Arrest Warrant Issued for Amy Goodman in North Dakota After Covering Pipeline Protest

[OffensivelyOpenMinded]

Arresting Amy Goodman will keep the story going and provide publicity for the Indian cause.

Nobody cares about that old hippy.

 

[Picaro]

The public hearings on this pipeline were widely advertised, yet these clown circus bozos couldn't be bothered to attend and air their sniveling and whining when it mattered. Too bad.

While I can understand your radical right-wing opposition to some of the organizations Goodman and her radical left-wing counterparts support, what is it you have against the above entities I've highlighted?

The purpose of my question is to show that all of Goodman's activities are not negative but serve very worthwhile purposes. While I am not a committed fan of Amy Goodman I do agree with some of her efforts and I generally oppose tossing out the baby with the bath-water.

It's not an 'opinion', it's an easily demonstrable fact.

Then demonstrate it!

All you've done is express your home-cooked opinion. There is nothing in anything I've read on this subject to support what you're putting forth here.

This issue has been going on since July and as far as I can determine there has been no conclusive legal decisions handed down as yet. So there is no truth to your assertions.

Actually I do know it to be true; it's even in the OP story.

No, it isn't. It exists so strongly in your imagination you've come to believe it. It's called delusion.

Nobody cares about that old hippy.

Someone obviously cares enough to want her arrested in an attempt to silence her but such lunacy will only create support for her and the Indian cause.

Glad to see P F Tinmore was able to turn you on to this issue

The issue is that today I read that the N Dakota AG said the pipeline wasn't crossing Indians burial grounds and will proceed as planned. Things could change 'cause you never know what bullcrap the tree huggers will come up with next.

Yeah... fuck Native Americans and trees......

You mean Indians. I'm a native American as I was born and reside in the US.
Word fascists need to be called out.

Actually, the word "Indians" comes from Christopher Columbus, when he first saw them and referred to them as "indios" (meaning in god's way as they were naked). It just got corrupted by Europeans as they came in. A more accurate description would be by their tribal (Lakhota, Cheyenne, et cetera) name or individual given names.

I'm aware. I'm referring to American culture and tradition. The 'Native American' bullshit is a fascist censorship play.

We call ourselves Indians and laugh at Native American.

Amy Goodman is a moron

He called em indians because he thought he'd found a new passage to India ya moron.

Amy Goodman, host and executive producer for Democracy Now, has been criminally charged for documenting attacks on indigenous protesters.

No, she was charged for criminal trespass, not for covering the protest.

Amazingly, you have sunk to a new level of stupid.

How so?

So it is illegal for a journalist to cover an event?

If they trespass while they do it yes.

Unamazingly, you do the old libtard trick of simply ignoring inconvenient facts.

The woman was arrested for CRIMINAL TRESPASS, not for covering the march, doofus.

Nah, the assholes in the government just pull that crap to keep their rich friends from getting embarrassing news coverage.

It is the job of the free press to inform the people what is going on.

You mean like how they are informing the public about hillarys illness? Those kind of going on's? Or are those different going on's?

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

The protesters need to bring machetes for when the guards next bring out the dogs. When the dogs attack, chop up the dogs.

wow, what a fucking lowlife.

Hey. A dog attacks you, you have a right to defend yourself. Violence begets violence.

Not when you're trespassing.

if you are committing the crime of trespass, you have forfeited your right to life.

the owner, his guards and dogs, have every right to kill you, while you have no right to defend yourself.

your nominal grasp of the law is astounding.

Actually, no they don't. Standing on someone's property in violation of the owners wishes, is a misdemeanor crime and definitely not grounds for using violence against the violator. Using violence against a trespasser is actually grounds for being arrested and incarcerated (for a much longer period than the trespasser's misdemeanor).

Violent trespassers can be shot.

Nobody cares about the Indian protest either. Don't you know it has to be a black protest to get any consideration nowadays?

I got nothing. JimBowie1958 is an upstanding individual, a gentleman and a scholar. He is absolutely correct, Goodman was charged with trespass. Just part of the job I guess, she got the story.

Of course 'all' of leftist aims are not negative....

....but they are anti-America and anti-American values.

Instead of picking one or two minor....minor....and materialist endeavors, consider the heart of every Leftist iteration....

They are totalitarian, and have the same aims as every failed attempt before: communism, nazism, fascism,....


Consider this: American values are individualism, limited constitutional government, and free markets.


None of the three mentioned above endorse any......not single one....of those values.


Nor do socialism, Liberalism nor Progressivism.

Amy Goodman and her ilk...Soros, Obama, Bill's wife, are all for totalist big government, unlimited by the Constitution nor any individual's rights or interests.


Your's was a good question. I home mine was a good answer.

Amy Goodman, host and executive producer for Democracy Now, has been criminally charged for documenting attacks on indigenous protesters.

Goodman was charged with criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor offense. A team from Democracy Now! was in North Dakota last week to cover the Native American-led protests against the Dakota Access pipeline.

On Sept. 3, Democracy Now! filmed security guards working for the Dakota Access pipeline company using dogs and pepper spray to attack protesters. Democracy Now!’s report went viral online and was rebroadcast on many outlets, including CBS, NBC, NPR, CNN, MSNBC and Huffington Post.

One of her reports:

They did the same thing to a Bundy reporter and had to drop the charges.

 

[P F Tinmore]

Amy Goodman isn't a 'journalist', she's just another tabloid hack serving herself and indulging in self-promotion as usual. I guess she got bored for a little while and is taking a break from supporting terrorism and peddling genocide against Israelis, her usual fare, and is out advertising herself again; must be a drop in 'donations' and 'grants' for her media business. Just another millionaire 'radical' scamming the muppets for personal gain, that's all. Living in 'Progressive' cities like she does costs big bucks, and no nasty little proles need apply.

Whether you like it or not, Goodman is a well recognized journalist and author. She holds accredited Press credentials.

'Well recognized' by vermin like CAIR, and as we've seen by now without a doubt neither she nor the majority of those who 'accredit credentials' are genuine journalists, they're shills and hacks and spin doctors, whether you like it or not. They have all the credibility of a writer for The National Enquirer.

That fits the MSM better.

Why thank you.

I wish I could honestly return the compliment, but thanks all the same.
