This is pretty normal, unfortunately. Really pisses me off. I'm more surprised to hear about protests where there is no police brutality and unwarranted arrests.

Good ol' West VA.

The coal companies are being a brutal and harsh bureaucracy? Doesn't surprise me. The situation in Matewan, in particular, comes to my mind.

If anything, I'm actually sort of surprised the current protests weren't quashed more violently. /cynical

I heard about this on Democracy Now. Really, we should start pestering Obama about this whole 'clean coal' fallacy

Is it time to start tinting our avatars black in solidarity?

I'd go with red, it's more traditional, haha
