Lakota Indians Block 'Keystone XL Pipeline' Trucks in Six-Hour Standoff

"Five Lakotas on Pine Ridge Indian land in South Dakota were arrested Monday after attempting to block two tarsands pipeline trucks from entering their land. According to the Lakota activist the six-hour standoff started when the trucks refused to turn around claiming they had "corporate rights that supersede any other law."

According to the Rapid City Journal "several dozens" of American Indians were part of the blockade but a community journalist reports only five people were arrested."

Corporate rights that supersede any other law.

FUCK everything and everyone. You strip us of EVERYTHING and give us tiny parcels of land AFTER we have to fight you to get you to recognize a treaty that YOU MADE WITH US, and after all that?

LOL, THAT DON'T COUNT WHEN WE WANT THE LAND! CORPORATIONS RULE!

Please spread the word, everyone. This is important.
