reporter Evan Lambert arrested by Ohio police live on train derailment for doing what big media won't do: ask questions about toxic chemicals that poison water and air.
The largest "democracy" in the world that arrests journalists for simple questions.
Imagine if it had happened in Russia what they would have said...
"My video camera footage shows my chickens were perfectly fine before they started this burn, and as soon as they started the burn, my chickens slowed down and they died," she told WKBN. "If it can do this to chickens in one night, imagine what it’s going to do to us in 20 years." - from this article https://www.foxnews.com/us/ohio-residents-fear-train-derailment-poisoned-air-ground-report-animals-dying
"Among the substances were ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylhexyl acrylate and isobutylene were also in the rail cars that were derailed, the list shows.
Contact with ethylhexyl acrylate, a carcinogen, can cause burning and irritation of the skin and eyes, and inhalation can irritate the nose and throat, causing shortness of breath and coughing,"- from this article - https://abcnews.go.com/US/toxic-chemicals-train-derailed-ohio-originally-reported-data/story?id=97080179
I don't imagine we will ever really know the truth about it as they don't allow journalists to do their jobs anymore in the US.
Notably the Governor has made clear he was not responsible for the confrontation nor supports it. The way it plays out in my head, Evan was talking too loudly and someone complained. The troopers and the Nat guard leader walked across the room to tell him to end his broadcast. From there it escalated. My takeaway is, when people in uniform tell you to move along, do it. You will not win the argument. You can complain about it afterward.
the thing in Ohio is tragic...animals are dying....people who go back to their homes are getting sick. Those families need to be removed from the area and put up in housing/motels until it is safe-if that is ever- to return...Someone is responsible -but who? the chemical companies, the rail line, the people who said do the burn to keep from an even worse explosion?
