The next paragraph of the above article makes me wonder if it's the environment they really care about or something else:

"What was once a bustling makeshift city is now a largely abandoned garbage pit. Teepees and yurts, thousands of sheets of plywood and tents, kerosene and propane stoves, diesel and gasoline generators, food, clothing, cars and mountains of human waste lie in what was once a pristine floodplain that abutted the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation."

The 1st amendment only protects “peaceful assembly”, not what the left has been doing.

This fiasco wasn’t about “sacred” water or the “sacred” environment. This fiasco was about Marxism and Communism.

I infiltrated a native american presentation on this last night to learn what the issue is about from their point if view. Bizarre.

Anyway, there is a march on Washington March 10 with a camp in on the Mall. That should be intersting.

Protesters did more damage to the enviornment with their trash, condoms,
maxi pads and dirty underwear, than oil ever will.

They are now worried that all this garbage will wash down their pristine and sacred streams in a few weeks when the annual floods come.

If they cared about the environment they would have not trashed the sensitive environmental area. It was to make them selves feel good, not to help the environment.

THE CAMP BEFORE EVACUATION



The fires come as authorities prepare to shut down the camp in advance of spring flooding

Not to mention the “slit trench” they dug which drains right into the Cannonball river.

Warren Buffet was the big financier of this movement. He wants his products moved by his railroad rather than the safer, more economical pipeline.

The protesters weren’t even from the local rez. Imported....... all of them.

OK, so what was the issue? The environment? Sacred ground?

What is it?

I think the highlight of this snowflake fiasco was the picture I saw of two snowflakes sitting on the hood of their SUV holding up a sign saying, “Out Of Gas”. ROTFL. Ah, the irony of it all.

FOX was reporting this morning about the environmental damage that is going to be caused when the flooding starts and all the garbage is spread all over the countryside.

I’d suggested destruction by fire a few months ago..with 10 minutes notice.
