Corps gives eviction notice to protest camp and sets up free speech zone

in #news7 years ago

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has set a deadline of Dec. 5 for those living in the Oceti Sakowin protest camp to vacate the corps-owned land. Anyone remaining after that date will be subject to trespassing charges.

In an email sent Friday to Standing Rock Sioux Chairman Dave Archambault II, Col. John Henderson, Omaha district commander, said the corps is establishing a free speech zone on the south side of the Cannonball River; but the main overflow camp on the north side must be disbanded.

"Our tribe is deeply disappointed in this decision by the United States, but our resolve to protect our water is stronger than ever," said Archambault, who is asking pipeline opponents to continue to fight the pipeline's permitting process.

"Looks like the Feds are going to be getting involved after Dec 5th when no one leaves. As for the free speech zone the Army Corps can go fuck itself. No one is going to follow that unconstitutional 'request' and I think the Feds set up these zones only to antagonize the protesters."

Sort:  

so the GOV, the reps of the people, operating under the LAW of the constitution, see the BILL of RIGHTS, will claim that the owners of the LAND of the FREE to SPEAK people, are not allowed to 'camp' on their own land?

It's Army Corps land which means it's federal property aka public land.

Free speech areas? What's next? Non-slave areas?

Here is an area where the 13th amendment doesn't apply. If you want to have your rights, please stay in the appropriate areas.
