As some people are aware, there is a controversial pipeline in North Dakota, that is mostly finished with the exception of a bore under the Mo.
Some people supportel it for good reasons, some people oppose it for good reasons, amd a few thousand people are living in a camp on federal, public land with no utilities and no running water as they protest it.
The location of this camp is located on army corps of engineers land. Like most federal, public lands, there is a 14 day camping limit. This particular location also lies in a floodplain.
Right now the area is receiving about a foot of snow, and with next weeks wind chills predicted to reach well below 0° it is probably a safe assumption to say that many of the protesters will not be sticking around to endure a cold that you cannot understand unless you have experienced it yourself. -50 wind chills for days at a time are a very real possibility.
Human excrement, garbage, tents, tipis, cars, and anything left behind will wind up in the river that they are claiming to protect. Whether it be an ice jam or spring flooding, this area will be underwater within the next five months, possibly much sooner.
One of the malheur occupants was killed and the rest forced to surrender or share in his fate. Obviously the Bundys and and the protesters at standing rock have different causes, but they both seem to agree that the destruction of land that belongs to all Americans is a justifiable means to an end.
I guess my question is, where is the outrage from groups like BHA for the illegal occupation of our public land in North Dakota?
Limits on party size, and camping duration are in place for a reason. Pictures of the campsite portray it as more of a hippie fest of white liberal rainbow types than it is of a Native American encampment.
