PEOPLE!! You must understand what is happening here! Dana is doing this for your children and grandchildren. You must take this whole matter very seriously. Many of you have no idea of the sacrifices that have been made here, by Dana. There must be someone out there who is willing to stand up with the funding to help with attorney fees. I know you are out there. If you knew the truth of it all, you would be stunned as many of us are.
For Dana to be arrested like that is a crime in itself. Shame on those going along with that. What happened to love of life on this planet? What happened to conscience? What happened to sacrifices for the good of humanity and all life on this planet? How many of you know the struggles that Dana has made in order to bring you the truth? Please, please don’t turn away anymore. Dana can’t do it alone, so, tell me who do you know who is stepping up for you and your loved ones, showing you all the evidence, if not Dana? Who? I would like to know who that is.
…WE MUST SOMEHOW GATHER TOGETHER AND FIGHT for if we do not WE MAY AS WELL GIVE UP ON EVERYTHING GOOD AND HONEST AND JUST , pack it in and live as true slaves! IT is seriously NOW or NEVER
Dana is up against a multi billion dollar business. They want to silence him, they’ll stop at nothing to do so. The people he’s pissed off are psychopaths, in every sense of the word. Do not under estimate the power brokers on this planet; they care nothing for humanity. We little people are expendable. The love of money is the root of all evil. The love of power and money supersedes all logic. When people go to the dark side aka make money their god, logic and reason do not enter their minds. Proof of my statement is that the same people who want to silence Dana live on this planet and are/will be affected by the radiation but all they care about is their ego, power and money ; none of which can or will protect them from the effects of the radiation.
It is alleged that he got arrested because of Death Threats against Members of the scientific Community in Canada and the US,
Durnford is not alone in voicing concern about the impact of the Fukushima disaster on North America. Here are a few examples from officials, professors, and other experts:

Globe and Mail, Nov 1, 2015 (emphasis added): After the Japanese nuclear reactor melted down… fears arose that radiation would pollute the Pacific and spread to Canada’s West Coast. To address those concerns… Dr. [Jay] Cullen started a radionuclide-monitoring program… “The goal and motivation … was that people were asking me, family and friends and the public at large, what the impact of the disaster was on B.C. on the North Pacific and on Canada,” he said… Shortly after he began blogging about the findings… [Cullen] was not only called a “shill for the nuclear industry” and a “sham scientist” but he was told he and other researchers who were reporting that the Fukushima radiation wasn’t a threat deserved to be executed… Even in Japan, he says, the [U.N.] determined the doses of ionizing radiation “are low enough that there will be no discernible increased incidence of radiation-related illness in them or their descendants.”… Dr. Cullen said he frequently hears from people that his science simply can’t be right because the Pacific Ocean is dying… Dr. Cullen said he understands that people are afraid of radiation, that they distrust governments and are wary of scientists… “I feel that the education system has failed these individuals in certain respects,” he said…
Globe and Mail, Nov 6, 2015: A British Columbia man who posted a video calling for the death of scientists whose research shows the Fukushima nuclear accident is not destroying the Pacific has been charged with two counts of criminal harassment. The charges were laid against Dana Durnford… In a video posted on Thursday, he said he had just been charged, and that many of his past videos had been taken down… “I was arrested… I was in court and I was charged with criminal harassment of nuclear industry PR people,” he said… he was charged under Section 264 of the Canadian Criminal Code, which makes it illegal to engage in conduct that causes someone to fear for their safety… “It’s new territory for me, and I certainly don’t want to jeopardize [the prosecution] by speaking out of turn,” [Cullen] said…

A British Columbia man who posted a video calling for the death of scientists whose research shows the Fukushima nuclear accident is not destroying the Pacific has been charged with two counts of criminal harassment.
Dana Dumford Shortly after being arrested on listed claims of
two counts of two counts of criminal harassment
The charges were laid against Dana Durnford of Powell River shortly after he posted a video on YouTube defending the attack on Jay Cullen, a chemical oceanographer at the University of Victoria, and another researcher.
The Globe and Mail reported on Monday that Dr. Cullen, who co-ordinates a radioactivity monitoring network that includes researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, several Canadian universities and Health Canada, came under attack after reporting Fukushima radiation levels in the Pacific are extremely low.
In a video posted on Wednesday, Mr. Durnford, who was not named in the initial story, questioned the accuracy of that report.
“Now, if Jay Cullen was getting death threats, you know I’d be in jail, most likely, and so would a lot of other people. Yep. And so come get me. I’m right here,” Mr. Durnford said.
In a video posted on Thursday, he said he had just been charged, and that many of his past videos had been taken down.
“You can find my presentations … on YouTube. What is left of them. The night before, I was arrested and the next morning, yesterday morning, I was in court and I was charged with criminal harassment of nuclear industry PR people,” he said. “And one of those was from Woods Hole and the other one was from UVic, British Columbia, Canada.”
Contacted by e-mail, Mr. Durnford declined comment and threatened legal action “if you write anything about me.”

Those who know of Dana, know he comes with a great deal of passion and his fair share of controversy. This is neither here nor there at the moment, as the real issue is what is at stake for each and every personal journalist who has spent the hard yards and countless hours documenting and reporting this ongoing World crisis.
Over night, tens of videos were either removed or were made to be removed from his fukushima coverage channel.
The fact that he called out pro-nuclear cohort members seems to be the failing in his reporting attempts.
Donation pages and funds have been set up in order to help with the court and representation costs.
It is a reminder of how fine a line we all travel. Be careful folks.
