Lol. Maybe you should haul this logistical support up there yourself. Take a gander at things. I don't support the government here, but, Ummm isn't it all happening under Democrat leadership? Obama is still prez, it's all happening on Dem watch. Always has been.

You do them no favors by doing this. Obama could stop it in its tracks if he had wanted to.

Those protesting here should learn the difference.

These protesters are one Georges Soro's dime.

This is exactly why Trump won the election. A bunch of elitist environmentalist fly in from CA, Martha's Vineyard, the Hamptons and try to ruin the livelihoods of some people in fly over country. Then they go back to their day jobs while the food disappears off thousands of dinner tables.

Actually... the ones that can't stand the ND cold, are being paid to move on to other projects.... Protesting is their job now..... Wonder what they put on their 1040?

Maybe you should take your political blinkers off and look at this for what it really is: standing up to environmental catastrophe. This looming disaster knows no political allegiance

No he couldn't, and even if he wanted to I doubt he has the balls to. The protesters are the only ones with those.

It's private property. If they complain to the police, it's their duty to respond.

How do you get around that? Pick and choose based upon whether you like the property owner or refuse to honor any private property rights? Some other option?

That's certainly what the mouth breathing morons who designed the pipeline thought. Where is the containment liner in the trench? Where are the leak sensors? Why did they think they could get away with using ductile iron pipe which erodes easily and springs leaks?

Oil companies are sucking vast fortunes out of the Bakken, but want to build the cheapest, shoddiest pipeline possible. It's not a possibility that the pipeline will leak, it's a certainty. They need to redesign the whole mess and bring it up to a reasonable safety standard. Every service station in America dug up its tanks to install leak containment and sensors. The oil companies can do the same with their pipelines.
