Protesters are playing with fire now trespassing on sites between New Salem and Glen Ullin today. Getting into some territory where the land owners I know would definitely be taking things into their own hands. :gotone:
here is the real cause of all this. originally they wanted to run it through the reservation. pipeline company offered 10 million to go through the rez. the greedy bastards said nope 50 million. so they went another direction. so now the tribal leaders have fired up the youngens to raise hell and make it look like a water and burial issue. It's strictly a money issue. If they had paid them the 50 million not a one would be out there.
haven't been able to confirm it but it makes perfect sense. the media will no doubt try to portray that wasn't the case.Is that a rumor is that true --- I looked at the whole situation and said they picked the cheapest place they could cross -- where somebody else went accross with the wires (back when i used to bank rat that area) and the natural gas pipeline. The easements were purchased previously and the land was already surveyed etc and the river is about ye wide in that spot.
Yeah I've seen that rummer on here and else where and it just doesn't seem to make sense. If they had gone through the rez not only are you adding another county in which to pay taxes in but your adding a second substantial river crossing. These guys purposely avoided any unnecessary river crossings to the point that they break away from the Northern Border line just after crossing the Hart river if traveling east to west so they didn't have to cross big muddy creek. I wonder if the money was for the current spot just to placate them?
I love how he thought my post was about what he posted instead of who it was posted too!:;:cheers
Only took 31 pages! Now this sucker will hit 50, easy.
You certainly are a tricky one Mr. Nelson............. I "love" how you think this is about something other than what it is. People manipulating useful idiots for an agenda.
You still have not told us EXACTLY how you would have handled this from the start.

Yeah I thought the "greed" card would have been played ,much earlier.........
Think Mr. Nelson can tell us how he would have handled it in under 50?
I'm actually with gst for this one. It's a bunch of people chanting "fight the power" when they don't know why they're chanting said phrase.
Actually no I wrote it out in detail so learn to pay attention a little better.
Agreed, useful and expendable idiots used to make the other idiots think the protesting idiots have a legitimate beef. Slowly but surely this country tilts left, one little loud group of idiots at a time. Maybe they are not complete idiots at all.
Pipeline has now sued the protesters and is seeking a restraining order. If i was them i would tell the cops to do their job because were not going to stop doing ours.
According to the governors office, state costs directly associated with pipeline protests total about $1.8 million.
how much in fines are they collecting?
Perhaps you can see where one might be confused as to the exact way you would have handled this Mr. Nelson.
