Panama would not be a country I would pick to block traffic in. Irritability is a national characteristic.
A 77-year-old man shot dead two environmental protesters on Wednesday in an apparent outburst of rage over a roadblock in Panama. The gunman was named in local media as Kenneth Franklin Darlington Salas. If he is convicted, Mr Salas could be sentenced to house arrest rather than being sent to jail because of his age. The protesters, who were opposed to a controversial mining contract, had blocked the Pan-American Highway in Chame, 51 miles from the capital Panama City. Footage posted on social media showed the motorist walking from his car, demanding the protesters get out of the road. Initially, Mr Salas removed tyres which were obstructing the road. The protesters, according to witnesses, shouted at the man: “Are you going to kill someone?” The gunman replied: “You want to be the first?” He opened fire, first shooting a protester holding a flag and then a second man who went to confront him, before walking off and removing tree trunks that had been blocking the road. He was then arrested.
Go here to read the rest. The shooter is a lawyer and a professor which of course explains everything. Love it if I could defend him. A tragedy that anyone died, but the climate change cultists have been asking for such a response ever since they blocked the first road.
Enough II’s enough.
Imagine your child is being rushed to the hospital and the ambulance is stuck in traffic. Your child ends up DOA.
The corpses could be used to generate energy I suppose, but the fumes probably would contribute to more greenhouse gases. 🙁
Best to give them a proper burial.
Yes. I will be praying for their eternal rest.
Maybe if the police had done their jobs a little better and acted swiftly to arrest the pests then this man would not have cracked it, and now be facing criminal punishment.
Anywhere in the world you see this sort of disruptive behaviour, the police are nowhere to be seen. Are these people untouchable?
At last, a serious attempt to reduce carbon.
That second picture, with the bullet casing in the air, shows a matter-of-fact man resolving the issue. I don’t agree with his method, but you are right, this was bound to happen. If the law is not enforced, the people will start doing it themselves.
Forgive me if I am just a little suspicious that there is literally a smoking gun photo.
Truth is getting rarer – don’t believe everything you see.
Tony Annett will begin postulating the cause to canonize these these Climoscare Cultist Roadkill as martyrs in 3-2-1.
Description is a bit off, the video had him shooting the guy who was advancing on him holding a flag pole.
Just a reminder that with Social Sciences as opposed to Physical Science, reactions to precipitating actions, are not just equal be can also be greater or less. That is also how wars have been started.
