August 11:
Trish Mills pleaded guilty. Along with other professional protesters, she broke into an oil pipeline pumping station in Westover, Ontario, as an environmentalist stunt. She wouldn’t leave for days. When police finally came to take her away, she used a bicycle lock to lock her neck to the premises. Police had to carefully cut it off.
Despite her abusive conduct towards police and the court itself, Mills was given the lightest slap on the wrist possible. She pleaded guilty, but if she agreed to remain of good behaviour, and keep away from the property of the pipeline company for a year, her criminal record would be wiped.
The judge gave her a second chance in life.
That Mills threw in his face.
Mills returned to an anti-Line 9 protest again this summer.
And then again on the weekend – where she was arrested, again.
