Small Group Begins Sleepover to Block Atlantic Sunrise Pipeline

As we reported last week, a small group of anti-fossil fuelers were planning on grabbing their sleeping bags and heading to Amish country for a sleepover at the Magic Tree House (see Antis Plan a Weekend Campout to Protest Atlantic Sunrise Pipeline). Beginning Friday night, a group of about 50 launched their “encampment,” calling it The Stand. Supposedly this is a “peaceful” protest to prevent Williams from digging a trench across the property where the flimsy tree house shack is built. Organizers claim they don’t want any violence, like that in North Dakota (similar “peaceful” protest). They also claim someone would be present at the location from now until they are forcibly removed by law enforcement, in an illegal attempt to block construction of the pipeline. It’s a good thing the ~2.4 million miles of underground pipelines in the U.S. got in the ground before leftist enviro-nutters decided to make an issue out of it…
