Thug Life, Corporate Style

A professional goon squad hired by the Dakota Access Pipeline Company attacked peaceful protesters with dogs and pepper spray on Sunday and bulldozed a sacred site for which a request for a restraining order was before a judge, rendering the court's pending decision moot.

Capitalism's golden hour.

All that fracking will destroy the aquifer in North Dakota. They ship all the polluted water to Oklahoma where they pump it into deep wells. Suddenly Oklahoma is having earthquakes like never before.

Corporations never do any wrong, only the government sends thugs to beat people.........
Unless those people happen to be Black, of course. Then, the "thugs" are our "Heroes in Blue" and damn you for calling them thugs. NO, this isn't racism, you GD'ed racist!

See, I can think like a Republican too. It gives me a headache and I don't particularly care for it, but..............

How dare those Native Americans bury the dead where a couple hundred years later it would be the cheapest place to lay an oil pipeline so us real 'mercuns don't have to give up our big block SUV's.
