[quote:Anonymous Coward 48542327:MV8yMzg2NTU2XzQwODU5ODEzXzgyMzY0NTY=] [quote:green_girl:MV8yMzg2NTU2XzQwODU5NzM2XzQxMjNCNTY2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 48542327:MV8yMzg2NTU2XzQwODU5Njk2X0JBMEUzN0RC] [quote:green_girl:MV8yMzg2NTU2XzQwODU5NjIwX0IwOTk0QjI1] Bumping with updates. The situation is becoming out of hand in NB. It has escalated, with more people joining the "peacefull" protest. Police are running out of patience on this one. Here is a fb link to a video : https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10153353274385387&set=vb.577780386&type=2&theater Personally, while i am against the fracking, i think the natives are shooting themselves in the foot. They have turned this into a race war, and now no one can focus on the real issue. The youth are getting into the officer's faces, foul mouthed and confrontational, then crying on facebook about the fact that the cops have guns aimed at them. This is not going to end well. [/quote] When people are poisoning your home, you do whatever you can. You fight, you fight, you fight. You said it yourself, people give up too soon. This may not be the most ideal way for them to stand up for themselves, but they are standing up for themselves. Either die trying to stop it or slowly, poisoned by your own complacency. I could have guessed it would be the Natives to stand up first. [/quote] i completely agree with you. I am not saying they are not risking their lives for a very good cause, and if fracking comes to my town i would be grateful for people trying to stop it. I just mean that because of their actions, no one is even talking about fracking. it is now a racial fight. no one is even talking about fracking anymore. now all of facebook is going on about police brutality. the real issue is lost, and i fear that means the fight will be too. [/quote] Very true, but I don't feel that that is the agenda they are pushing, most likely the media. They are happy to distract from real causes. Remember the occupy movement and how the media kept claiming the protesters didn't know what they wanted? Just help keep it on topic by acknowledging what they are really fighting for! [/quote]

Not sure they are going about this the right way at all, but they refuse to be removed, and they refuse to let it happen in their part of the world. Right? Wrong??
