Message: <blockquote data-quote="dean nelson" data-source="post: 123636" data-attributes="member: 1305">This fall the thing I always found the most telling was that I often would be within just a mile or two of the protest camps at there peak numbers yet if I wasn't on the paved roads it was like nothing was happening. Met more then one truck of hunters both native and white who all seemed to view standing rocks version of burning man from the same perspective. Everyone knew even back in oct that no matter how the fight worked out the people of standing rock would end up being the biggest losers in this fight. You can't alienate the next door neighbors without having repercussions long after the fight is over.....and let's be honest when your neighbors hold all the cards in the deck it needless to say is stacked against you. Should they have stood up and let there voice be heard above all the rest of the noise sure but let's not forget even us on this website had to be careful about what we would say because of possible repercussions let alone being literally surrounded by the troublemakers and not just something we watched on TV. I for one am most interested to watch how the next few months to a couple years play out for the key people in this particular endeavor with particular focus on DAPL Dave and psycho bitch from the sacred Stone camp not to mention dick lick Iron Eyes! The reservation is very good at metering out their own Justice weather on the books or far too often off. Either way it definitely made for a shit ton to talk about during what would normally be a crazy boring time on here. If your truly honest with yourself and even marginally aware of the repercussions of the actions that we all lament the members of Standing Rock not taking it at least for me is hard to say I would have done differently then they. That is a group of people that by our hand and even more so their own hands have been marginalized their entire lives and many of them found to survive the best thing you can do is duck and cover and to make no waves that break against the native side of the shore. That may be the worng mindset to have and one quite foreign to many of us but it's the way many have made it this far.....it's also the reason they have gone no further but that a debate is one for later. For me in the end other then what's her ass and iron eyes i have no ill will when I meet a new person from down there till they give me reason to.....hell that would be like hating people from Grand forks just because so many there are over the top Democrats with an extraordinary limited grip on reality! So just don't lump them into one group or all we end up with is more pent-up animosity when in reality it's probably just better to let it go and move on.....for Christ sare we fucking won in the end.Sorry to be preachy and even if find myself generalizing them as a group even though I know it's not correct.</blockquote>
