On Tuesday morning, a retired Catholic priest and
\n two veterans put on clown suits, busted into a nuclear missile launch
\n facility, and began beating the silo cover with hammers, in an attempt
\n to take the Minuteman III missile off-line. Seriously.<\/p>\n
The activists used bolt-cutters to get into the E-9
\n Minuteman II facility, located just northwest of the White Shield,
\n North Dakota. "Using a sledgehammer and household hammers, they
\n disabled the lock on the personnel entry hatch that provides access
\n to the warhead and they hammered on the silo lid that covers the 300
\n kiloton nuclear warhead," the group said in a statement. "The
\n activists painted ‘It’s a sin to build a nuclear weapon’ on the face
\n of the 110-ton hardened silo cover and the peace activists poured their
\n blood on the missile lid."<\/p>\n
This was all done while wearing face paint, dunce caps, misfitting
\n overalls, and bright yellow wigs.<\/p>\n
