Ohio law enforcement links Erin Brockovich to potential for 'special interest terrorism' threat in E

Full title:

Ohio law enforcement links Erin Brockovich to potential for 'special interest terrorism' threat in East Palestine

Ohio law enforcement issued a report late last month warning that events planned in East Palestine by the environmental activist Erin Brockovich could prompt a terrorist threat from violent extremists, according to an intelligence bulletin obtained by Yahoo News.

Dated Feb. 24 and distributed to law enforcement agencies by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Ohio Statewide Terrorism Analysis & Crime Center Terrorism Analysis Unit Situational Awareness [STACC TAU] report obtained by Yahoo News "assesses that special interest extremist groups will continue to call for changes in governmental policy, which may lead to protests in/around East Palestine and/or at the Statehouse in Columbus.”

The report then singles out the reaction by Brockovich, a whistleblower who helped build a successful lawsuit against the California utility company Pacific Gas and Electric in a case involving contaminated groundwater, to the Feb. 3 train derailment and release of toxic chemicals in East Palestine.

“On 24 February, environmental activist Erin BrockovichUSPER [United States person] is scheduled to be in East Palestine to explain residents’ legal rights. Brokovich has urged the community to use common sense and ask questions. Brockovich is also placing blame solely on Norfolk Southern.The STACC TAU assess this event could potentially increase tensions within the community.”

The report assesses the risk posed by Brockovich and other activist groups that have planned events in East Palestine in the wake of the Norfolk Southern train derailment and the controlled burn of vinyl chloride, a carcinogenic ingredient used in the production of plastic products after the derailment.

I should have used the sarcasm thingy, I thought others would know that I would not truly recommend that sort of action.

Seriously, I applaud your thoughts of running for office. I hope you win.

You may be sure among the people who made this decision and promulgated this warning, are people who are active members of right wing terrorist bodies.

Police see right wing radicals under arms as a sort of auxiliary police force in waiting. They conceive it as their purpose and duty to put down, violently or otherwise, persons criticizing business practices and restrictive norms of behavior from a left perspective.

This insidiously pervasive pernicious evil continues to destroy the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of our nation's citizenry.

Root out the evil.

Put it on public display.

Lock 'em up. Make 'em pay.

Reason never desists.
Reason always resists.

For without reason, our freedoms cease to exist.

May reason rule.
