OKC protestors slapped with terrorism charges

OKLAHOMA CITY —Some protestors who took on an energy giant Friday are facing terrorism charges.

Oklahoma City police said a dozen protesters walked into the front door of the Devon Tower about 9:30 a.m. Friday. Police say they were so determined to get their message across that two of them chained themselves to the front door.

“The fire department was called to unchain them they were using bicycle chains,” said Oklahoma City Police Capt. Dexter Nelson.

Police had no idea who they were and they were not willing to talk. But officers arrested several people on the spot.

“Approximately eight to 12 individuals made their way to the building, made their way to a second floor balcony and they unfurled two banners. (We) don't know what the banners said, but wrapped in the banners were some sort of a black substance,” Nelson said.

Maybe he could ask somebody to read those to him. What kind of investigation would you have to do to determine that?
