ND Law Enforcement lays siege to Standing Rock Protesters - Polidicks

[quote] CANNON BALL, N.D. — North Dakota law enforcement will begin to block supplies from reaching protesters at a camp near the construction site of an oil pipeline project in an effort to force demonstrators to vacate the area, officials said on Tuesday. Activists have spent months protesting plans to route the $3.8 billion Dakota Access Pipeline beneath a lake near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, saying the project poses a threat to water resources and sacred Native American sites. Supplies, including food and building materials, will be blocked from entering the main camp following Governor Jack Dalrymple’s signing of an “emergency evacuation” order on Monday, said Maxine Herr, a spokeswoman from the Morton County Sheriff’s Department. “They have deliveries, retailers that are delivering to them — we will turn around any of those services,” she said. The order was effective immediately. As of Tuesday morning, however, no vehicles carrying supplies had been turned back, said Cecily Fong, a spokeswoman for the North Dakota Department of Emergency Services. The building materials intended for the site are a top priority because the camp is not zoned for permanent structures, Fong said. Propane tanks also will be blocked because they have been used in attacks against law enforcement, she said. A spokeswoman from the Standing Rock Sioux tribe was not immediately available for comment. The 1,172-mile pipeline project, owned by Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners LP, is mostly complete except for a segment planned to run under Lake Oahe, a reservoir formed by a dam on the Missouri River.[/quote] [url=http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nation-and-world/nd-law-enforcement-block-pipeline-protesters-supplies-after-evacuation-order]Review Journal[/url] Welcome to Mini-Stalingrad, protesters. Considering you have only experienced a taste of North Dakota's winters, what with the two feet of snow and 30mph winds, we welcome you to our lovely state.

Down here in SD its too damn windy and cold to walk to my car without freezing my hairy white ass off, i cant imagine how much worse it is 250 miles north and with no supplies. Those indians have got some serious balls, ill tell you that.

In all seriousness, with this wind and snow amount, they really do need to leave that camp and get to real shelter.

Inconvenience to you or anyone else. acting like you're holier than thou because you're properly prepared for winter only serves to make you look bad.

Most of us are chill here, just ignore the few radical rednecks On topic, it's been snowing constantly here since Sunday night and will continue to do so till Wednesday is over. I feel terrible for these protesters outside, this is a very harsh, but common warning from ND's weather. Hopefully nothing bad happens.

Doesnt matter what your cause is or how just you think it is, living outside in the coldest place on earth is just stupid and reckless.

I'm just saying its fucking stupid to sit outside and literally freeze to death over a matter thats already been decided. Fighting and dying for your right to exist or to be free is one thing, sitting in a tent and freezing to death over a completely safe pipeline is another thing.

Do we even really know if they aren't prepared for the cold or not?

If they stay out at that camp, people will die and people will be maimed by the cold. There are no 2 ways about it. Rosa Parks wasnt risking her fingers and toes to the elements when she refused to move out of her seat.

[QUOTE=Mr Clean;51447796]It's not really stupid at all South Koreans [I]just[/I] succeeded in getting their president out of office through protest.[/QUOTE] This isnt a protest against a politician who is out of her mind and confiding government secrets to civilians. This is a protest against a pipeline, a corporation theyre protesting who wont give way.

[QUOTE=Cyke Lon bee;51447855]Do they have permanent structures with built in heat systems? No they dont, so they are not prepared. The Core of Engineers wont let them build structures there since its federal land.[/QUOTE] You can survive in the cold with temporary structures and heat systems

[QUOTE=Mr Clean;51447864]You can survive in the cold with temporary structures and heat systems[/QUOTE] Not in North Dakota dood. Its already dropped 12+ inches of snow over the past 2 days and come January, its going to be deep in the megatives with 40mph winds and horrible wind chills. You can not survive here without a permanent structure and good heat systems.
