All MVP Tree-Sitting Protesters have Now Dropped Back to Earth
We're happy to report that "Fern" and "Decard" have joined "Ink," "Sprout," "Red" and "Nutty" back here on Mother Earth. No, we're not talking about a new Disney "Snow White" remake (Sneezy, Sleepy, Dopey, et al). The names we listed are the names of so-called protesters who have been sitting in the tops of trees (or in the case of Fern and Nutty, on top of poles) in Virginia, part of an illegal action to prevent the construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline. These last two protesters, Fern and Decard, were recently forced down to earth and arrested. Pipeline construction through the areas they once occupied has resumed. Which is good news. This bunch of kooks were making a mockery of our justice system. Nutty was a woman who sat on top of a pole for nearly two months. Yeah, her self-selected nom de guerre was appropriate. She finally came down two weeks ago when she ran out of Snickers bars (see MVP “Nutty” Protester Drops Back to Earth – Out of Food). But around that same time, another woman, Fern, went up a pole about a mile up the road from Nutty (see “Nutty” is as Nutty Does – 2nd MVP Protester Goes Up a Pole in VA). Fern only last a couple of weeks--not nearly as long as her "hero" Nutty. We're just happy to say that all of the nuts have now dropped to earth and we can put this sad chapter behind us...
