Ohio Passes Bill Punishing Illegal Protesters at O&G Sites

| | | | |
Anti-fossil fuelers love to protest things. Fine. Let them protest. This is (still) America. But when antis tip over into illegal acts like blocking legal activities of building pipelines or drilling wells, or when antis tip over into acts of vandalism like destroying equipment, that's NOT okay. Antis call it "protesting." We call it criminal behavior. A bill just passed in the Ohio legislature calls such activity what it is--crimes. And now (provided Gov. DeWine signs the bill into law, which is expected), such miscreants will pay stiff fines and in some cases do jail time for their crimes.
