I understand that people may differ on oil and gas exploration based on potential pollution and "climate change". While I believe the pollution risks can be meaningfully minimized and that global warming/climate change is the biggest hoax perpetrated on modern cultures, I know there are many who feel the opposite and probably won't be swayed. But what bothers me is the overt lawlessness of this measure, regardless of the underlying oil/gas concerns. Yes, our country is deeply divided, but as far as I can tell only the left promotes anarchy and lawlessness as a means to an end. This is the kind of stuff the Communist party and SDS was promoting in the 50s and 60s. So, I'm left with a feeling that many on the left, and probably all of the activists, support lawless activity and perhaps violence in some forms to get their way. I have heard some lefties say Occupy Wall Street was non-violent protest and while that may have mostly been the case, there were assualts, rapes, and other violent crimes they committed.
