Organizers: Al Gore's Daughter Among 23 Arrested in Protest

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — Jun 30, 2016, 12:59 PM ET

Organizers say the daughter of former Vice President Al Gore was among 23 people arrested during a protest of a Boston pipeline under construction.

The arrests happened Wednesday at the site of Spectra Energy's West Roxbury Lateral pipeline.

Forty-two-year-old Karenna Gore was among demonstrators that tried to block construction activity on the site by lying in a trench.

Protest organizers say Gore and others facing resisting arrest charges will be arraigned Friday, while others facing trespassing and disturbing the peace charges are being arraigned Thursday.

Consistent in that there's always someone to instruct us with righteousness and absolutism what we should ignore, believing the human mind is capable of merely one concern at a time.
