Daryl Hannah Has Been Arrested For Protesting
We don't hear much about Daryl Hannah these days. This morning, I was shocked to find out the actress has been arrested.
The 48-year-old ex-mermaid ('Splash' was one of my favorite movies) was taking part in a protest against mountaintop
coalmining – which sees the tops of mountains blown away to help miners get
at deposits inside – during which a West Virginia road was blocked yesterday.
Daryl – who is a long-term environmental activist – and 30 other people
blocked traffic by sitting on a stretch of road outside a Massey Energy
Company plant, prompting police to intervene.
State Police Sergeant Michael Baylous said:
“Tensions were pretty high. But
nobody got hurt and we're pleased with that.”
The protestors were cited for impeding traffic and obstructing an officer
and released.
Speaking about the mining practice before she was arrested, Daryl said:
“It's not necessary. If you do it wisely, there are ways to use renewables.
It's realistic for everybody.”
The group had originally planned to stage a protest inside the plant, but
miners stopped them from gaining access to the site.
This is not the first time Daryl’s beliefs have got her in trouble with the
law.

each attended the 'Eco Garden Picnic' and screening of 'Home' held at the Stella McCartney boutique

Nice to see a few of Stella's friends coming out to support the cause.
What do you think about Rachel's vintage outfit (last thumbnail)? She looks so TINY in it!
