Ship channel is closed, but these idiots once again use petroleum products to protest oil.

I wonder if they’re using nylon ropes?

They need to start prosecuting these idiots and this stuff will stop.

It's hard to imagine being so fricking stupid that your campaign is centered around the slogan "It's time to end the age of oil"

BREAKING: We're in Houston shutting down the largest oil export channel in the country to resist Trump & the oil industry for fueling this #ClimateCrisis.




Throw these frickers in jail for a month, then tar and feather them.

HOUSTON — Greenpeace activists are hanging from the Fred Hartman Bridge in an effort to block traffic in the Houston Ship Channel.

A portion of the traffic in the Ship Channel has stopped from Light 102A to 104 due to the demonstration.

So far, the incident is only blocking one northbound lane on the bridge itself.
A pair of wire cutters will fix that real quick.

Just send over a Marquette towed barge. I'm sure they can knock them down.

Saw them gathering on the side of the bridge this morning, honestly just thought they were construction workers.

Don’t understand why the vessels can’t continue to move, if they fall who cares

And fining them for impeding business.

I know for the railroad, if a commercial vehicle gets stuck on a crossing causing them to shut down rail traffic, the company that owns said vehicle gets fined by the hour (I think).

Perhaps they have something similar for ship channels.

This gives me an idea. We need to convince them that if enough of them jump from the bridge they’ll eventually plug up the shipping lane.

Do these idiots that protest things actually get permits to do so? If not, how is anyone but themselves to blame for any negative thing that happens to them?

Says the people who are using literally everything that requires crude oil for it to be made. From the iPhone to tweet the message, to the clothes on their back, to well, everything.

I don't think these stupid motherfrickers realize that.

When I read that Greenpeace activists have been publicly hung, it gets my hopes up.
