Veterans are planning a 'deployment' to Standing Rock to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline

How come they are not protesting the other pipelines that cross up river from them?

Again if they were so worried about their lands they would take care of what they already have.   I got friends that have worked at Indian Casino's and they have plenty of stories how their own people fuck them over much more than the American govt does.

They have every right to protest however I think they are quite hypocritical when you look at their communities.   It doesn't take much or any money at all to pick shit up.

Lmao. Keep backpedaling.

You should probably just keep your uninformed opinions to yourself, whitey.

Always multiple sides to every story.

Wishing they'd go home

No one makes this clearer than Robert Fool Bear Sr., 54, district chairman of Cannon Ball. The town he runs, estimated population of 840, is just a few miles from the action. It's so close that, given the faceoffs with law enforcement, you have to pass through a police checkpoint to reach it.
It's about time people heard from folks like him, he says.
Fool Bear has had it with the protesters. He says that more than two years ago, when members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe could have attended hearings to make their concerns known, they didn't care. Now, suddenly, the crowds are out of control, and he fears it's just a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt.
Go down to the camps, he says, and you won't see many Standing Rock Sioux.
"It irks me. People are here from all over the world," he says. "If they could come from other planets, I think they would."
The presence of all these people has become a downright nuisance to his community, he says. Given the roadblocks, residents of Cannon Ball are often forced to go more than 40 miles out of their way.
Not long ago, he found three teenage girls from Ontario, Canada, camped out inside his storage shed. A white woman from Spokane, Washington, came to see him for help, saying she'd come here with nothing and her car had broken down. When he was at the casino recently, someone approached him about two young kids who were on their own because their parents had been arrested.
The situation has dissolved to madness, he says, and he wishes Dave Archambault II, the Standing Rock Sioux chairman, would speak up.
"If he had any balls, he'd tell [the protesters] to go home," Fool Bear says.
And he's not alone in feeling this way. Two women who listen in as he talks keep nodding in agreement, but they don't want to speak.
Just look at a recent vote in the community for further proof that Fool Bear's not the only naysayer. When protest organizers presented a request to build a new winter camp in Cannon Ball earlier this month, his community shot it down.
Of the 88 people who voted, he says 66 were against the camp, less than 10 were for it and the rest remained undecided.
Even though Fool Bear is against the protests, that doesn't mean he's not preparing to help people out, too. He anticipates opening the community gymnasium for people without beds come winter, and a growing pile of sleeping bags and blankets sits in his office.
Those protesters from Arizona, Georgia and California won't know what hit them when the cold rushes in, he says.

A shrug of indifference

Ten miles west of the protests, a man who doesn't want to be named, for fear of retribution, admits he looks forward to the pipeline. It'll mean fewer trucks barreling down these rural highways and fewer trains flying down the tracks.
Back at Cannon Ball, however, Carl Bruce, 52, isn't afraid to say his piece. For this Standing Rock Sioux who has lived his life here, the pipeline doesn't matter. If it breaks, he says he'd just work around it.

The "protest" is a fucking freakshow bought and paid for by the enviroterrorists. The have an orchestrated campaign spewing misinformation and outright lies, and sheeple believe it. The "noble native americans" are a pawn as usual. They have destroyed millions of dollar in property, and one of the "peaceful" protesters shot at a deputy 3 times with her 38. There is no sacred site there, and it is not on the reservation.

I know it's hard for you selfish fucks to imagine, but a lot of these people have taken time off from their jobs, or quit them altogether to go to North Dakota and support the efforts there. 

And it won't fucking matter one bit who has a job when you can't drink the fucking water. 

Lmao can you back that up with anything?

Usually in Canada they protest like this until they get a cut. They're just mad because they're getting nothing

I've gotta be honest, I'm not sure I've ever encountered such a militant pot-head.  Personally, it's the only drug I've ever used that has never lead me into a confrontation of some sorts. :dunno: 

Maybe it's a stronger strain developed by the military?

Same here it a huge fucking shakedown. That is why they will never build a pipeline again across any of their "imaginary" soveriegn nations. The only reason they didn't build it upstream was to stay off the rez.

Here is a Canadian chart. Uncontained Releases on our pipelines averaged 113 per year. 

So that's stuff that got away on them. Incidences were 147. An incident has to be over 1.5 cubic metres which is roughly 400 gallons.  So if any of you think it would be ok to dump 350 gallons of oil on your land and it not to be reportable maybe you should volunteer to have these pipelines upstream from you.

Keep in mind the pipeline companies have been accused of under reporting these issues.

So the question is. Why would they risk their drinking water so someone else can get rich?

Remember this is in Canada. It must be much worse in the US. since we are such a bunch of lefties up here.

Good, Let's dump it in your ag well and see what happens.

It is not going in your ag well, this shit has been going on for a hundred years. Even with the shitty old tech no cataclism occured. There are thousands of piplines under thousands of rivers in the US. Yes, there have been spills in the last 100 years, long term effect....nothing. It is not fucking plutonium.

So I suppose you'd have no problem running a pipeline thru your back yard? Or your front yard? Or both?
