Climate change activist gets 2 years in prison for dumping red powder on Constitution display
A climate change activist who dumped red powder on a case containing the original copy of the U.S. Constitution was sentenced on Friday to two years in prison for his role in the vandalism earlier this year at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson told Donald Zepeda that his attack on the display of the priceless document did nothing to advance his cause.
“You still think that was connected to the climate change problem, and I can’t agree with that,” she said.
Zepeda, a leader of Declare Emergency, was charged with another member of the climate change awareness group. Jackson sentenced Zepeda’s co-defendant, Utah resident Jackson Green, on Tuesday to 18 months of prison.
Consequences have actions. If you can’t do the time don’t do the crime.
The judge said “eco-vandalism” doesn’t benefit the environment and only gives climate change skeptics more reason to believe that activists like Zepeda are “just a bunch of crackpots.”
Pretty much. Do these stunts help bring people to the side of the climate crazies, or just push them away?

Pissing off people usually doesn’t help your cause, nor does leading others to think that you are just plain nuts.
