Background checks only matter if you are looking for a job.

They should have been charged with attempted murder. Had one of those idiot snowflakes fallen from that high, they could have seriously injured or killed somebody on the ground.

I’m waiting for the construction company to sue Greenpeace and these minions for damages and loss of use.

Sue them for every penny involved in removing from the crane, removing the banner, re-inspecting the crane before it could be safely operated again, etc.

I hope they reimburse the construction company the $50,000/day rental on that crane and the local merchants the revenue lost while the streets were closed.
