The response they got was the expected and understood refusal to drink the water, and an acceptance by an EPA official of their petitions. Meanwhile, the EPA building behind them was guarded by a counted 20+ cops-and bag searches at the Metro station entrance there. As soon as the protest ended, the DHS bag search checkpoint was withdrawn from the Metro station<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the bag searches were because the EPA had previously identified the main contaminent in this well water as uranium? They said the water was \u201csafe to drink\u201d yet told a neighbor not to even use it to bathe their children. I guess the idea of uranium entering the EPA\u2019s headquarters even as part of a sample of contaminated drinking water is enough to draw a full-on \u201cterrorism\u201d scare, given the blunt \u201canti-terrorism\u201d labels on the body armor worn by the DHS cops. Why is it OK for water to come out of someone\u2019s well that is considered a terrorist emergency if even one drop gets on the Metro, much less inside a Federal building? Why are the gas frackers not called terrorists for putting uranium in well water that may be consumed by children?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dcdirectactionnews.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/10\/pa-residents-challenge-epa-officials-to-drink-fracked-well-water-bags-searched-at-metro-in-response\/\">Click here to see the pictures and video<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dcdirectactionnews.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/10\/pa-residents-challenge-epa-officials-to-drink-fracked-well-water-bags-searched-at-metro-in-response\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">View Full Article at DC Direct Action News <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: DC Direct Action News October 11, 2014 On the 10th of October, anti-fracking activists and a resident of Dimock county in&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":3452,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[105],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-coverage"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.11 -
