Eco-activists at Tar Sands Blockade.org express solidarity with their fellow travelers, a pack of eco-goons who showed up at an Enbridge executive’s home while wearing masks and carrying torches:
“The stand-off came to an end when Mr. Maki disengaged, retreating into his fancy house without showing any sign of actually hearing The People’s concerns. Before leaving, one activist hopped on the bullhorn to wish Mark goodnight and assure him they’d meet again.”
I’m sure a lot of people would absolutely love to “meet” them too.
Here’s hoping.

The ‘thug People’ are akin to Mary Walsh. No respect for private property and no common decency. They’re creeps.
They clearly are terrorists and should be treated as such.
Yeah,where ARE the cops when you need them? Almost every one of the “activists” hid his face,why?
Outstanding warrants,parole violation?
Just plain chickensh**?
You folks show up with masks and torches?
I shoot you. See? Easy to remember.
Boiled-down, the institutional left and their watermelon storm troopers are looters and thugs. Some obviously take that description to heart and confirm it. Stripped of reason, many invite and likely only respond to a more kinetic “debate”.
A spontaneously assembled Neighbourhood Watch, with a cast of three or four dozen men, would be incredibly useful in such a situation.
Problem is, the police would show up instantly just to make sure there’s no “trouble.”
“Where ARE the cops when you need them?” Deciding which duck hunters will be targeted next.
It’s a bad time for silly acts. Lots of independent Para-military groups are looking for a reason to go into action. These fools may get the attention of the wrong people
This was in Houston. I like Houston justice. It was very fortuitous for “the people” they didn’t experience it.
Exactly. These goons are obviously unclear on the concept of tit-for-tat, and proportionate response. They clearly feel a sense of being “protected” by their own self-righteousness, but at some point a group of people is going to wish them a “good night.”
Can’t come soon enough.
The fact that a masked, torch-wielding mob showed up at this Enbridge executivie’s house, used a bullhorn to “wish Mark” (note the threatening note of familiarity) a “good night”, and to “assure him that they’d meet again” is a physical threat and a case of menacing, pure and simple.
I don’t know if Maki has kids or not, but either way they’re crossing a very, very hard line — as in, they don’t get it. Yet.

That sort of bravado will get you arrested and treated unpleasantly. On the other hand if you go at them with lots of water from a high pressure garden hose… it’s not a chargeable offense. Just protecting your property from people with torches likely to start a fire.
12 cops and cars went to the scene of an egging in California
The left is pushing for a war. Be careful what you wish for.
SDA says “We finally read Alinsky.” Did Enbridge read it?
Where were the cops in the 1920s in Germany when the Brownshirts started showing up using similar tactics? Where were the cops in Caledonia?
This is how it starts. And fools think that fascism ended in the rubble of a Berlin bunker in 1945.
This was in Texas, yes? The custom there is to meet torch-bearing yahoos on your front lawn with a shotgun in your hand. These idiots were very lucky. If Mr. Maki didn’t have a shotgun before, I’m sure he has one now. Beretta makes a very nice semi-automatic shotgun that is very good for skeet shooting, or for varmint control.
I’m a little confused here – raving lunatics disturbing the peace and threatening violence to a man and his business in terrorist attacks, hold a public declaration of their criminal intent in front of the man’s home – and they walked home? They should be spending time in a CSIS safe house being sweated for info on eco-terror cells – or at least be held W/O bail as dangerous persons pending a hearing on terrorism charges.
I think the police in this country are too concerned about how some High River resident stores his duck gun during a flood than they are about the very rea threat of eco-terrorism which is about to descend on this country if the anti-oilsands/pipeline loons don’t get their way.
Houston is shockingly liberal these days. We’re talking people’s republic-type stuff. The next time these ‘protesters’ show up, they’ll probably be escorted (and protected) by the coppers.
I visited the site …. Kate what happened to the warnings…. I feel the need for disinfectant.
Displaying the typical eco-loon disregard for the facts ‘The People’ claim that 18 deaths were caused by the Kalamazoo oil spill but no one died according to news accounts.
This lynching party sounds like a good reason for 30rd magazines in your semi-auto rifle. That will win a ‘kinetic debate’.
The Green Klux Klan in action. Better picture here.

” wearing masks and carrying torches ”
But no pitchforks, I smell a business opportunity.
I think Terry is right. These kind of goading antics by the left have a purpose beyond the obvious. I’ve read the two Rita Royale novels by Terry and although they’re fiction it seems to layout a snap shot of what could happen. It might eventually come down to guns and bullets but only as a last resort.

Dear Red States:
Secede.
Now.
Leave the coastal cities and leftists to the mobs, and build those fences HIGH!
Of course this is typical of those that went to prestigious schools. They are owed the good life. It never occurs to them that they are responsible for their life. As it is they want it handed to them with extras, because they went to prestigious schools.
Well…..where did it get you?
That is not to say that one has no sympathy for those that had a good job and now are on the downers.
Whining is not going to help in the real world, though it may help the psyche somewhat.
It is interesting that the author damns and complains about the corporate world that gave her well paying job and then the job disappears.
Happens all the time. Suppose nobody in the fine school mentioned that.
It is the way it is.
Perhaps there is the lack of intelligent thought. The author again complains and blames the republicans when she should point her critical thinking in the direction of the current occupant of the White House.
As it is she finds it easy to blame those that she posts as enemies and those that actually caused her dilemma are faultless, being her favored.
One assumes that she voted, well she got what she wanted, what’s to complain about
Could this be why the US is going downhill fast?
Do they see it?
Do they want to see it?
It used to be that the Americans had the will and courage to take on problems and deal with them.
Not so much anymore, they want the other guy to fix them. They want the other guy pay for them. They want to blame somebody. They want to blame the other guy.
A sorry state.
Sorry, comment in the wrong place.
Someone once stated that ‘Not showing up to a riot is a failed Conservative policy!’, or some such. No?
I’m a “person”, a member of “the people”, and nobody wearing a mask and intimidating a private citizen with a torch-bearing mob “speaks for me”.
(Admittedly, I’m not a Canadian, but if they were in the US they wouldn’t be speaking for me.)
Do they realize they’re Blackshirts?
Mr. Maki has one of the needed ingredients at his disposal. Now all he needs is to make the acquaintance of a chicken farmer or two…
Whoops into moderation.
What was the key word?
