Well this is going to get interesting

Has anyone heard for sure whatever happened to the woman who blew her arm partially off?
Has she gotten out of the hospital?
Has she ever been charged?
Did they ever prove her injuries were from a propane bottle?

Yes she was charged with federal charges and there was overwhelming evidence showing the home made devises blowing her own arm up.

Can you provide a link to any articles where they confirmed this??

Here are my Native Amercian two cents:
--Working as the director of an off reservation/non native clinic, I have been asked many times for my expert opinion. (being the only native there and all...) My answer takes my coworkers by surprise. My answer I give them is an abridged version of my whole feeling upon the pipeline and related issues.
-----I tell them that I wish that "my people" would stop wasting their collective energy on short sighted goals such as this pipeline; and another example being the fighting sioux nickname from past years..... Instead of wasting our collective forces to "win" battles; we need to direct this energy to winning the war---keeping our people relevant in the next millenia and beyond. We won the battle about the name change.....So what? What did we win? I didnt get anything in the mail. What Changed? The win didnt make me proud of who I am, I have always been proud to be Native American. All seen was the race relations in Grand Forks and surrounding areas being set back 20 years. The same IS and WILL happen with the pipeline no matter the outcome.
When I say relevant for the next millenia; I mean that there is alot of work that needs to be done to bring my people into the 21st century. When we became a conquered people and signed treaties for peace, we became wards of the US War Department. The Federal Government took on the responsibility of providing care to the conquered race within their lands. When this happened, over time we, as Native Americans lost our ability to adapt to the world around us.
Now as I look at my people as a whole, I see a large portion that want to hold fast to the ways of the past. I see some who have accepted that fact that we are in a white world and adapted to survive. I fall in this category. I am a husband and father and I do not see how protests such as this are conducive to us moving forward. Fighting the big machine of America is an antiquated method of getting the world to change. You know I help keep my people relevant? I become someone in society. I work to advance my career to show young natives everyday, that our paths are no longer set by the War Department. It is OUR job to take control of our futures and show the world that we belong, the same as everyone else. I was taught to never wait around for the scraps the Government gives you; you go out there and bust your ass and then demand a seat at the table. That's how we succeed. The End

I will have to look later but am pretty sure i saw a good read on it on morton counties law enforcement website or FB page, they had a lot of the actual investigation pictures displayed from the scene as well, was pretty gruesome. There was actual video footage of her throwing explosive devises at the law enforcement and of the actual blast that took her arm. Once this evidence popped up and the charges were filed is when that story got mummed by the media and not a single word of it since. Guess it doesn't fit the peaceful prayerful illusion they were trying to portray.

I see she has a picture of her injured arm on her Facebook. It looks pretty like a very significant injury. Way more that what a concussion round to clearly do. From what I can find out the witness from Williston who is an apparent witness refuses or has refused to testify at the Grand Jury. Geee.....I wonder why! Could it be because it is a bogus claim and that she and the other 2 idiots by the barricade that night thought they could pull off a McGyver type bomb? Bad thing is, they thought they were smarter than they thought. Bad thing is, they slept at the protest camp and not at a Holiday Inn Express.

We have some friends that are Indian and they said basically the same thing. They say you must leave the reservation and get a good job and work your way up, just like everybody else. I can't say what they say about the ones who basically do drugs and drink, but it pretty much is the same as we think of anyone no matter what color who won't work but still do drug and drink.

I got a kick out of this brilliant protestor quoted in the Tribune today:

The camp’s population was always diverse in its opinions and one is Matthew Borke, also of Detroit. He’s salvaging and reconstructing dock pieces, formerly set out on the Cannonball River, and plans to ride out any flood water on a floating camp.

“I’m building a raft so I don’t have to leave. I’ve got 11 of these (docks) for one big ark,” he said. “I’m not really in fear of a flood.”

What a moron! Man I would have a hard time not sneaking down there on a night with high west winds and cut his ropes and watch him head for the east side of the lake! The real dumb thing is there is plenty of high ground in the immediate area of that camp.

Just wait till we have to pull his body from the lake. I guess he has no idea about the ice chunks afloat. ;:;banghead

 

[Bullsnake]

I've had a few, don't care one way or another as long as it's done right, protest was hijacked and turned to shit long ago, currently helping with the clean up while dumb and dumber keep stirring up the idiots but i'm tired of commenters lumping everybody in as one who live down here with the bullshit

Bullsnake I don't think I have seen you comment on this before what are your thoughts on the pipeline.

I'm not saying this is false, but why haven't I heard of this before today?????? I mean, I'm busy, but try to keep on top of things a little bit. This would be HUGE, because they are still saying that crap around here. Why oh why isn't this being put out there more if true??????

 

[lunkerslayer]

Yes she was charged with federal charges and there was overwhelming evidence showing the home made devises blowing her own arm up.

How come when I Google this woman she hasn't been charged with anything the grand jury hearing was postponed till today Feb 1.

You mean that it was not a military flash bang from the police? I can't believe they would fib so, I am now in a state of shock:::
Hope her father feels like a dip (but I doubt it) for what he had said.

there was an article in the Bismarck tribune when the grand jury was empaneled.

 

[dean nelson]

Yeah but nothing more. I just searched as well and it's not moved since jan 5th or so. Was happy to see that the FBI took her cloths and the pieces of shrapnel from her arm as evidence. the symbol obvious fact right now is if and when she gets charged it will be all over the local news probably not the national but the local will have it everywhere.

 

[Wild and Free]

Seems the videos have been removed, I can't dig deep enough to find them now, It was actual LEO video of her in action I watched it several times a few weeks ago when it came out but I have so many news feeds I can't remember which one had the videos of it. Here is a story I found about the propane tank that had her DNA and burned tissue on it after the explosion that injured her arm. This info was on the LEO web site at the same time as the videos.
