[Conserv]

cnn is not a legitimate news site.

[BenLurkin]

Oh, well then this probably didn’t happen.

[Conserv]

You trust cnn to get the story straight?

[BenLurkin]

No, it probably didn’t happen. It’s all fake.

[Conserv]

cnn’s interpretation IS ALWAYS FAKE

[chajin]

I see a lawsiouxt in their future...

[BenLurkin]

Exactly. It’s a complete fabrication.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Here in NM the Navajo are being hit hard. Can’t blame the Souix for being careful.

[TaMoDee]

Tell the Gov what happened to Custer if the Gov shows up to enforce his “order”!

[17th Miss Regt]

Did you have to?

[Jemian]

It’s their reservation; it’s their laws. They can decide for themselves.

[colorado tanker]

This will only hurt their own people. They need to go off the reservations for all kinds of needs. On the other hand, most non-Indian South Dakotans have no desire to go there. There seems to be no limit to the self-destruction liberals can bring.

[Spaceman61]

So...on an Indian Reservation...which is what...federal land??? Independent territory???

If a US Hwy, or Interstate, or even a State Hwy or County road goes through it....can they legally close that road? Do they own that road? or is that road and it’s ROW belong to the county/state/feds???

I have no clue what the answer to that question is.

[Hieronymus]

I agree with you completely.

We have a local tribe here that has gone the same way. I miss the cheap gas, but respect that they do what they think they need to do and aren’t simply following lock step with everyone else.

[HighSierra5]

They have social media? Why don’t they use smoke signals?

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

It’s a state highway they are shutting down.

[Bonemaker]

"But they must complete a health questionnaire when they leave and when they return every time they go through a checkpoint."

[metmom]

It’s their land.

They can do what they want.
