Among some of the more colorful responses, Ronnie Huebel simply wrote, "Target practice."
"Protesting fossil fuels by driving a gas-powered car and using products made from fossil fuels," another, Phillip Gomez, wrote.
Another Facebook Live commenter, Cindy Fennell Cicchetti, wrote, "They arrived in a vehicle that used fossil fuels, right? The banners, fossil fuel by-products? Sneakers? Or is everything they use made out of grass?"
The protesters said in their Facebook Live that they walked onto the bridge. It's unclear how the protesters arrived at the bridge.
Erma Boles wrote, "Greenpeace USA ??? What is peaceful about this. All they have done is disrupted our traffic taken most of our police officers away from helping people who really need help. Leave them hanging their friends can help them get down. STOP BROADCASTING THESE FOOLS. THE ONLY THING I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THEM IS IF THEY FELL AND BROKE A LEG."
HAPPENING NOW: We're in the heart of the fossil fuel industry (the largest oil export channel in the US) to confront Trump & the oil industry.

Can someone explain how law enforcement did not intercede on this elaborate plan? No protest permit would allow this...#peoplevsoil #Greenpeace https://t.co/71xJR88RtN

Yes these #Greenpiss #Greenpeace activists made a lot of people late for work this morning. Probably funded by #GeorgeSoros. All the leftist loons will be in the Houston area ahead of the #DemoRats candidate debate. Wonder where #Antithugs are going to show up???? https://t.co/ou95zgQbcF
