Colorado Paper Refuses To Retract Letter Calling For Violence Against Frackers

[roberth]

“If the oil and gas industry puts fracking wells in our neighborhoods, threatening our lives and our children’s lives, then don’t we have a moral responsibility to blow up wells and eliminate fracking and workers?” Andrew O’Connor wrote in a letter to the paper’s editors.

The actual letter.

I don't interpret this as a call to murder oil field workers but I can see where some people would. How long before there are calls for violence against gas stations or people using vehicles deemed "a pollution hazard" or "gas guzzler"? I realize he is talking directly about the extraction method known as fracking.

I wonder if Andrew knows what the word "hypocrite" means? He is obviously using electricity which is mainly generated by burning coal or natural gas (he might have solar panels on his roof though), both of which are EVIL fossil fuels, I'll bet he drives a car and his house is heated with natural gas.
