    I thought the title was going to be a little click-baity, but it wasn’t. 5-year and 4-year for planning to disrupt traffic is horrible. As the article points out, the dissonance between this sentencing and the actual harm caused by large-scale polluters is insane.

      If the sentencing is gonna be that bad for something minor, maybe dramatically up the ante next time.

      Drunk drivers that crash and actually ended up disrupting traffic get lighter sentences than this.

        This is fucking spot on and honestly I’m disgusted thinking about it.

        So endangering the public, disrupting traffic, and potentially killing someone because you crashed your car while shitfaced is better than planning a protest I guess.

        Oh yeah I forgot…of course the crime of offending and defying the ultra wealthy oil barons is worse than potentially killing a not rich person. They own basically everything at this point.
