Arrestable At Hazelwood

[carzyfuk]

Wana make a difference then do it the way every other poor bastard has too.

rather than doing stupid pointles shit like this that gets you locked up with a record and even further down the "we are serious ladder"

now everyone who has seen this protest just thinks your a bunch of moron stoners like I do!.

IDIOTS!!!

[uknowispeaksense]

We have the opportunity to show the world how to reduce emissions. The ZCA2020 plan produced by Melbourne Uni promises to reduce emissions, create tens of thousands of jobs and reduce the average Aussie electricity bill to just $8 per week. Don't believe me? watch?v=qImNRuV4G0Q

[democratickindeling]

Ok Coal is dirty etc. but there is no other way to run a furnace!!! Or run a railway...'transition from coal'?...to what? wind-turbines? or you wanna go Nuclear? and spouting their opinion as fact? (global warming is manmade) weeping Jesus on the cross... these eco hippies are smoking too much weed (although that's not possible...to smoke too much weed...)

[Tressco]

Can't comment here...

[mikma]

mikma was here

[ROBwithaB]

My experience is that these sorts of protests only really work to draw attention to a cause, to get an issue into the news. Unfortunately, the "unruly hippie" tag can sometimes do more harm than good to your cause.

The protest will not change anything by itself. To bring about change, you will usually need to go the legal route, using the existing laws of the country and even activating for changes to the law.

So it becomes political.... Which isn't nearly as much fun, unfortunately.

[hellonewman114]

thanks for smoking that environmentally friendly cigarette

[killtroy811]

Who is the hottie from .36 to .53? And 1:04 to 1:06? She is sooo HOTTTT!!! Hook me up Sean!!!

[A1R5N1P3R]

Okay, I'm all for living smart, aka solar energy, and conservation, but can we plz have a cameraman tour the protesters homes and film the solar panels fixed to their rooves and the pedal powered battery chargers. Because one generation protests Nuclear, then another protests coal, how many days do you all go without light?

[BDotBoom]

How many protests have you guys had so far? Do you think the gov is listening yet?

Good luck, SOH!

[MonkeyMagic88]

The 'man made global warming' scam is just the latest invention by The Rothschild Banking Mafia to rob stupid people of their hard earned Rothschild bank notes. I'm all for clean living and cleaner power sources , but I'm not paying taxes for a so called "carbon footprint" to the Rothschild's of London... Al Gore is a slimy snake oil salesman and needs to be punched in the head repeatedly.

[atothej2009]

how come the protesters seem to all look unemployed? scruffy treehugging hippies...

how is protesting on the doorstep of a power station going to change anything?? cut your hair, have a bath, buy a suit and become a politician with a massive following, then seriously make a change...

[Nic33rd]

Gotta keep fighting! Keep up the good reporting!

[Idi0cracy]

3:53

A poor man's Heath Ledger?

...or... I knew the bastard was alive. Apparently he had some surgery here and there, but... . He is depriving us of his enormous talent.

[prodigyofsin333]

waste of time,think about it

[p717]

I wonder how long it's going to take and how much worse it's going to get before we have an international series of Ceauşescu moments. - that is, when the MAJORITY joins in to HELP deal with the problems, rather than just take the poison they're given and pretend that there are more politicians than common folk.

[f1nalfantasy]

cool, thanks for making the vid. it's about time polluters like coal got some attention

[2FLUFFY4U]

I just don't get the mentality of people who criticise the right to protest. Your probably the sort of fuck wit who believes women voting isn't normal , would prefer black people sat at the back and you'll say fuck wit things like war is good for the economy. Getting up and protesting about things we believe are wrong in the world is fortunately something we can just about still do. It sends a message to the fuck wits that the little cunts aren't happy. Good one Sean.

[seanbedlam]

"Getting up and protesting about things we believe are wrong in the world is fortunately something we can just about still do."

Yep, and it's a eye-popping to see people argue that we shouldn't use that freedom. Why would anyone ever want to fail that hard?

[wolfy02]

i love people like this. Save the planet from pollution! Did you drive here? Well yea how els -- no, you can't drive anymore. Can't ride a bike either, the factories spew out too much pollution when making it. So you'll have to carve a bike out of some dead wood because if you cut a tree down, thanks to you, you'll get fined.

[seanbedlam]

Did someone fart?

[missdivinestalls]

This is such a cool idea.

[Gimmeabreakman]

btw...COKE!

[Gimmeabreakman]

u mean u still have hope!? good on ya, mate!

[seanbedlam]

Not having hope is not option. Men without hope get no sex.

[Gimmeabreakman]

That would be a rebel without a cunt?

[seanbedlam]

Good heavens sir! Well I never! Such language!

[yamahaeleven]

Nuke 'em, nuke 'em all.

[Hedonophobia]

"Protesting is goverment sanctioned bullshit but climbing over a fence WILL CHANGE THE WORLD"

No. No it wont.

If people want to change the system they have to take part in it and change it from the inside. Standing on the outside and shouting soundbytes from wikipedia, is not going to do a fucking thing.

[seanbedlam]

I was originally going to call this video, "Climbing over a fence will change the world", but it was too long. Sad really, because very single person there that day honestly believed that if just a few more people had gotten over the fence we would now be living in Utopia, a Utopia where you can have a nice sandwich whenever you want.

[SauronsEye]

It's the freaks like the gay guy talking about having to wear pink that scares away the average protester.

Guy sucking of a ciggy and complaining about how coal fired power is affecting his world...won't he be dead soon?

If I was a cop, I'd love these protests. It'd be like the rodeo where you lasoo the calf but instead of the calf, you get to taser or pepper spray protesters who jump the fence. A fun afternoon + you get Bedlam's vision for the family album. Sweet deal that one!!!

[DanOlooney]

if you got that feeling jump up and touch the ceiling or cell ,entertaining getting the word out

[seanbedlam]

You're an average protester. Boo!

[christ2006]

that dingus shouldn't smoke cigarettes.

these vids are interesting.

i wonder if it's worth it to get arrested like that? i mean, does it change anything?

i agree with the person who said to get rich, get powerful, get into politics, and make a difference in a way that the stiffs who control the world will understand.

[analiasahotmail]

It gets people to think about something, if nothing else, and at best it motivates others to get off their asses and stand up for something. Do yu remember that lady whose son was killed in Iraq who quit her job to picket George Bush...all by herself. alone. One lady who, even though she didnt' get any satisfaction from the bastard or even a meet and greet, she did get a lot of people's attention about the war and made it personal for a lot of people who wouldn't have otherwise cared.

[christ2006]

yeah i get that. but at least that got attention. this issue is getting little attention at all though. it's not right, don't get me wrong. but would it be worth getting arrested? in the broader scheme of things. i admire people's passion. but they'll spend the night in the lock up, maybe appear before a magistrate, and who will care?

[analiasahotmail]

it got my attention and I live all the way over in (fuck all if you ever heard of it) town in Wisconsin, USA.

By the way, who the fuck are you to denigrate someone else's efforts? What the hell have you done lately?

I CARE.

[christ2006]

yeah but what are you gonna do about it? i am not "denigrating" anything. why don't you re-read my comments and try to understand before you reply in the first place. also, try not to resort to swearing. it's weak.

yes, i know wisconsin.

[analiasahotmail]

It's on my mind and I talk about it with people who believe that coal is "clean" because their teevees tell them it is. That's one of many things I do.

I don't resort to swearing. I enjoy using the Fuck word occasionally, so get over it.

=)

[seanbedlam]

Just out of interest, why is that guy a dingus? Any thoughts?

[christ2006]

just for smoking cigarettes - if you're going to fight global warming, don't light up... also it's stupid to slowly kill yourself. so if you want the world to be pure, it seems like smoking is a great way to pollute your body!

[seanbedlam]

Are you Satan?

[christ2006]

no i just think it's dumb to smoke, especially when you are "learned" - it's a no brainer.

[seanbedlam]

Are you aware that smoking is addictive, and that it alleviates depression and anxiety? No, of course you don't. Enjoy whatever it is you think you're doing.

[christ2006]

i am aware that it is addictive. and no, it does not alleviate depression or anxiety. it only does that once you are already addicted, and even then, who cares, because you will drown in your own lung tar. i am a good viewer of yours, been subscribed from the beginning. i don't like your attitude any more. you need to be less jaded, and stop assuming you are automatically better than everyone just because you tape a few rallies. jesus. i am unsubscribing.

[seanbedlam]

Ah, get over yourself, tiger.

[Rudenewt]

I don't see what your complaining about, you're getting everything you've asked for. Some non-existant cause to waste time railing against, an oppressive government to treat you like an idiot and kill you cause your supposedly bad for the environment and a sandwich. Make my sandwich a hot one using coal generated power plz. And if you really wanted to stop it you wouldn't use it, oh yeah I forgot mankind can't exist without electric power as he always has since the dawn of time. Yawn.

[seanbedlam]

Next time you trim your fingernails, use clippers. In this way you won't run the risk off painfully ripping it down to the quick.

[teenspirit1]

Activism is pointless. Shameless capitalism will solve all world problems.

If it doesn't destroy us all first.

[truvelocity]

I recommend the book, "Investing in Renewable Energy"

[SapperK9]

France, the nation with over 90% of its electrical energy NOT produced by carbon...

Tasmania, the State with over 70% of its electrical energy NOT produced by carbon...

[RDJim]

There is no climate change. Silly hippies.

[seanbedlam]

Sounds like someone would like a nice sandwich.

[whiskerchild]

Good for them!

Thanks for the video.

[1LBRTY]

All these people sound like the girls from Abbey Winters. What's that all about?

[seanbedlam]

I have NO IDEA what you're talking about.

[Canucklug]

Here's to nuclear power.

[BlueBarrier782]

I have a question... What is powering your computer and what charged the camera battery you used?

[seanbedlam]

In my case it's burning contempt for my political enemies.

[BlueBarrier782]

hahahaha

You do not disappoint as always.

[Svendar]

That shows how powerless the masses have become... Although it's better than doing nothing, the only thing they've achieve is getting to the other side of a fence to get arrested on the other side while the CEO is drinking a 1000$ bottle of imported red wine... You want effective solutions, become rich and backstab capitalism with your newly acquired power... And be creative about your backstabbing...

[seanbedlam]

MLK is reborn.

[Svendar]

@seanbedlam : Thanks for the compliment and I may had that you see clearly my friend :)

[DisgruntledInsomnia]

Maybe but I doubt very much those cheap shop stock macs were made that way

[downhill240]

Realy nice vid Sean. it has come down to a struggle between the economic powers not wanting to change their direction in order to sustain their greed and those who realize that such a path will lead to a complete break-down in the Social-economic structure of the future. The powers that be use every trick they can to stop, alter or slow down the process of change. The real problem is population and no-one wants to talk about it. I think the world optimum Pop. was reached in 1950, 2.5 Billion.

[simeoneous]

Good to see The Mighty Boosh getting involved @ 4:00.

[ByronGiant]

I say get one more carbon footprint out of that thing... and burn that mother down!

[Projoiner1]

Mmm, at least one soul got it right ....more pink

More pink helps most things :o)

Thanks for the video, keep up the good work

[Wyrdmaven]

fair dinkum. they are starting to run ads in Uhmurkah about "Clean Coal" which focus on the people who make a living in the coal industry. We still dont get it...a few people lose their jobs (if they aren't able/willing to learn the new energy jobs) so that means we shouldnt care about the environment or global climate change, etc. A few people out of work and the economics of it VS the fate of life on earth. by the time the "clean coalers" wake up, it'll be too late.

[seanbedlam]

Even if you or I could finish every one of our sentences by physically making our heads explode, some people would still resist any change that was suggested by people who see the need for change. For some reason, people who can see what needs fixing are not be trusted. Anyway, I don't care, fuck that shit, we've go stuff to do! :)

[RikuAOW]

The DROUGHT, the green grass in the background, that's linked to climate change.

[seanbedlam]

Are you trying to make my head explode?

Here, have a nice sandwich while I think about how an Australian could come up with the Green Grass Theory of Drought and not die of bullshit in the process.

[azrienoch]

Looks like these protests keep growing and growing. Good for you all!

[Newradical78]

How does this affect or change anything, you wasted tax money and police manpower...

Just curious but when has a picket line ever done anything?

[seanbedlam]

I dunno. Google it?

[prusaks]

loled, climate change. can anyone say that he/she wont buy anything that is "helping" climate change? try not to buy something that is from plastic, rubber, live with out electricity and use outside toilet, then you will say - fuck the climate change and give my tv/pc back.

[seanbedlam]

I agree that this is an emergency and it would be best if nobody tried to do anything about it.

It's only fair, really :)

[JumpTeigen]

Some protesters are just plain stupid! 4:00 whats up with that? He really thinks people are going to take him seriously with that shit on his face?

It will certainly be interesting to see what happens to coal plants in the years to come! imagine if a country like Australia, which gets almost 100% of its electricity from coal plants, was able to completely abolish, heck just even half its use of coal in electricity prod! That would be quite an accomplishment!

[seanbedlam]

People wear costumes to these things because it defuses the tension and reduces the chance of violence.

Now, who'd like a nice sandwich?

[JumpTeigen]

Ok good point!

Just ate though! but thanks for the offer!

[MustafaPresents]

If you really want to end the military/industrial state that is slowly poisoning our planet, then you're going to have to support the one global community that is actually fighting these people on the ground. Peaceful protest certainly has it's place, but it's a symbolic place in the face of such a ravenous wolf. And you don't rebuke the wolf as it's eating your child, you shoot it.

[BonesTheCat]

MustafaPresents,

Then you'll bitch and moan when they stick you in a 'Gitmo' without charge for conspiracy to commit terror. Fuck wit.

[MustafaPresents]

They wouldn't take me alive, bones.

[BonesTheCat]

lol Good luck with that Give us a heads up when you're off.

[DisgruntledInsomnia]

I would be more inclined to support things like this if it wasn't all long haired hippies getting stoned outside the place. I also found it funny to see so many people in macs. Aren't they made of plastic.... I'm sure oil is in that so is that really any better?

[seanbedlam]

"long haired hippies getting stoned outside the place"

Thanks Dubya

[DisgruntledInsomnia]

Its true. I actually agree with the course but people like that just ruin all credibility.

[seanbedlam]

Yes, in a world of people who are busy trying to appear norrnal, credibility is very important.

[DisgruntledInsomnia]

It is when you're trying to accomplish anything.

[seanbedlam]

You lack credibility.

[christ2006]

lol sean this guy's not trying to discredit you or the cause. he makes a good point.

[DisgruntledInsomnia]

Perhaps, but I am not the one trying to change the world.

[christ2006]

of course it is. it's sad but true.

[christ2006]

i totally agree. noone is bashing the cause, but these people do ruin the credibility. no matter what, people will always say "stupid hippies" so why not take a course of action that does not end up with your entire cause being belittled by bullshit generalisations? the face of the cause does need to be credible.

[seanbedlam]

You keep up the good work there tiger. The cause can always

use more armchair warriors.

[christ2006]

hey you know what, it's nice to see your videos or whatever, and come on, i am always supportive of you. but your attitude is ridiculous and i am unsubscribing. the only thing you want to hear is yourself. it's pretentious and retaliatory and childish. enjoy alienating people, if that's what gets you going.

[DisgruntledInsomnia]

Sean.... you use armchair warriors, but the truth is, they do less damage to any course than protesters in the means you're showing. You always say how super intelligent etc you are in your video's then why not stop fighting a one man battle against two people that don't disagree with the course just the poor attempt at reaching the goals and actually set up a working means to an end. Not sitting around smoking weed and shouting at people earning money to feed their families?

[seanbedlam]

Prepare yourself: I'm not interested in your point of view. Okay? Couldn't give a fuck. Move on.

[DisgruntledInsomnia]

So all you want to hear is people agreeing with you all the time? That's a sign of a very insecure individual.

You're funny but not that funny. If you cannot even debate your course with someone who doesn't disagree how do you ever hope to win? Seriously...

You wont have to worry about my comments again. There are thousands of comics like you on here, so I will unsubscribe to you and find another to entertain me.

[seanbedlam]

You're not debating, you're trolling.

[christ2006]

then why should anyone give a **** about what you have to say? you are very childish. neither myself nor disgruntledinsomnia have been in any way offensive or in any way belittling to you. since when is it wrong to debate? you are the douche in this situation. it's just embarassing for you.

[seanbedlam]

You call that debate? You're a fool.

[DisgruntledInsomnia]

How can it be classed as trolling when I have said nothing negative about you?

Now if you want me to troll here we go...

Now then, You're a useless failed comic that is struggling to make a living on youtube as you cant make it in the real world, you're alone, unloved and unsuccessful. You're taking out your blatant hatred on yourself on others in a way to mask your own weakness and self loathing. You're a jealous little man that tries to lie to himself making yourself seem important.

[seanbedlam]

That's what I call a flame out. :)

[Xakryn]

The question is, how long will it take before we see real action? Is this why, in my lesser moments, I'd rather see anarchy erupt in the streets. At least the end of civilization would mean the end of climate change. My generation is brain dead though, and if the worst case scenarios is true then climate change is like being born with a terminal illness. I don't think people truly make the connection between death and the destruction of the environment.

[SamuelDrake27]

I read the first sentence in the description box and I thought, "Woah! That's great! They really did make a difference!" Then I read the second sentence and I thought, "......Jesus fuck." Well, I guess it's still a step forward. At least it's gotten the government's attention in some way.

[jogayot]

at least power outages will not be televised, either.

excuse somber humour...

[vibrantlight1103]

they should have jumped the fence then run in as far as possible and handcuffed themselves to something solid like a sign post or a guide rail. and they should be as far away from each other as possible. if you have 10 people handcuffed to something right next to each other then you then can be removed in one shot. but if you've got ten people 50feet away from each other its gonna be a major pain in the ass to remove them :)

[Votn]

I'm Canadian and the crap that's going on in Austrailia freaks me out.

Especially the firewall, that's just screwed up.

[Pipistrello]

So, the guy who thought it was great that some people got over the fence, and wished more people would try to go over the fence... Did he try to go over? Just asking. lol I just found that humorous. I was arrested at such a protest once when they wanted to build a pumping station to divert river water to cool a nuke plant many miles away. We lost that one.

[seanbedlam]

He's in a wheelchair. But anyway! ;)

[Pipistrello]

Well don't I feel like the fuckin' ass-hole. LOL Thanks mate.

[seanbedlam]

Heh.

[DouglasUrantia]

Looked like everyone was having a jolly good time.

All you get for jumping a fence in USA is a slap on the wrist.  And that big manly cop tackled a girl...wow, real man there.

[FluxRostrum]

are you shitting me? in "the States" you don't even get to the fence without a face full of spray and rubber bullets.

[seanbedlam]

The law has been changed since this event. Jumping that fence now will get you a huge fine or a year in the clink. That's for a fake fence that was built around a car park for the occasion. And you should have seen the awesome number of cops! Bloody hell, they should put that energy into fixing the original problem....

[DouglasUrantia]

I suppose it depends on the circumstance we're talking about but I will defer to you in this case.

[FluxRostrum]

except for the School of America's annual pacifist reunion (line crossing)... getting to the the place you actually want to protest has become practically impossible in the US .. unless it's stealth.

[BonesTheCat]

At DouglasUrantia,

Hang on a minute, penis man. So cops can only do the job they're told to do, and paid for, when it's what, not a chick?.

Totally logical there matey. SRSLY, you're a fucken genius. Want a medal, or one of Mr Bedlam's sandwiches, or something?. How about we finsh that lobotomy you got half done. Stop jumping fences man, or try landing on your feet for a change.

[Uberjoe19]

These people are really making a difference, sort of.

[P00P0STER0US]

Civil disobedience can be successful.

[seanbedlam]

No it can't! ARREST THIS MAN!

[P00P0STER0US]

lol. I liked your tweet about Martin Luther King Jr and Ghandi and the feminist movement. The powers that be are expert at marketing the psychology of giving up before giving effort.

[seanbedlam]

A whole lotta 'skeptics' and 'contrarians' at the moment have no idea what a bunch of pissants they sound like. You can only say, "Pshaw!" and "Oh no you don't!" so many times before it becomes obvious the real issue is swallowing what Daddy says.

[grenangle]

Moe. Now there's a shit town. I'm from Gippsland, now in Sydney and would not of heard of this if not for your vids.

[seanbedlam]

Heh. Channel Ten were right there and their report was unreal, "There was no protest." I saw that and thought, "Hello reporter who was there all day right next to me. At the protest." The Meeja at work is an eye-opening thing.

[dismutased]

Yeah it's a bit shocking isn't it, I saw some of that blatant lying at S11.

[seanbedlam]

Everyone should go to a protest at least once, then watch the news that night. It's an education.

[dismutased]

Totally agreed, what a profound eye opener it is. You don't process mainstream media in the same way again.

[seanbedlam]

Yep. After S11 I was not the same bedlam. But hey! The good part is being there and feeling the electricity running through a crowd of focussed people who are having a go.

[Pipistrello]

Yeah it is. I never realized how fat my thighs look on TV. Yuck.

[cudthree]

interesting to see that protester smoking a cigarette, supporting another evil industry and poisonous habit.

do you have green power options there? here we can opt to pay our power bill to the bullfrogpower company which only buys from renewable sources.

[grenangle]

Looks like a doobie, perfectly acceptable.

[seanbedlam]

Yes. That's very, very important. Smoking. Yes. Bad. Crucial.

[daregularperson]

Although I do understand your goal in fencejumping is a way to garner attention, I think it is otherwise pointless. There has to be another way of bringing the government's attention without petty fence-jumping.

[seanbedlam]

Tell us what that is.

[jmeiskues]

Wasting time protesting in front of power plants. Channel that energy into changing something, figure out how you can be sustainable on your own. Spread that message. Jumping fences and landing in jail is just idiocy.

[seanbedlam]

Would you like a nice sandwich?

[jx14aby]

It looked like the 7th inning stretch at Yankee stadium when some drunks ran out onto the field.

Morons.

And I'd like a roast beef sandwich. That should do it.

[seanbedlam]

BOOOOOOOO!

[DeflocculatedDentist]

The biggest cause of global warming is actually the output of the meat industry, which makes up about thirty-five percent of the human-produced greenhouse gasses pumped into our atmosphere (according to the U.N.).

[mistaspot1]

Now if only someone would do this for the superhighway they're building in the Amazon rainforest.

[BonesTheCat]

I'll help if there's drugs and easy woman. Or I'll just wait for the global collapse and run my own clan. Like clan of the cave bear....'cept with poon.

[divinacomedias]

Pink is right.

[ShrimpedND]

Couple of points: That was horrendously obvious editing. Those monstrosities that are coal-fired power plants gave you a warm bed to sleep in at night. Transition doesn't happen overnight, anyone who thinks it can is rather niave. Tresspassing (with intent to cause criminal damage to property?) and making the police chase you will do you no good. The police have no power to change law. They can only enforce it, to the best of their ability. Renewable energy isn't yet 100% viable by itself. YET!

[seanbedlam]

Anything else? Would you like a sandwich or anything?

[ShrimpedND]

Well good Sir, a sandwich would be great, but 'tis 3:50 in the morning for me.

By the way, I wasn't wholey disagreeing with the point of the video, coal plants need to be put out of commission as soon as humainly possible, but the sheer number of wind turbines you'd need to replace one mere coal plant? It hurts to say it, but it's not a plausable option from the Governments point of view. Obviously from our MoP view, nothing at all is stopping us from errecting mass wind farms.

[seanbedlam]

Can't. Read. Tears. Too. Watery.

[ShrimpedND]

Sad. Keep up the good work, Sir. I for one do actually like your videos. :)

[imjustagirl776]

Yet another fine accounting at Hazelwood. And people make fun of me for insinuating we live in a police state... it's fraken global-- obviously. Loved the energy in this video. The more the people show solidarity, the better chance we have of making ourselves heard.

Five'd, Fav'd, Featured, Mr. Bedlam ;o)

[seanbedlam]

The number of cops and security was embarrassing on that day, and now the law has been changed too. It's beautiful. The government does nothing real about climate change, then completely overreacts when people make some noise. $14,000 or a year in jail now for jumping that fence. Hilarious.

[jx14aby]

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

[seanbedlam]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[jx14aby]

I'm one of those "law and order" guys people hate.

[wolffenhaus]

Mother Earth is a not sexy title. Come on Bedlam - Ideas for something arresting to call this planet so people give a shit. Its all in the fuckin, bullshit spin. I want a new name for her ASAP.

[seanbedlam]

How about Giant Sex Ball!?

[TheAgentChaos]

Disrupt the order!  Smash the corporatocracy and blame the patriarchy!!!!

[seanbedlam]

And drink plenty of water.

[colenbrak]

COAL SHOULD FUcKING DIE!

[gem042]

w00t!

[gem042]

first!
