It would sure be a shame if the miners got a group together -- informally, of course -- and helped the protesters to fall down the stairs. Repeatedly.

Seriously, why would anyone allow these bong-hugging bozos to berate them like that?

Katie Kloth, the Stevens Point woman who was charged last month by Iron County authorities with robbery and criminal damage to property in connection with a protest against the proposed Gogebic Taconite iron mine, has spoken out on her actions.

It’s on a web site, Penokee Defenders. A legal defense fund has also been created on her behalf.

Kloth is critical of a comment from a Gogebic official who said that activities on June 11 by the protesters, which included damage to mining equipment and theft of a cell phone and camera, amounted to eco-terrorism.

Says Kloth, who also goes by the name, “Krow”:

“Those who fight against the destruction of the water, land, plants, and human and non-human animals of the Penokee Hills and Bad River Watershed are not ‘terrorists.’ The only terrorists are those who plot to blow up the hills with ammonium nitrate and use the power of the state’s policing apparatus to repress and send fear and division through the communities that oppose them. Gogebic Taconite (GTAC) and Chris Cline have millions of dollars and the support of the state to destroy the Penokees.”
