To attack me personally doesn ' t get us anywhere . Speak for yourself . It got me somewhere . If you only watched 10 minutes of around my 2 hours of analysis , you don ' t really have a good handle on my argument , do you ? I am working on cutting things down . Cut it down to something even remotely rational and I ' m happy to engage your arguments . Or just write them , for the love of god . You can ' t expect people to listen to something that long , especially when it isn ' t moving at any particular pace . You claim I fill in the holes , but I actually don ' t . It ' s hard to see , but if you watch the video , you can actually see the protester charging the construction worker . You don ' t see it , and as you talked about it in the video , you even said something along the lines of How did the protester get over there ? aka you did not see the protester get over there . If it was in the video , maybe that ' s the part you should have been freezeframing and trying to make clear for the viewer . You didn ' t . You froze the frame on the worker pinning the protester down . False analogy . The protesters are not merely sitting there , they are doing things like attacking police . Stop right there . There are allegations of a couple of such incidents , and some of them were already found to be complete horseshit , such as the woman firing the gun at security NOT police , so please stop calling them that . The vast and overwhelming majority of the people are peacefully protesting . It ' s a perfect analogy . You can see in the video that you referenced of David talking about this that the hoses were indiscriminately applied . That ' s aside from the fact that hosing people isn ' t a legitimate method of crowd dispersal , but a sort of torture . Again , you ' re cherrypicking and that ' s being generous , as some of your cherrypicked instances are completely unproven certain allegations , using them to color the entire protest , and then saying See , they ' re all violent , this is just selfdefense . You ' re a dumb guy , but I know you ' re not that incredibly dumb that you can ' t make these clear distinctions . Imagine if the government offered to pay you $ 1 , 000 to run a cable through your backyard , and you said no . Then imagine if they go around your backyard to your neighbors yard . You would be in the wrong to then run onto your neighbor ' s yard to protest the cable and stop construction . THERE is your false analogy . These people are in their own backyards , and there is no mention in your analogy of the fact that the cable company is trying to lay down wire so quickly that anyone pointing out that they didn ' t obtain the proper permit to do so would be too late to do anything about it . All have the potential to spill and contaminate the drinking water even though the DAPL was given a permit and determined not to be a huge threat . My sink and the fire hydrant in front of my house both have potential to leak . One of them will leak a lot more fucking water and cause a lot more damage if left unattended , or if they spring a significant leak . As I said , all pipes are not alike . I know , mind blown , right ? Not necessarily , although it does speak to an argument about safety of clean drinking water . If this is such an issue , they should develop a backup water source plan as it is already at risk . I don ' t know , maybe do some research instead of pulling facts straight from your asshole . I have ideas , but no concrete answer , as I ' m not a protester . Someone who was interested though , should find out first instead of just assuming that everyone is an idiot except them . Except when that interested party has a habit of making themselves look like the biggest idiot in the room almost every time they open their mouths . Maybe you should watch more than 10 minutes of my video before making declarations like this . You ' re babbling in there , meandering , and not really making a single valid point in those ten minutes . And there was no end in sight . We already touched on this . Your video isn ' t fit for consumption . Make on that is and I ' ll be happy to consider what you present in it with an open mind . Sure . They want Obama to send Federal agencies to help police the protester situation . I should have been more specific . I asked you to explain the letter but I didn ' t ask you to read it first . You seem to have skipped that step . Let me help you out here . We call on you again to direct the Army Corps of Engineers Army Corps to approve , without further delay , the final federal easement for the Lake Oahe crossing of the Dakota Access PipelineKey word there approve . They ' re asking him to persuade the Army Corps to approve the final easement . aka the easement is not currently approved by the necessary agency . Yet the work is continuing . On that basis do you think the workers should now be hosed down with freezing water ?
