Protestors block entrance to Mount Rushmore

[blueplum]

One thing that has been noticed is, there are a handful there who are obvious outsiders and agitating but the Indians are drawing back from them. Without the force of numbers to hide in the outsiders are impotent and wilted like daisies when picked off.

No tear gas because it’s bad bad optics if the natives aren’t resisting the vehicles being removed. They’re singing (or were) and now a lot of them leaving

[Verginius Rufus]

Europeans brought horses and booze to the New World. The Indians wouldn't have casinos if it weren't for the US government making it possible and profitable for them to do so.

A few acres of Mt. Rushmore is a small price to pay for all that.

Time for the schlammervan...

Now getting arrested. Looks like all who refused to get off the road.

Thanks. They never should have been allowed to congregate to begin with. It’s called crowd control, and I’ve yet to see it implemented since this $hit all started.

[CedarDave]

Peaceful arrests. I worry about the protesters on the side of the road who didn’t get arrested throwing rocks and projectiles at the Trump supporters and others when they drive through.

Still watching the link. Why is it taking so long?!

"Still watching the link. Why is it taking so long?!"

The police and military have been told to "Give Peace a Chance."

[blueplum]

looks like they’re getting ready to let traffic flow again

arrestees in the van; probably be released at the bottom of the road according to a popo earlier

[MrChips]

I hope not. Book ‘em Dano!

[CodeToad]

Nothing a gallon of gas and a match doesn’t cure.

[longtermmemmory]

looks like BLM/antifa glomed onto the Indian activist protest.

When the going got tough they ran away.

Anyone who thought the cops & Feds are on the side of the normals better realize that we are on our own.

[MrChips]

Full? Thank God for that!

You are correct Blueplum. Thank you for the link.

Bump

[MrChips]

But, the Media, i.e. Pravda, will say otherwise and they will talk about the”peaceful protest” on the road. 🙄

[LaRueLaDue]

“this is a state with a solid pub governor....why did she allow this to happen...”

Yeah, I don’t know... Maybe she wasn’t in-charge of this fustercluck. Be nice to know what group was, so we can lambast them.

Dude...they cleared the blockade, forced (and have kept) the protesters to the side of the road and are allowing traffic through now. I’m sure some who planned to attend got discouraged and turned around but hopefully it won’t have been many.
