Erin Brockovich Visits East Palestine, Tells People to Prepare for a Long Battle

Most people know of Erin Brockovich because of a movie called “Erin Brockovich.”

She is, however, a real person, who has been very successful in lobbying against corporations that destroy the environment with gigantic manmade disasters.

New York Post:

Worried residents packed a high school auditorium Friday as activist Erin Brockovich and attorneys warned of long-term health and environmental dangers from chemicals released after a fiery train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.

Brooke Hofmeister, a mother of two young children, said she feared for their health and felt worse than before about the situation after hearing the presentation.

“The truth is pretty scary,” the 29-year-old said.

She and her husband, Cory Hofmeister, said they didn’t feel safe in their hometown and were uncertain about whether to remain, echoing concerns raised by many who attended the two-hour session. It was sponsored by East Palestine Justice, a group formed by Brockovich, lawyers and scientific and medical experts.

No one was injured when 38 Norfolk Southern cars derailed in a fiery, mangled mess on the outskirts of town Feb. 3. As fears grew about a potential explosion, officials seeking to avoid an uncontrolled blast had the area evacuated and opted to release and burn toxic vinyl chloride from five rail cars, sending flames and black smoke billowing into the sky again.

More than 2,000 people registered to attend the meeting Friday, with the crowd spilling into the school gymnasium.

You want to be heard, but you’re going to be told it’s safe, you’re going to be told not to worry,” Brockovich said. “That’s just rubbish, because you’re going to worry. Communities want to be seen and heard.”

Health and environmental risks will remain for years, she said.

Don’t expect somebody to give you the answers. Unfortunately, this is not a quick fix. This is going to be a long game.”

Brockovich and her associates are among a number of legal teams that have come to the area offering to talk with residents about potential litigation over the derailment. Several lawsuits already have been filed.

This could get interesting.

Joe Brandon has already made deals with the rail line that caused the disaster, and is in the process of attempting to shield them from liability.

Hopefully, the company goes totally bankrupt, and has to give billions of dollars to these people so they can enjoy the rest of their healthy years before they inevitably get cancer.

We also hope that Biden and the Democrats who are protecting this corporation go down with it.

It is simply beyond the pale that these Democrats go out there and tell you to live in total poverty because they believe a kook conspiracy theory that cow farts are changing the weather, then tell you that a gigantic real life environmental disaster just doesn’t really even matter at all, and you should just drink the water.

Frankly: the leftist response to this goes a long way to proving that global warming is a hoax – for those who are too dim-witted to look at the data and see for themselves that it is a total hoax, at least.
