Veterans: Dakota Access Pipeline 'Will Not Get Completed'

[Leghorn21]

11. 100% peaceful, and vets will be unarmed as pinboy says

There should be hundreds of articles on the early December action, but I can only find the one below, grrrr

Wesley Clark and Michael Wood Jr. put together a group of 2,000 veterans to go to Standing Rock Dec. 4-7 and protect the water protectors...the plan was that the vets would stand peacefully between the protectors and the police and mercs...period.

Well, by God, the DAY they arrived, there was a killer blizzard. the cops stood down, the vets turned into 4,000 instead of 2,000, the final permit was withheld, and it was quite a moving sight and celebration!!!

Article:
(ANTIMEDIA) In early December, many Americans celebrated the Army Corps of Engineers decision to withhold a final permit for the Dakota Access Pipeline, a project that drew ongoing demonstrations from native Standing Rock Sioux “water protectors,” environmentalists, and other activists.

The Corps decision, which effectively halted construction, at least temporarily, until an environmental impact assessment could be conducted, coincided with the arrival of thousands of U.S. military veterans to the camp. They had vowed to defend protesters from heavily militarized and aggressive police, as well as to prevent construction on the pipeline itself.
