Two children were burned, one of them severely, at the Dakota Access camp evacuation Wednesday after remaining activists set fire to about 20 shelters and a vehicle in what was described as a departure ceremony. North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum said a 17-year-old girl was airlifted to a hospital in Minneapolis, and that a seven-year-old boy was also hurt as most of the activists left the camp in compliance with a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers eviction order. Most of those remaining at the camp left peacefully, but 10 protesters were arrested after making their way onto Highway 1806 and refusing to disperse.

Why do Democrats protest on highways so much? Is it because they want to be steamrolled or is it because they think/know the cameras will follow them there? It’s like volunteering to be a human sized bowling pin.

This proves they don’t really care about the environment. It’s just anti-capitalism. Someone posted a story here earlier about them burning fuel to stay warm and leaving enough trash to fill 250 garbage truck.

Arrest the parents of the children injured, and charge them with child endangerment!

Once again, the Democrats that scream ‘it’s for the children!’ are the first to sacrifice children, and now their own, for their agenda.

(Remember the children of Waco.)

They deliberately deliberately set fires that is arson which is a criminal offense and even more serious where injury occurs. I expect charges will follow against the arsonists.

I/m sure setting fire to all their crap was very “environmentally sound”. Hypocrites

I’m sure many had attended Burning Man or another similar festival and were trying to recreate the experience. Yes, it is similar to a heathen worship activity.
