Wisconsin Democrats oppose intimidating ecoterrorists

[Amelia]

After a long fight, Wisconsin finally streamlined rules to allow some new mining to be possible. Until recently new mining was a theoretical possibility but companies knew that even after years of trying to jump through regulatory hoops, any applications would probably be denied. Now it is a real possibility here.

When Gogebic Taconite opened a test site for iron mining in northern Wisconsin, ecoterrorists vandalized their equipment, threatened employees and allegedly put up roadblocks to stop police help from getting there.

A Republican legislator introduced a measure to authorize the Dept of Nat'l Resources to restrict access to the site but that measure was scuttled.

This is part of the Democrat reaction to the situation:

Senate Democrat Bob Jauch, who represents the place where the mine would go, says Republicans are, “overreacting to the illegal actions of a few who haven’t been seen or heard from since.”

Well now the company has hired armed guards and Democrats are outraged.

From the OP link:

Several photographs of armed guards dressed in military-style camouflage and combat gear, apparently working for the Arizona-based Bulletproof Securities Force, have appeared on anti-mining blogs in recent days.

Excellent. Word is getting out to the tree huggers not to fuck with this company.

Democrooks have no problem using these sociopaths to interfere with other people's prosperity. They also prevent ecoterrorists from ever being prosecuted.

Jauch is a big fat fucking dickweed.

I have the extreme displeasure of having that waddling asshole as my State Senator.
