Out-of-State MVP Protester Delays Drilling 7 Hrs – Arrested, Removed

An out-of-state, paid protester locked herself to a piece of excavating equipment used to build the Mountain Valley Pipeline early Saturday morning in Montgomery County, Va. She used a sleeping dragon device (arms in a PVC pipe wrapped in duct tape). She was there for seven hours, causing a delay. Virginia State Troopers and Montgomery County Sheriffs finally freed and arrested her. The unnamed protester was charged with a misdemeanor, and bail was set at $2,500. Here's the thing: She was there protesting the pipeline because it's fossil energy--yet the device she used, the sleeping dragon, was made from fossil energy! What a dodo bird.
