North Dakota pipeline: US journalist Amy Goodman faces riot charge

[BBC] US journalist Amy Goodman

...the far left Air America reporter and and a former member of the Friends of Cindy Sheehan club...

is facing charges of participating in a "riot" after filming Native American-led protests over an oil pipeline in North Dakota.

The Democracy Now! reporter said she would surrender to authorities on Monday in response to the charge.

District Judge John Grinsteiner will decide whether there is sufficient evidence to support the riot charge.

Ms Goodman filmed the crackdown on protesters by authorities last month.

"I wasn't trespassing, I wasn't engaging in a riot, I was doing my job as a journalist by covering a violent attack on Native American protesters," Ms Goodman said.

#3 Gurls with dawgs. Always iffy, you can't kick the yappers into next week, the good shy ones are hiding and the goons are sniffing your ballz and checking for ammonia and you can't dart either on the first date.

#4 Will the pipeline cross indian land? Or are they afraid it'll pollute their water from some distance away?

Or are they just useful idiots paid off with Russian/Saudi money?
