It would be interesting to know what the feelings about him are in Panama.

A lot of these eco anarchists are funded by foreign countries - the Russians were backing protests against our pipelines so I wouldn’t doubt some copper mining country is likewise trying to hamstring copper mining in Panama.

[piasa]

The roadblocks have caused up to $80 million in daily losses to businesses and have shuttered schools nationwide for more than a week.

Probably a lot of people who have been hurt by these protests who would like to drive right through these protesters.

I wonder how many Americans are among the protesters.

[tflabo]

Its really not good. He let Eco leftist scums ruin the rest of his retired life. Totally not worth it for him.

those damn gringos

They guy went to Panama because he saw his own country turning into a woke, leftist sh**hole

Then he got there and saw Panama was turning into the same.

Enough to make anyone snap.

I am amazed that this does not happen more often.

There isn’t enough copper in the world — and the shortage could last till 2030

KEY POINTS:

* A copper deficit is set to inundate global markets throughout 2023, fueled by increasingly challenged South American supply streams and higher demand pressures....

"Not guilty"

Correct. He's a lawyer and professor, so he's guaranteed to be a card carrying liberal.

Life in prison wouldn’t be bad for oldsters. Free medical, free dental, free food and good security.

[lepton]

Clearly the ‘protesters’ were attempting to hold him against his will.

Then this guy is a hero.

Best comment of the thread.

"One reaches a certain age where “Life in prison” doesn’t have the sting it used to."

I've had that same thought a few times this past year or so.

In Panama, the protestors could easily be arrested by the police.

They were not arrested. Therefore, the government is complicit in the protests, for some reason.

There may be a shakedown of some type going on.

[tired&retired]

Paid for by China, manipulated by Tic Toc, just like the BLM and ANTIFA riots in the US. They want the mine.

“What did he do wrong? Do they know the charge?”

Littering - he neglected to remove the waste (dead bodies) from the roadway.

Moral: Don’t be a litterbug!
