I'm not super surprised either, except at the scale of the verdict.
$300m for helping people protest the destruction of their land and water isn't something we can accept; as a society, or as individuals.
If we allow this to go down like that, shrugging off this scale of corruption as mere business as usual, then we'll (continue to) get exactly what we deserve.
Three hundred million dollars - and ETP don't even appear to have had actual evidence of anything Greenpeace did to 'incite criminal behavior'. Just a stacked jury in a cherry-picked court. $300m, for helping a peaceful protest get attention... I think Greenpeace USA have about $20m in assets?
