My nerves gave way: an American lawyer shot and killed two environmental activists blocking a road in Panama (4 photos + 2 videos)
The lawyer was arrested, but many motorists sympathize with him. Because it is necessary to fight to preserve the climate and the environment in general, but not so aggressively. 
Environmental activists seem to have fed up many. People who advocate climate conservation are so eager to draw attention to this problem that they completely disregard those around them. They block roads, stop the operation of airports and create violence in any other accessible public places.
And although the police in many countries treat these activists with understanding, ordinary people are increasingly losing their nerve when dealing with them. In Germany, a heavy truck driver became a hero for trying to run over a loafer who was lounging on the highway. And in Panama, a retired lawyer actually got out of his car and fired several bullets at roadside eco-terrorists. 
Environmental activists blocked a highway near the capital of Panama. Darlington got out of the car
No, at first he tried to reason with the demonstrators blocking the highway, but then the lawyer apparently lost his nerve.
Carefully! The video contains death scenes!
The demonstrators who stopped Kenneth Darlington's car from passing were protesting the Panamanian government's agreement with a Canadian firm to operate the largest open-pit copper mine, which is located "in an environmentally sensitive area." Why the activists did not stand with posters in front of the government building, but interfered with motorists, remains a mystery. 
As a result, the protest campaign ended in the death of two men. One, according to media reports, died on the spot, the second died later in the hospital. The lawyer was arrested. 
It is reported that in relation to Darlington, the court may soften the preventive measure and assign him house arrest due to the advanced age of the detainee.
However, the President of Panama, expressing condolences to the families of the victims, said that “such crimes have no place in this country.” The next court hearing will take place in Panama City on November 15.
Darlington, a citizen of the United States and Panama, has previously had encounters with the police due to illegal possession of weapons. In 2005, two M-1 rifles and an AK-47 were found in the lawyer's house, but he was released on bail after claiming that the weapons were part of a military collection. His name is also associated with financier Mark Harris. Darlington once worked with Harris, who was later convicted of money laundering in the United States.
