What the hell is wrong with this country when horrendous environmental disasters go virtually unpunished, and non-violent, non-destructive activism result in the possibility of months in jail?
Environmental activist Ted Glick is facing possible jail time for hanging banners on the Hart Senate Office Building. One of the banner's read "Green Jobs Now" and the other read "Get to Work". That hardly sounds like the kind of dangerous anarchism that deserves jail time, does it?
But, the fact is that Glick faces a maximum penalty of 3 years in jail, and while he's not likely to get the max sentence, there is a good chance he could end up serving months in jail. Especially since the prosecuting attorney's are pushing for a severe sentence.
