Senate Demands Answers On EPA’s Armed Raid Of Alaskan Gold Mine

Republican senators are demanding answers from the Environmental Protection Agency after agency officials participated in an armed raid of gold mines near Chicken, Alaska.

According to reports, in late August agents of the Alaska Environmental Crimes Task Force swarmed the mine in groups of four to eight and even went so far as to wear body armor and carry guns while investigating a supposed violation of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. No arrests were made in the raid and no citations were issued.

“Imagine coming up to your diggings, only to see agents swarming over it like ants, wearing full body armor, with jackets that say POLICE emblazoned on them, and all packing side arms,” gold miner C.R. “Dick” Hammond told the Alaska Dispatch.

  1. Time to start shooting back. This is timed when the mine is holding the most product. Sorry, attackers, you will be shot in the legs and heads.

  2. Should have blocked the road to the mine site with some obstacle and started teaching the storm troopers some lessons on freedom. See how good they are at defense. Back-up in Alaska might be (and often is) HOURS away. Plenty of time for fun and games. Think of the possibilities....

  3. They've seen that they can get away with it in most other cases so now it's 'Katie bar the door' from now on.
    Unless someone DOES confront authority, this sort of "inspection" is going to, not only continue but, get worse.
