Mountain Madness - Invasion of the Coal Thugs

For 23 years Keepers of the Mountains has held an annual family picnic on Kayford Mountain, West Virginia to bring together supporters of the movement to end mountaintop removal coal mining. This weekend 20 or so drunken coal thugs charged over the ridge and tried to pick a fight with the festival goers. Mind you the video you are about to see has foul language and ugly humans.

You gotta admit, who would pay these welfare recipients to march and all that stupid shit? Tax dollars from coal lol. You can look at some of these protesters and tell what kind of people some of them are lol.

Yea right. Pull Massey out of Southern WV and see what happens. Massey pays more taxes tha anyone in that area. Facts are facts. Plus they employ so many people, not just miners, hundreds of women and men that just take care of business.

I am from WV and I hate Massey (the killers) and coal in general. It's destrying our state and we get no money from it. Massey is a Virginia company for christs sake.

Just so you know; I'm not a hippie but a goddammed proud West Virginian and I say coal should not tae precedence over our natural beauty and we should not let out-of-staters like MAssey get rich of the destruction of our state.

Complicated?!?! West Virginia would definately be better off without any of those people. They think it's ok to destroy a 100 million year old mountain just so they can earn chickenscratch while the Massey bigwigs take al the money out of state. We don't need any of those people. Would you want that fat, obnoxious skinhead as your neighbor, YumiFern?

this is what you get when a bunch of out of state smelly hippies threaten a mans job. These guys make good money and pay big taxes to support you unemployeed lazy fu##s

They always put the stupidest person they can find on camera,otherwise they wouldn't be able to justify all the stereotypes they have about WV. As for the question about how many are actually from WV, not many,most of the people in this state are not true West Virginians. Most of WV's population now consists of outsiders from other areas who have money and are buying up everything and ruining the state.
