cnn is not a legitimate news site.
I see a lawsiouxt in their future...
Here in NM the Navajo are being hit hard. Can’t blame the Souix for being careful.
Tell the Gov what happened to Custer if the Gov shows up to enforce his “order”!
It’s their reservation; it’s their laws. They can decide for themselves.
They have social media? Why don’t they use smoke signals?
It’s their land.
They can do what they want.
I was born and raised in SD, and I remember armed checkpoints on the res as a kid. If you wanted to pass thru, and you were white, you had to pay a toll. Sometimes they were there, sometimes not.
A family friend was a Federal Judge, and anytime he had to pass thru Pine Ridge he kept a Mac-10 on his lap. (This was in the days just prior to the Wounded Knee takeover in ‘73.) He never had to use it, but had to raise it to the windowsill frequently.
So to me, the concept of checkpoints near there are quite believable- even if CNN reports it.
The reservation near us has a stay at home order when our state does not. The Indians are all over the place just ignoring it. And I do not blame them.
Imagine if a state like Florida set up checkpoints at the state line. Oh that’s right, they did.
WTF is this? Is it Guv vs Indians again?
