Blocking ship traffic to the Houston Ship Channel, on the day of the Democrat debate in Houston.

I wonder if they are using nylon ropes made from oil based products?

Attachment Attached File


Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the department is monitoring the demonstration. According to NBC affiliate KPRC in Houston at least a dozen protesters were involved and the group said they plan to stay on the bridge for 24 hours.

The demonstration comes hours before the third Democratic 2020 presidential primary debate Thursday night at Texas Southern University.

"We challenge every candidate on stage tonight to promise to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable if they become president," the group wrote, adding the hashtag "PeopleVsOil."

A two hundred pound person is little more than a pinata to any ship tall enough to contact them.  No reason to even slow down much less stop or divert.

If they're not using rope made from grass they're hypocrites.

Now, I am no Isaac Newton, but I do believe the human body is incapable of stopping an oil tanker's forward inertia when underway.

Let the ships come and go as scheduled and see if they swing around like a fleshy human Newton's Cradle.

Easily solved.

Houston residents need to go to the bridge and start pouring stuff over the edge. Or just piss off the bridge.

Of course not. They drove their hybrid, solar powered plugins.

How did Greenpeace window lickers arrive at their destination at the bridge?

Bicycle? Horseback? No?

I'd wager that they are part of the problem, wasting fossil fuel for the sake of worthless media whoring.

Rules for thee and not for me.

Back in the eighties around here EarthFirst used to spike trees with rebar that were marked for removal. They would bore holes at 45 degree angles into the trunks and pound in the rebar. Did a number on the poor arborists trying to cut them down.

Was going to say it would be a darn shame if those ropes were cut.. I can only image the forces being put on them with repetitive movement back and forth against a flat metal edge.. Friction is a bitch.
