Where's the OUTRAGE? Pipeline protest in ND.
From my friends Facebook page. I could not say it better.
"I couldn't be more disturbed than I am about the troubles in North Dakota this morning. I checked the website of every major news outlet last night, after seeing the facebook post about the riot police w/automatic weapons arresting protesters (and reporters from a small web/news site), and there was not one story about it. NPR had a little blurb that was 3 days old, at the bottom. They've shut off phones, water, and internet service in the entire area, and blocked all the roads in and out. When they shut off the internet in Cairo during the "Arab Spring" conflict in Egypt, everyone was outraged. Where is the outrage now? Why are we allowing this to happen here in the home of the brave, and the land of the free? Don't bother going there, the "authorities" won't let you in. Why do they need riot police? Why is the National Guard protecting a pipeline from peaceful protesters? But please, let me know how you feel about Colin Kapernick and the National Anthem, because that's a real news story."
