"No drugs or alcohol... This is not burning man or a festival," one statement posted on Facebook reads. "... YOU ARE NOT ON VACATION. This is not a camping trip."

And that there’s not a peep about actually reducing gas usage so such pipelines would be unnecessary.

If they’re gonna use it, it’s gotta get moved from where it is to them. Pipelines are safest & cheapest.

“The Amatuer Protester is up there on his own dime, and wants to have an authentic experience.”

That sounds like a business opportunity. Soros is doing it wrong. Rather than paying miscreants to protest, create a “protestor experience” package deal and market it to universities as a hands-on form of socialist indoctrination, a necessary part of the curriculum towards their useless degrees.

Just like the standoff at Wounded Knee in 1973. Then the Hippies arrived to show “support” for the Indians.

4-8 inches of snow here today. No protest stories for a while. Everyone is getting hot cocoa. Mine has the tiny marshmallows in it.

When ever the tribes get bent out of shape, as you said, it always about money or power in the form of gaining special privileges unavailable to ordinary Americans.
