Someone Just Donated $2.5 Million to Bail Out Everyone Arrested at Standing RockBy Nick Bernabe The news came after Tamara Francis-Fourkiller, a tribal leader from the Caddo Nation tribe in Caddo County, Oklahoma, was arrested at Standing Rock. Francis-Fourkiller was released after spending two days in jail, but her family says she was just an innocent observer in the clashes between militarized law enforcement and Native American activists, or water protectors. [UPDATE 11/1 4:35 pm EST:A statement fromRed Owl Legal Collective/National Lawyers Guild that is advising Standing Rock has issued a statement saying the $2.5 million has not been received yet. We are waiting on confirmation from the Caddo Nation tribe.] According to local news affiliate News On 6: Family members of Caddo Nation chairwoman Tamara Francis-Fourkiller said an anonymous donor paid $2.5 million late Saturday afternoon to release everyone arrested on Thursday at the Dakota Access Pipeline site. They said, however, that Francis-Fourkiller should not have been arrested in the first place. Though the donor who sent the $2.5 million remains anonymous, it appears the person is connected to the Caddo Nation tribe in some way . News9.com Oklahoma City, OK News, Weather, Video and Sports | The anonymous donation is welcome news to those arrested in the mass crackdown last Thursday; however, Standing Rock is still raising legal defense funds for future arrests which are all but guaranteed to happen.

[sniff-sniff] I smell something fishy. I was thinking the same. Everything has started to feel like a controlled opposition thing. Maybe theyre just focusing our eyes away from Syria and any executive orders being made. Smells fishy indeed. Blessed are the protectors for they are the shield of wisdom. It is so re-dick-u-las. The fascist never tire of pushing the indigents around. This is not true. Smells like a psyop to dissuade people from donating Bless this kindness and the kind Donor behind it. Thank you. Maybe its CNN and Fox News etc I am sure they could recover their costs with their advertising. Probably some local Indian casino donated the money. I hear theres money in the Indian casino business
