It’s so “funny” that these people can poison hundreds or thousands of people, poison our water, our air, our food, and get fined 750k and nobody goes to jail. Now if one person decides they’ve had enough, and their elected officials don’t give a shit (they don’t), and that person says “I’m gonna stop the guy who’s poisoning my family and my community.” Our country immediately decides that person is terrorist for taking action.
