LMAO: Dakota Access Protesters Cause ‘ECOLOGICAL DISASTER’ – Can You Say, ‘Hello Morons?’
Emergency Evacuation. Because eco-protesters are REALLY bad for the environment.
Want a clue that the protesters may have been mercenaries rather than true believers in the cause? Look no further!
“Gov. Doug Burgum today signed an emergency evacuation order out of concern for the safety of people who are residing on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land in southern Morton County and to avoid an ecological disaster to the Missouri River,” the governor’s office said in a statement.
“Warm temperatures have accelerated snowmelt in the area of the Oceti Sakowin protest camp … Due to these conditions, the governor’s emergency order addresses safety concerns to human life as anyone in the floodplain is at risk for possible injury or death,” said the statement.
However, “the order also addresses the need to protect the Missouri River from the waste that will flow into the Cannonball River and Lake Oahe if the camp is not cleared and the cleanup expedited,” the statement read.
…Just how much waste and trash did the environmentally conscious DAPL protesters leave? “Local and federal officials estimate there’s enough trash and debris in the camp to fill about 2,500 pickup trucks,” reported AP.
“Garbage ranges from trash to building debris to human waste, according to Morton County Emergency Manager Tom Doering,” the AP report continued. In addition to rubbish and excrement, there are also a lot of abandoned cars at the site.
“There are roughly 200 vehicles down there at last count, ranging from cars and pickups to rental trucks,” George Kuntz, vice president of the North Dakota Towing Association, said in an interview with Western Wire.
“We’re going to have a very drastic situation trying to keep these vehicles from getting into the river — what everybody’s been trying to protect from Day One,” he said
…Rarely does an incident so perfectly illustrate the utter hypocrisy of the Left. Activists who said DAPL shows no respect for Native land have trashed that very land. Activists who declared they were there to protect the water have left fossil fuel-filled cars, human waste, and garbage leaking into that water. — Lifezette —
Protesters also set fires on the bridge that left serious damage to be repaired.
