D.C. Superior Court documents indicate Greenpeace protesters who climbed a crane Wednesday cost a construction company and workers a lot of money.
The seven activists who climbed the 270-foot crane, spent one night in jail and were released Thursday night after a court appearance.
On Wednesday, they allegedly broke into a construction site near 15th & L Streets NW around 2:48 a.m. They then climbed the giant crane, eventually hanging a banner that read: “Resist” from it in protest of President Donald Trump.
Clark Construction is working with other companies to build a new office and retail development called Midtown Center on the property.

Restitution?
I do not believe it cost that much, total bs, made up figure
I would have started up the crane and spun it around to sling them off.
Was Josh Hastings there? He is a Green Peace freak.
Fine them $100,000each and 2 yrs in jail.
lolol
Typical liberal AW..I guess the time the crane couldnt be used and all the police FF resources pulled from the streets are free ? whats your name and address and we can send you the BILL.
Sue them for damages. Why should the workers suffer because of these idiots?
5:12 right on,even if they win lawyers fees will hurt.
Throw the book at them, and fine them up the ying yang. There is a new sheriff in DC and his presence may stiffen the backbones of law enforcement and prosecutors.
do not forget Finch AND Olsen too
