Canada Pipeline Bomber arrested?

Mr. TM

Throwing a tantrum

Wiebo Ludwig has quite a history for me. I grew up about 15 kilometers from him, the man who was convicted of trying to scare the oil field away from the region. He failed, in fact, it has grown by 100x. But this was a decade ago, and he was since arrested, but spent minimal time in prison.

Now for the past 14 months, oil field pipelines were attacked in the region, and Wiebo was a suspect, but not a major one. However, today he was arrested.

So what do you think of the story?
 
Well, this is a tough one for me.

A) I think that whomever is doing these attacks have a warped percerption on what "doing good for the citizens" actually is. Although, most of the pipelines that were attacked were not near any major centers of population it doesnt take much for a bomb and a pipeline mixing together to get really fucked up fast and people could become severly sick or injured from these "attacks".

B) But at the same time alot of what the Oil Companies do are near or beyond criminal yet they are allowed to continue on with their actions. So, its a difficult situation.

Would I want to see the Oil Companies be held accountable for their crimes against the environment and against hundreds of Canadian people? Of course, without a doubt. But do I want to see more Canadians become sick and injured in the process of trying to send a message? Absolutely not, seeing as in the end the Oil Companies make to much money for themselves and for the government and they will never be stopped.

As the great Metallica once said........ "Sad, but true".


(P.S: I guess this isnt an international CNN story eh?)
