At around 11am, over 150 people arrived to block the main truck entrance in and out to the Schumberger Facility. 20 of this 150 came prepared to use their bodies to blockade the facility until they were removed by police. Faced with such large numbers and organized resistance, Schumberger did not have their normal daytime shift. People stayed until 4:30 PM, stopping the daytime operation of this 24/7 hour facility and then left of their own accord, deciding that the action was a success. The Shaleshock Direct Action Working Group remains committed to using direct action to confront the presence of a gas industry that is intent on poisoning the land, air and water of our communities. As more people in this movement become interested in peaceful resistance, we intend to continue our work organizing and educating.

Thanks so much for showcasing what this movement really is.. A self aggrandizing weekend hobby. 5 hours? You guys really showed the Marcellus industry! If you REALLY thought that Schlumberger is killing you, why not stay a bit more longer than the new Batman movie? What a joke. Absolutely pathetic. Go drive back to our homes while spewing benzene and other pollutants our of our tailpipes back to your natural gas heated homes. The hypocrisy is disgusting.
We are part of a peaceful resistance movement, taking time out of our busy lives to shut down a facility operated by the worlds largest oil service company. You are trolling websites in your free time.
