Big Oil's Lawyers Claim Angry Protestor's Scowls Are "Actually Assault” [1]
Anti-pipeline protestors took to social media to post their best #KMFace, following Kinder Morgan’s court case against residents yesterday, where the lawyer stated that the protestors’ angry snarls [2] are “not just intimidation," but "actually assault.”
Kinder Morgan’s lawyer led a legal assault against environmentalists in a B.C. Supreme Court Wednesday to try and get its $5.4-billion Trans Mountain pipeline expansion back on track.
“You can see the expressions on faces. Picture 10 is important for that,” said corporate lawyer William Kaplan, referring to photo exhibits.
The remarks touched off a social media campaign making fun of the company's argument that facial expressions could hurt a pipeline company's workers.
