Oil Continues to Flow, But Protest Eyesore Persists
You wanna know the easiest way to be rid of these half wits and eco terrorist? Take every single petroleum product away from them. I bet they shut their mouths rapidly.
So fine them,take them to jail. What I'm hearing is that the protesters made a mess but pipeline made it look nice
I'll come take that deer stand!! Don't throw that!!!
Everywhere they go they leave a mess. Their encampment south of Naytahwaush, at the intersection of County Road #4 and State Hwy 113 was the same. Garbage, old vehicles with engine oil and transmission fluid coming off of them, no sanitation, old campers left behind. But hey, they are protecting our water! No one else can abuse public property like that.
I drive by a minimum of twice a day, and it's been empty for better part of a week and almost completely empty of people for weeks
They have on near Bagley also!
These are the same idiots who want green energy and save the earth! Just a bunch of slobs which they are, can’t clean up after themselves. The worst one was up in North Dakota where they left tons of trash for the state to clean up. Lefty pigs who leave the earth dirty! It’s not the oil companies leaving trash behind.
Honor our Treaties!
"Won't even let my deputy on the property" 😂 cry then
Leaving their mark, like dogs do.
