Making a dent in the immense amount of trash being hauled out of the Oceti Sakowin #DakotaAccessPipeline protest camp is being hindered by the weather. The garbage that was left behind is now frozen into massive chunks of junk.

It's estimated it will take 250 trucks filled with litter to clear the camp. Each load that's dumped is inspected by the Morton County Sheriff's Department. #DAPL

Nice.

[ETL]

They should force the spoiled little brats to clean it up themselves.

[Paladin2]

Task the Standing Rock Sioux with getting the funding for this from the ‘Rats or S0r0s.

[econjack]

Yep, those environmental-friendly liberals speak out of one side of their mouth while trashing the planet at the same time.

[Gene Eric]

The filthy Democrat Thug Party.

[Paladin2]

Oh, I thought they were referring to the Protestors...

[Ray76]

Belies their claim about “sacred ground”.

[xrmusn]

Next the Libs will be complaining that ‘Right Wing’ protests etc are hurting the working man and taking bread out of babies mouths because they tend to ‘police the area’ and ‘sweepdown fore and aft’ when they leave their demonstrations and on occasion leave the area in better shape than when they got there.

My dad said the tribe should bury all the human waste and garbage then call it a “sacred burial grounds” and all would be well.

[smokingfrog]

There’s no telling what those nasty creatures may have left behind.

[UCANSEE2]

Which might explain why the Sheriff is going through every truck load.

[budj]

Should algore pay the carbon footprint bill for the cleanup; those trucks will have a good amount.

[American in Israel]

They are protesting to “protect the environment” done-cha know.

[KittyKares]

How irresponsible — and gross. The article says the police are even looking for possible dead bodies!

[dynoman]

Yes, people have disappeared from in the camp.

[beethovenfan]

And these people are all about “saving the earth” don’tcha know.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Yeah, but it’s “sacred” garbage.

[taxesareforever]

And they have the gall to protest the pipeline for environmental reasons. Hypocrites.

[Dixie Yooper]

And this is just the garbage...wait till all the snow melts. Anyone up north with a dog and backyard, knows what I’m talking about.
