Anacortes, in Skagit County, is the center of Washington state oil refining. Protesters were camped on the railroad tracks to keep oil trains from reaching the refineries. 52 were arrested for trespassing.

When leaving, the rest of the thoughtful protesters eschewed wasteful gas-powered transportation, and flew off on solar-powered unicorns, leaving their trash, because hey...unicorns can only carry so much garbage.

Those protestors must be pretty rich and privileged if they can afford to leave all that good stuff behind.

The county should clean up the mess and send a bill to whomever financed the protest. Ragheads. Envirofags. Whomever.

“Those protestors must be pretty rich and privileged if they can afford to leave all that good stuff behind.”

Not to mention that average Americans have to show up at jobs.

"Anacortes Police Department spokesman Lou D'Amelio confirmed that the trash was from the protests, but said it was unclear if it was left intentionally or on accident."

In other words no charges will be filed.

It’s OK to leave trash on the evil corporate railroad tracks.

“What the environmentalists really think of the environment.”

Completely wrong. They were leaving the garbage deliberately, in order to give the illegal alien Mexicans some work.

I know, but back when that came out, it worked on me, I couldn’t even think of littering after that.

Of course, it should just come with being a good steward of the Earth, something these “Environmentalists” seem to have no idea of.

“intentionally or on accident.”

Is there something in the littering law that says “intentionally or [on] accident?

No. There isn’t, as far as I know. It is the leaving of trash behind that is the offense. Is there are gradation of some sort that would make a deliberate trashing more offensive than an accidental one? No, there isn’t. Is it transdeliberate trash, that began its life as one type and then felt offended and switched to the other type?

I guess it would so long ago and far away to point out how when Tea Party rallies occurred at National monuments and parks the grounds were left spotless.

Its like my new neighbor who is worried about “climate change”.

Her yard is nothing but a sh**house of junk and garbage all over the place and a lawn about a foot high now.

One has to pause and take note when the lefties fail to get sympathy from the equally leftist KIRO TV spokesmoron.
