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.

My son is up there, and most of them are from new york area and are being paid. (No, my son is not a protester). When that ND wind starts whipping around 40mph, and the 3 feet of snow hits, im afraid their make shift tents aren’t going to hold up, then there will be innocent men and women trying to rescue them putting their own lives in danger. They have be warned several times of the dangers, and the refuse to heed the weather warnings. Oh well.
Exactly, very well said.
This is stupid
Reservations are not under State or Federal jurisdiction. So any “law” you reference about conduct on a reservation is null and void. The reservation has autonomy over their law(s). Also, the land the corp is claiming is apart of the land granted by the treaty, so yes it is reservation land. Just because the natives didn’t fuss when the road was put through doesn’t mean they are going to allow anything the federal or state agencies permit.
These protestors deserve to starve.
Truth be known a lot of these so called protesters are paid agitators , eco terrorist and other left wing nut jobs , funded by no other than the fucking maggot George Soros !!
Dig a tunnel
This is about the drinking water be contaminated eventuality
