This is growing tiresome. Appalachians Against Pipelines, a group backed with big money from Big Green, continues to funnel paid "protesters" to construction sites for the 95% completed Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), mainly in Montgomery County, Va., who chain themselves to equipment requiring state troopers to carefully remove them (requiring hours), slowing the already challenging work to complete the project. And then local county judges don't do anything to stop it (see Va. County Judge Refuses to Stop Illegal Activities of MVP Protesters). About 25 protesters showed up at a Montgomery County construction site yet again yesterday. Three of them --- every one of them from out of state --- chained themselves to equipment (using "sleeping dragon" devices). All three were arrested and removed, but at the cost of yet another delay.
