Why does someone have to die before we take notice? Seriously injured water protector Sophia Wilansky had her arm ripped apart by a concussion grenade last night. Is that the person who should die? Completion of the pipeline was delayed in September so the US Army Corps of Engineers could re-examine permits that would allow construction under the Missouri River, near the tribe's lands. Meanwhile, Energy Transfer Partners LP continues to build the pipeline, defying the court orders. Info: //www.reuters.com/article/us-north-dakota-pipeline-iduskbn136200. I repeat - the Energy Transfer Partners defies court orders and continues to build. As the federal government has not stopped the company from building, the tribe has taken it upon themselves to halt construction. The Sheriff is refusing to follow the orders as well.
Solution: National Guard to disband local law enforcement, and arrest and jail oil company top executives until the tribe can be heard, and a peaceful solution arranged.
