Jfc the people criticizing green helmet in that quote are really arrogant and self absorbed. Like even if the photos were "staged" did they maybe consider he couldn't stage them as propaganda if they didn't kill all those children?

Staging dead bodies is ghoulish at best, you ghoul. How about some respect for a dead child rather than using it's corpse as a prop?

I wonder there are some corporate big wigs who sit at home in a silent, shaking rage who would absolutely steam roll the protesters if they had the option. like some dude in a big leather armchair clenching a glass of scotch that he's ten seconds from casting into the roaring fireplace to go on a rant about destroying the peasants who dare to impede progress.

It's amazing that a bunch of racist, cop-hating rednecks can literally point sniper rifles at cops on a ranch and get away with it because they're white.

Native American though? That means you've got non-white skin and hence are clearly out to cause cops harm, despite the abscense of firearms or weapons.

It would be nice if all those super rich Indians that own all the casinos would hire private mercenaries to go and protect the protesters but I'm pretty sure they lack any kind of solidarity even with their own people.

A lot of the revenue at most support social programs (a friend of mine works for Tulalip which one would assume is very well off but they're not doing that great); payouts are usually unallowable in many cases.

Although I know the Chapokee/Mystic Lake get huge payouts, their members are millionaires--I doubt they're overly concerned about any of this.

I thought it was par for the course when protestors for Native American water rights were being sprayed with water in freezing temperatures and it was invisible in the news, but this is something else.

I know nobody cares about the Natives or water, but why is the police dismembering a young woman not being reported on?

Because they recovered improvised explosives from where the injured woman was pulled from. It's looking like just another case of not respecting the destructive powers of propane as opposed to police brutality.

Honestly, there is an enormous amount of misinformation flying around among supporters of the protestors and a lot of the rationale that has been effecting the protests doesn't make a whole lot of sense under scrutiny. I still support the protestors on the whole, but I wish people could curb the echo chamber histrionics. Not that that will happen.

I've literally heard chemtrail conspiracies from supporters, I feel like those of us in support of these movements need to do something about the crazies or they're gonna end up trumped.

Considering the history of the fbi/CIA/police tactics against protesters (see COINTELPRO) I can't help but wonder if the vocal crazies in every protest are just government plants

I remember in '05 or so that Native kid massacred a bunch of classmates in MN, and the thing dominating the news cycle was Terry Shaivo IIRC. I'm assuming if there was some Wounded Knee-esque massacre (which probably won't happen), it'll receive similar exposure.

Global warming is barely a big deal at all compared to the trajectory we used to be on. We'll have to do a lot of environmental engineering projects along certain shorelines and it will be a little warmer and wetter in some places, big fucking deal.
Why don't these people just bring guns. No one did poo poo to the Bundys and their retard brigade because they had guns out the rear end. Except that one that got shot and killed lol

Because they would get lynched and it would be an indecisive victory, more of a sore loss than anything else.

Instead they've gone straight for the source and the glory to be had in cop killing.
