The Dakota Access Pipeline protesters are being forced to abandon their camp today, and rather than allow the site to be properly cleaned up, they have decided to light it on fire
Burning sections of the camp will most likely make a sanitary and efficient cleanup more difficult for the authorities, which have repeatedly clashed with protesters over the camp’s threat to the environment.
An even bigger reason many in the Standing Rock tribe won’t be sorry to see visiting agitators go: The pipeline protest has been detrimental to their most important source of revenue, the Prairie Knights Casino & Resort

And with a snowstorm on the way, that burnt mess will be soon be a burnt frozen mess.
What is not being reported is that this is not happening on tribal lands. These criminals are damaging private property.
Ehhh ... they weren't irrational before?
I believe I read that there are over a dozen pipelines under the lake already, none of them as safe as this one.
That's so true. I heard on the news this morning that the "protestors" have been told that those who leave peacefully today will be given one night's free hotel and a free bus ticket to anywhere in the United States they want to go. Those who want to stay until removed have been told that they will each be given a picture of themselves being arrested so that they can post it on their facebooks and other social media sites. Then they will be released.
The filth-o-philic environment-wrecking protesters should be made to pay for every penny’s worth of damage they’ve done.
Eco-imbeciles.
The only thing the environmentalists are doing there now is protecting trash.
I find this funny. The local tribe has to balance protecting their sacred sites against their casino take. Their first impulse was to bring in lefty agitators, but it eventually made a mess and hit them in the purse.
What I wonder is what the split is among the tribe. Were there just a few percent who were manipulable by the anti-anything-energy part of the left, or was the tribe as a group mostly concerned?
Unintended consequences all around. I hope there was some leftist frostbite.
... because most of them are undercover FBI agents ?
who owns the property??
No, not true. The land they were on was FEDERAL LAND.
Standing Rock protesters arrested after defying deadline
"CANNON BALL, N.D. -- Police are arresting Dakota Access pipeline protesters who’ve failed to meet a deadline to clear a camp on federal land in North Dakota."

I don't understand. What has Soros got to do with the mound in Athens Greece?
Be sure to scroll down to see all the smaller pipelines.
Privately owned. Not part of the reserve.
Understand that the pipeline company paid for and was granted access by the feds. Not the tribe or protestors.

Apparently: A company owned by the Forth Berthold Indian Reservation MHA is currently drilling a pipeline, upstream of Standing Rock, to transport 180,000 barrels of oil per day under the Missouri River. No one is protesting that pipeline.
