Going by google news, yesterday the protests "turned violent." NPR quotes only the local sheriff in their story, who says the protest was more of a riot. Only democracynow, commondreams, and something called collectiveevolution seem to be using any language other than "protest turned violent."

tsa posted:This thread has less posts in 3 days than the militia thread had in 3 minutes. Media these days reacts to what people are talking about and not even d&d seems to care much. The story doesn't fit into the election narrative, or an of the larger left vs. right narratives - petrochemical companies are proudly bipartisan. Also, this kind of direct action protest is usually directed against something the government is doing, not a private interest. No amount of suffering will appeal to the better natures of a publicly traded corporation unless it becomes a PR disaster, which it is unlikely to do because the media doesn't care.
