Hundreds of kids arrested at White House in Keystone Pipeline protest
American Thinker ^ | 03/03/2013 | Rick Moran

About 300 people were arrested at the White House - most of them students - in a protest against approval of the Keystone pipeline.

The reasons they oppose the project are so far out in left field, they aren't even in the ballpark.

Politico:

More than 300 anti-Keystone XL protesters were arrested Sunday afternoon outside the White House in the latest push by environmentalists to convince the Obama administration to reject the Canadian oil pipeline.

The student-led protest, organized by XL Dissent, started with a rally at Georgetown University. The students marched from there to the White House — with a stop at Secretary of State John Kerry’s house along the way.

Students from 80 colleges participated in Sunday’s event, and another protest will be held on Monday in San Francisco, said Aly Johnson-Kurts, a freshman at Smith College and one of the organizers of the event.

“The youth really understand the traditional methods of creating change are not sufficient … so we needed to escalate,” said Johnson, shortly before she was arrested at the White House.

An organizer estimated the crowd at about 1,200 people. U.S. Park Police could not immediately provide a count of those arrested Sunday afternoon.

Organizers held civil disobedience training on Saturday to ensure that the demonstration went peacefully.

What a bunch of multiple stupid misfirings of recessive genetic material!

Should their parents therefore be arrested as accessories?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Ive was in Washington last April on a Wednesday when thousands of illegal aliens have taken over Capitol Hill and the sidewalks causing Americans to have to walk n the streets..I got elbowed a few times and ran into and poked with their seditious signs..

No organized march no permits (who needs steenkin permits)just entitled illegal aliens with bullhorns demanding they be allowed to conquer and their invasion validated..

none were arrested..

Peak oil is dead, and so are the enviro-whackos Marxist dreams. They are going to be desperate and violent.

17 and younger are kids.

Fat ass adults that have no means to support themselves are just bums.

Most likely under 26. That’s the threshold for adulthood in the Era of Baraq.

They want China to get the oil that Keystone would send to us.

Communists.

Why did they stop at 17? Wouldn’t 12 be better?

I hope that the age to receive matriarchy, errr mean “child” support gets lowered to the 17th birthday as well.

Here in NYS, mom can receive mommy payments for her “child” well after the age of 21, yet said “child” is viewed as an adult for voting purposes at age 18.

I say this as a college student; the age to vote should be 25.

Fire hoses, tear gas, and dogs. The trifecta for unruly crowd control.

“...17 year old can vote in all elections.”

Primary elections only.
