Tear gas, freezing cold water and rubber bullets were used to disperse a crowd of 400 protesters at the Dakota Access Pipeline in clashes late Sunday and early Monday that left more than 150 activists and one law enforcement officer injured.

There are a fair amount of Indians up there who are doing the protesting.

However, it should be noted that the lions share are white old 60’s counter-culture protestors and the 20 and 30 something professional protestor element from the Twin Cities.

These so-called protestors have been committing many more crimes than just trespassing.

Some gal from my son’s school died in a car wreck coming back from the protest. I held my tongue out of respect, but was going to quip something about how she must have been walking or riding her bike and got hit by a car.

I wonder how many pipelines are between Seattle and N. Dakota? Why not protest those that are already in the ground? And getting older and leakier by the minute.

In short, the protest is actually over money, which the Left is going out their way to ignore.

Perhaps at the beginning by some members of Standing Rock. It's evolved into the same anti-capitalist bunch from around the country that protest every event trying to spread their chaos. I live here in ND, too. The North Dakota people are plenty pissed off at the whole damn bunch of them. The misinformation being reported outside our area is obscene. Even here on Free Republic, people are woefully uninformed.

He’s right it has turned into more and the Indians are happy to stick to the white man. Many Indians around here think its still 1880.

And they are bringing others. I was in town the other day and saw a Seminole (OK) plate and lots of plates from South Dakota Reservations even down at the south end of the state (Rosebud, Pine Ridge).

If Joe Bastardi is right, the U.S. is going to have a good old-fashioned winter this year, which should put the kibosh on anti-Trump protesting for a few months, starting in December. With any luck it will be 10 degrees in DC on Inauguration Day (”Free at last. Free at last. Thank God Almighty, we’re free at last.”)

Just got about a foot of snow the last 24 hours (Rochester, NY).
Atypical ... 2-5 inches more the norm for this time of the year.

Protesters? Activists? 400 of them?

You have to ask...”what the hell do they do to make their living?” Oh! The name Soros comes to mind.

Well, I guess that “cold shower” was the first body wash they had in many months. The rubber bullets would chip off some of the grime that had hardened in their crotch area and under-arms and a little “coaxing” by the police probably made some do what they were told to do. You know...like obey the laws and respect private property.

Now, let’s get real and actually have them rounded up and ARRESTED!

I have a friend who left Fargo because of their winters. Winter CAN last from November to April.

It snowed here in Fargo last week. Right on your friend's schedule.

I think this is a court ordered resumption of continuing the pipeline. The facts of the case are on the company’s side, but finding facts is difficult. The public needs to be well informed to tamp down the sympathy being shown the protesters.

The idea is to spray water at them. They go home but still are alive.

Call the green energy companies that paid them to protest and ask for some of that ‘global warming’ to heat them up.
