The ground is only sacred when it is useful to stop a pipeline. Otherwise it is just where you throw your trash. Liberal earth-worship hypocrisy.

Well put and true.

They should order the protestors to come back and pick it up or levy environmental sanctions against their organizations.

Theeeese poooor environweeeeenies, defenders of the Earth, were full of crap!

Helluva way to treat sacred ground!

[JimRed]

Feds address the garbage? How ‘bout letting the Injuns address the garbage? Their greenie pals made the mess!

They worry trash and debris left behind by people who have left in recent weeks might pollute the Missouri River and other nearby waterways.

I hope the Wide Missouri doesn't get gonorrhea.

I think that the citizens of this country should demand a DETAILED summary of the costs of cleaning up the mess.

[bigbob]

Sounds like a good spot for adump or sewage treatment plant.

"With the amount of people that have been out there and the amount of estimated waste and trash out there, there is a good chance it will end up in the river if it is not cleaned up,”

Article says "trash and debris" but the quote says "waste and trash".

Could he be referring to human waste.

Doering said local authorities are hoping for a presidential disaster declaration to open up the prospect of federal aid.

No thank you.

Welcome to the snowflake generation and the disgraceful youth that cares not a whit about America. Lazy, preening useless humans.

America is awash in them and illegal filth too. Shoot straight.

This is not a problem. This is a stark example of government incompetence. One must get a few D8 Caterpillars out their. Pile the debris up and put some of that good Canadian Oil on it. Light the matches and watch you problem ascend into the air as CO2 which is plant food. As an added bonus their might be a liberal environmentalist protestors body in the debris.

In all seriousness, the clean up would be easy. Pile it up and burn it. I well remember when my grandfather cleared land in West Texas for the farm he managed. Just like I said. those D8 Cats will do the job and what those protestors left is very small compared to two square miles of land. He had cleared Mesquite and rocks for two square miles.

They need to do this now. Once the ground is thawed and wet it is hard to operate the big machines.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Have they found any bodies in the garbage yet?

[Paladin2]

Send S0r0$ the bill.

[TonyM]

They are use to living in mom’s basement and having her do all the cleaning so they are lost when it comes to cleaning up after themselves.

The Plains Indians moved around a lot.

They had to.

They had no idea about sanitation.

After a couple of weeks in one place, they started getting sick.

So, they moved on.
