    Pro Nuclear Vandals Strike PDF Print E-mail
    Contributed by Jim Elliott   
    Tuesday, 19 May 2009

    The debate around nuclear energy in the Peace River area is no longer peaceful.  Pro nuclear vandals attacked a 40 foot trailer used by nuclear opponents to get their message out, according to a May 22 press release.  The vandals painted swastikas and profanity on the side of the trailer and then threw molotov cocktails to try to further destroy the sign.

    Further, they cut the farmer's fence along Highway 743 to get at the trailer.  The horses in the field could have easily gotten onto the highway and been involved in a collision with a vehicle.

    The damage to the sign was not bad enough but the molotov cocktails could easily have started the grass on fire and with farm buildings within 200 feet of the trailer the effects could have been easily worse.

    This attack on their message came a day after two  nuclear opponents received death threats because of the letters that they wrote to the newspapers voicing their concerns about the potential nuclear reactor in their area and its impacts on their farms. The RCMP are investigating both occurrences.
     
    Peace River residents are being asked to be the nuclear sacrifice zone for Alberta yet the local, provincial and national media have provided scant coverage of our concerns. This week, it was vandalism and death threats. Will someone have to be hurt or killed before our struggle becomes newsworthy?
