Things just got serious in North Dakota, and if they continue at the rate they’re going, they may get very, very ugly as well.
For the past month or so, the nation’s attention has been captured by the bands of protestors gathering near the Standing Rock Indian reservation. Claiming that a planned pipeline would contaminate the water the resident Native Americans drink, the demonstrators have gathered in support of them and urged construction on the Dakota Access Pipeline to cease. Supporters of the pipeline, however, maintain that it doesn’t actually run through the reservation and that a number of similar lines already exist in the area.
Regardless of where one stands on the issue, the possibility for escalation between the protestors and law enforcement should give anyone who considers themselves concerned with justice pause and make them pray for a peaceful resolution.

Ok, I’ve researched thing on both sides and I’ve found that there are 1000’s of pipelines all over the United States and they go untouched until an environmentalist sabotages it to make it do the very thing they protest. If they just make sure don’t put it through property without permission, and patrol the existing ones to make sure nut cases don’t sabotage it.
It would be fine.
Send in some drones to drop food & supplies
They are not on the reservation. Repeat it 5x slowly they are on private land not belonging to them get your facts right and educate yourself.
This is not on reservation land educate yourself on the issue before making yourself look stupid.
Love all the ignorant people whining about these poor people. Try educating yourselves on the issue. Find out what the facts really are. This is NOT on Tribal lands, however it is on private property that does NOT belong to them.
Another moron
NOT FUNNY!
Laws made by people like you .. not us..your laws have allowed hundreds of pipelines that rupture and spill weekly because they build as cheap as possible for maximum investor profit return.. what happejs if it breaks and floods downstream where many other communities suck their water from the rivers?? Or dont you care about anyone but yourself??many of those towns are white folk.. we are thinking of them as well..
