Daryl Hannah Arrested at White House

Actress Daryl Hannah has been arrested in front of the White House along with other environmental protesters who oppose a planned oil pipeline from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast. The sit-in Tuesday involved dozens protesting the Keystone XL pipeline. It would go through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas to refineries in Houston and Port Arthur, Texas.

Before she was arrested, the 50-year-old Kill Bill actress told The Associated Press the protesters want to be free from dependence on fossil fuels. The group calls for clean energy investments instead. Hannah says they hope President Barack Obama will not bow to oil lobbyists. "Sometimes it's necessary to sacrifice your freedom for a greater freedom," Hannah said in Lafayette Park before her arrest. "And we want to be free from the horrible death and destruction that fossil fuels cause, and have a clean energy future."

With dozens of others, Hannah sat on the sidewalk in front of the White House and refused three requests from the Park Police to move. An estimated 100 people were arrested outside the White House Tuesday. Here's the question: since the United States criticizes other governments for not allowing their people to protest peacefully, then shouldn't Americans be allowed to do the same?

Awesome!!!....we should all try to be brave and do the same..I watch alot of YouTube videos and in denial I chalked this one up to another theory...but I watch alot of documentaries about running out of resources and some of the secrets our government really wouldn't want to share..I feel I need to wake up.

Yes, the US should allow peaceful protest. But then as a Canadian living in Toronto I remember well the way our own police mishandled peaceful protest of the G20 and how the Black Bloc vandals raged on unsupervised a few blocks away. Meanwhile, at least this arrest of Roxanne/Pris/Madison/ElleDrive­r herself draws attention to an issue that otherwise is underserved by the corporate media.
