ken Ward and Jay O’Hara, who said they were acting to reduce harm to the planet when they used the lobster boat Henry David T. to block the shipment to the coal-burning plant.
How about shutting down the biggest polluter on planet Earth, the AmeriKan war machine?
“Because of my sympathy with their position, I was in a dilemma,” Sutter said afterward. “I have a duty to go forward to some extent with this case and to follow the applicable case law, but they were looking for a forum to present their very compelling case about climate change.”
Sorry, but there is NO BUT when it comes to the LAW!
Yup, AmeriKan ju$tice is all arbitrary, and THAT is NOT America!
He added: “I do believe they’re right, that we’re at a crisis point with climate change.”
Well, YOUR PERSONAL POLITICAL BELIEFS should NOT BE a FACTOR in what LAWS are to be ENFORCED!
The turn of events stunned the activists....
--more--"
What the article proves is those protesters were approved controlled opposition. Otherwise, they would no have such a glowing appearance in my new$paper.
