"CANNON BALL, N.D. (Reuters) - More than 2,000 U.S. military veterans plan to form a human shield to protect protesters of a pipeline project near a Native American reservation in North Dakota, organizers said, just ahead of a federal deadline for activists to leave the camp they have been occupying.
It comes as North Dakota law enforcement backed away from a previous plan to cut off supplies to the camp – an idea quickly abandoned after an outcry and with law enforcement’s treatment of Dakota Access Pipeline protesters increasingly under the microscope.
The protesters have spent months rallying against plans to route the $3.8 billion Dakota Access Pipeline beneath a lake near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, saying it poses a threat to water resources and sacred Native American sites."
I'm surprised the media isnt providing more coverage on this massive ND protest. What do you guys think?

They build nests in them. We've found a few with hypodermic needles in them over the years. It is very sad, actually. And there really aren't anymore bulls to keep them out other than at the big switch yards, either.
Where's Ernest Borgnine when you need him !
Shit! ROK beat me to it.
Ultimately someone will be forced to pay for the delays or the re-alignment of the pipe. Taxpayer. Enjoy the spectacle, you are paying for it.
Excellent post!Spot on.

Fantastic movie, especially considering I'm a big fan of both Borgnine and Marvin.
Guess it's not political.
In no one's mind.
No question that companies should not be allowed to risk polluting other people's water.
As for "sacred Native American sites," I guess I'm grown accustomed to such kinds of sacrilege. For instance, my favorite NYC building is Trinity Church at One Wall Street. There is no oil pipeline under it, just a subway.
