  Josh Thomas commented: I think that these brave people, no matter where they reside, should be held as heroes for standing up for what they believe! This is what OUR country was founded on! Whether or not you agree with them, you should appreciate that they are standing up for all West Virginians. Also, Braden, you make the people of this state, miners included, look bad by spouting your ignorance. Please keep your profanity & grammatical shortcomings to yourself!

    Massey wife commented: I totally agree with you Braden. The damn stinky ass tree huggers need to go home take a bath and get off of our taxdollars and get a job like a real man (our miners) My husband works for Massey, and I did for ten years until dec 09 (i quit because coal mining allows my husband to make a good income so i can stay home and have children and be home with them the way it should be)These damn protesting treehuggers sure dont mind to live off the welfare my husband and you pay taxes for. If they put as much effort in getting a job as they do getting in the way of a real man's livlihood. Theses stinky tree huggers make me so made, I could go on and on about it, but I know you are a hard working American and I wont waste any more of your time. GOD BLESS THE AMERICAN COAL MINER AND THEIR FAMILIES. God bless Massey Energy for giving West Virginia a good means of livlihood.

  azure73 added this video and said: Dramatic footage refutes Masseys claim that protesters battered miners. Mountain Action and Climate Ground Zero have now released dramatic video footage that documents the June 18th protest at Massey Energy’s Twilight mine site. “By releasing this footage we can clearly demonstrate that protesters were not involved in any violence, did not assault anyone and were even allowed by the operator to climb the stairway leading up the boom,” said Climate Ground Zero director Mike Roselle. “People can look at this footage and judge for themselves, but we think it proves that Massey’s claims that the protestors were violent are not supported by the facts. It was a non violent demonstration, and like the other peaceful protest that have been held to stop mountain top removal since early February no one was threatened or harmed in any way.” “These drag lines are destroying the Appalachians and endangering our future.” said Roselle. “They endanger local communities by exposing them to toxic materials and flooding. They need to be shut down and that needs to happen sooner rather than later. The purpose of the protest was to call attention to the true cost of mining and burning coal.”
