"The pipeline protest has been detrimental to their most important source of revenue"

The peaceful fulfillment of their traditional form of subsistence; hunting, gathering, high-stakes bingo...

The morons “saving the sacred Earth” sure turned this snowflake fiasco into a huge mess.

So not only did they lose the revenue from the oil company, but their casino revenue is down.

Good leadership there!

Bbut, I thought the protestors were fighting to protect the environment against the pipeline.

I’m so confused.

This never was about any Indian rights, the environment or probably oil.

“The pipeline protest has been detrimental to their most important source of revenue, the Prairie Knights Casino & Resort”

The Winning! THE WINNING! It feels so good to see butthurt doled out to so many Liberals and their allies.

Someone—including the tribal council—should bill those protest groups for environmental cleanup and lost casino revenue.

And the reason why those protesters won’t get arrested for arson is?

These losers have a bigger carbon footprint than the pipeline they are protetesting.

Fence the protesters in the camp and have them breathe the noxious fumes until the fire has burned out.

Well, perhaps because liberal enviro protesters are special, and authorities bend over backwards to avoid any appearance of violating their civil rights. The same laws which you and I must abide by are suspended for those special liberals protesting in favor of some cause of the day.

The liberals would never understand or appreciate the irony in your statement about the carbon footprint.

Nor will the news media talk about that fact. Liberals and media types tend to minimize or ignore inconvenient truths. In spite of Al Gore saying he speaks inconvenient truths.

But the protesters’ primary consideration is symbolism, as one summed up by tweeting, “Some tipis are still burning. Dakota Access and their army can’t have them.”

First of all, why would Dakota Access want some ratty teepee full of trash and human waste? The builders will use RV's and other temporary housing with proper sanitary sewer and trash disposal means. Secondly, they are correct in the fact that this protest was all about symbolism and never obit helping the environment. If they cared about that they would have not left thousands of truck load of garbage and human waste behind. Pack in, pack out.

You are right it is about this.
