Is Amy headed for hard time?

"The North Dakota Access Pipeline, also called the Bakken pipeline, is planned to pipe fracked oil across four states, and has become a source of major contention between the government, the corporation, and environmentalists and Native Americans, who assert that it endangers their tribal lands and heritage.

"In July, the Standing Rock Sioux tribe sued the Army Corps of Engineers over the permits granted to the developer, which put a construction site a half a mile upstream of the tribe’s reservation boundary.

"The tribe says that a spill from the site would be culturally and economically catastrophic, and that it endangers sacred sites and their drinking water.

"On Friday, a federal court issued an unexpected order to halt construction near the North Dakota site."

It's funny to watch the hardline commies get all swoony over the protest there.

They seem to miss the part where the Indians are OBJECTING to federal control of resources. Whadda buncha morons.

Are the dogs police dogs?

No. Private Security Agency dogs.

Criminal means criminal and she will have to endure a criminal trial and then possibly endure a civil trial to assess damages. I know Obama shut down the pipeline before it was built that started this new mess.

Criminal trespass means to trespass on private property for unlawful purpose. Goodman is an accredited journalist. Her purpose for trespassing was reportage, which is protected by the First Amendment. The "criminal" trespass charge will be dismissed. If the private interest encouraging prosecution of Goodman insists on enforcing a misdemeanor trespass complaint they will be asking for the kind of publicity they don't need.

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.

 

[MikeK]

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.

The substance of a trespass complaint is broadly flexible. Its level of severity depends entirely on the trespasser's purpose.

Goodman did not enter onto that private property to steal or to do harm. Her purpose there was as legitimate and excusable as it gets. She is a journalist and her purpose there was reportage. Nothing else. The most punishment she can expect from any court will be minimally nominal.

Are you interested in the legal nature of this issue or only your opinion of it? If it's the latter, then sail on.

there is no 'legal nature' here, just some shakedown and fake 'outrage' that will promptly go away when either the Feds or the pipeline company whispers a number in some 'activist leader's ' ear large enough to make them go away. The pipeline isn't on Sioux property, and they have squat to say about it. End of story.

Are you suggesting that any and all federal controls of resources are holy and immune to protest? Please don't forget that we live in a democracy and what we are seeing is what seems to be a legitimate grievance against both government and a corporate interest the government seems to be favoring.

I think we all need to know a lot more about this before making any judgments.

. Her purpose there was as legitimate and excusable as it gets. She is a journalist and her purpose there was reportage. Nothing else. .

Drivel. She was there to insert herself into and become 'the story', not cover it. She isn't a real journalist, and never has been. She was there to advertise her brand.

It's not the end of the story because someone has said the Indians have no grievance. I don't know that to be true and neither do you. What I do know is a major issue has arisen and I'd like to learn more about it from a credible source before deciding the corporate interests are legally correct.

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

The protesters need to bring machetes to a gunfight,

her purpose was to be part of the protest and make a profit for herself.

she's not a journalist, real journalist don't make the news they report it.

It's not an 'opinion', it's an easily demonstrable fact. You don't know the difference, so naturally you're just confused.

 

[Picaro]

I don't know that to be true and neither do you.

Actually I do know it to be true; it's even in the OP story. And you're right, you don't know what you're talking about, and think that means nobody else does.

What I do know is a major issue has arisen and I'd like to learn more about it from a credible source before deciding the corporate interests are legally correct.

lol clueless, you're completely clueless. you don't have the ability to know what a 'credible source' is, by your own admission.
