Pipeline protests are spreading across the United States. Over the weekend, a military veteran was arrested in Live Oak, Florida, amid a series of protests against a $3.2 billion natural gas Sabal Trail pipeline that is slated to run from Alabama through Georgia and into Florida. Meanwhile, on Monday, two people were arrested after chaining themselves to construction equipment in Arkansas in efforts to stop the construction of the proposed 440-mile Diamond Pipeline, slated to carry oil from Oklahoma to Arkansas.
