No Bond for 2nd MVP Tree-Sitter – Sitting Butt in Jail Until Trial

Nearly two weeks ago MDN reported that the final two "tree sitters" (a man and a woman) who were illegally blocking the path of Mountain Valley Pipeline by living for months/years at the top of several trees, were finally removed from the trees where they were living by law enforcement (see Final Two MVP Tree Sitters Arrested, One in Jail Until Trial). The judge in the case ordered the woman (from Vermont) to sit her butt in jail until her trial because she's a flight risk and may scarper back up a tree somewhere. The judge has just ordered the same sentence for the man (from Massachusetts). He's a flight risk too and has demonstrated a total disregard for the law, so he now gets to sit his butt in jail until the trial as well.
