The victims of the crimes are still alive today. Native Americans and Black Americans aren't impoverished because they chose to be.


The tribe isn't expressing interest in any sort of control except over the lands they already own and the land 10 miles north where the pipeline will be, so obviously they shouldn't have Bismarck/Denver because they don't want it.

If we perpetuate a crime or injustice for long enough, it's okay. We are marching towards a bright and glorious future, and we should look forwards and not backwards. Obama said as much.

Using tear gas in a war is literally a war crime under the geneva convention. The geneva convention just doesn't ban what you can do to your own citizens.

America doesn't care about the Geneva convention regardless :ssh:

There were some low points in this thread, but I think that was the nadir.

This is not a NIMBY protest. It's a not in any backyard protest.

What does this mean?

The protesters don't want the pipeline anywhere not just not in their backyard.

I suppose you have some accreditation naming you speaker of all protesters?

Protesters on numerous occasion have made it clear that they don't want the pipeline to be built period.

Trudeau just approved two pipelines in Canada and the native population is also against those pipelines. No more pipelines.

All pipelines of any significance have to cross water at some point.

Who was it that kept bringing up copper mines on tribal lands and how it's an example of how well they can work hand in glove and keep everything hunky-dory, too?

I like the whole "let my mother-in-law run over protestors" law. Like, I understand how someone could conjur this boogeyman of protestors jumping out in front of traffic just to get hurt, but really, your response to it is, hey let's make it legal to run people over? Also, one of the legislatures wanted to invite protestors to the discussions on the state budget.

We have dumb legislators is what I'm saying

Legislators and those backing legislators aren't dumb. The success of their reactionary agenda is pretty self evident, and they didn't just luck into this success.
