When you surround a vehicle, you're not peaceful -- Dakota Access Pipeline worker truck surrounded by protesters, pulls gun and starts driving (h/t Josh)

About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Thank goodness for people that have the courage to not be cowed. Climb on my vehicle take a chance you will be hurt by said vehicle. They keep saying " peaceful protest" I don't think it means what they think it means.
Peaceful protest = we protest, you surrender peacefully and apologize for making us so angry that we had to do that.
Being surrounded by 100 people trying to stop you can be life threatening. I knew an ex-British Army MP who drove through Catholic districts of Londonderry or Belfast with Claymores mounted on the side of his vehicle for such occasions. If he went down, they were going to remember him.
Protesters who put their bodies in front of vehicles in order to stop otherwise legal activities are not peaceful. Thy prey on the decency of their opposition to not harm them and instead surrender and eventually lose their jobs. I like the guy waving his gun. In Canada he would have been arrested and get to lose his job as a bonus. Where there is no retaliatory use of force or threat thereof, there is no justice. Now, if these are Indians as they appear to be, and they are protesting the outcome of their defeat from centuries past, they could always revive that conflict and then sign a new treaty after another defeat. Or, they could get over it and assimilate. Existing in a state of government-subsidized arrested development on the Reserves is not conducive to moving-on.
The liberal left wants unarmed victims for SJW to bully.
Only in a few US States does an American citizen still have a limited right to protect themselves.
If that incident had happened in Canada, that law abiding taxpayer minding his own business would never again have seen the light of day sitting in an RCMP prison.
PS: Loved the cameraman slurring his words through his "commentary", needs a Nobel Prize in something now.
Redefining "safe space".

I am just waiting until the WRONG driver is confronted on one of America's highways clogged with BLM protesters or Trump Derangement protesters. A 3,000lb machine moving at 65mph will do some serious damage to the typical 185lb lesbian protester.
And BTW ... every OIL and GAS pipeline in America is "sacred" to me ... so whose "sacred" Right of Way Trumps the other ? Huh ... I think the answer is contained within my question.
Already happened the other day. "Protest" moved into highway, dude went into left lane to try to avoid, clipped a moron. I'd link the video if I wasn't on an iphone and had it handy.
A read on what's actually happening out there:
http://www.wdaz.com/news/4159502-column-what-dakota-access-pipeline-protesters-arent-telling-you
That's a good link.
Sayanythingblog.com also has a lot of info.
I especially like how local livestock are being found dead and partially butchered by the Gaia lovers.
if'n that was me driving my truck, there's be some tomahawk wrapping on my drive shaft
I read some of the news items on that website.
The protesters are a real charming bunch, aren't they? Many are from outside North Dakota (some coming from Canada) and lots of them have criminal records for violent behaviour.
It was sure nice of them cut through that rancher's fence, chase his buffalo to the point of upsetting the animals, and then slaughter some of them, wasn't it?
Never mind that they're hurting his livelihood. It's all about what they, or whoever's bankrolling them, wants.
