Sheriffs Dept Demands ACE Hardware Stop Selling Heating Supplies to Water Protectors, ACE CompliesBy Claire Bernish In other words, law enforcement has effectively quashed the sale of potentially life-saving supplies to those encamped at Standing Rock as bitter winter conditions grip the Oceti Sakowin and other camps. selfnews and live-streamer, Kevin Gilbertt, whose video of a police offensive against water protectors on Highway 1806s Backwater Bridge went viral and exposed barbarous police tactics, received by email a letter defining ACE Hardwares sudden change in policy with a contact phone number. Just wanted to check on a policy that Id heard about, to make sure [of] the truth of this policy, he asks the ACE Hardware contact, Camillia, as he recorded the phone conversation. Ive been informed that in the area around the pipeline in North Dakota, ACE Hardware were no longer able to sell anything considered incendiary, including propane. Can you confirm that as being true? That is true, ACE Hardware stores in the vicinity of the recent pipeline protests have been requested by law enforcement officials to refrain from selling materials that could be used as incendiary devices; so ACEs number one priority is to protect the safety of its employees, customers, and the communities each store serves ACE will continue to cooperate with law enforcement officials. ACEs compliance is not a reflection of any corporate viewpoint on the actual pipeline project, Camillia states. Local law enforcement officials have apparently taken it upon themselves to determine precisely how North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymples recent emergency, mandatory evacuation should be interpreted. On Tuesday, the Morton County Sheriffs Department first announced plans for a blockade on incoming supplies including food to the Standing Rock Sioux water protectors and their thousands of supporters camped near Cannon Ball. Although the governors office quickly reversed those plans, announcing there would be no such blockade, the sheriffs department modified blocking the delivery of supplies by stating it would issue fines of $1,000 to anyone attempting to deliver needed equipment to Standing Rock. Dalrymples emergency evacuation order came as a winter storm began to grip the area but it has been unclear whether it or an eviction order for December 5, issued by the Army Corps of Engineers has standing authority. Thwarted by the governor, ACE Hardwares sudden reversal of policy appears to be the sheriffs next step in attempting to clear the camps of water protectors but their vow to stay out the bitter North Dakota winter means a companys refusal to sell necessary heating equipment could be asking for tragedy. Per the letter Gilbertt received from ACE Hardware: Hello Dr.Scott Litch, Thank you for contacting the Ace Care Center. If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us and refer to incident 2529138. Have a great day! Sincerely, Camillia H. | Ace Care Center (888) 827-4223 Helpful is our Business Caring is our Commitment Although that email and phone call were only one confirmation, other callers contacted ACE Hardwares corporate headquarters for confirmation. In the following video, beginning around the 15:20 mark, you will hear the companys headquarters, indeed, confirm the original account of compliance with local law enforcement demands: This effort to deny water protectors fundamentally necessary supplies as temperatures dip well below the freezing mark is a clear violation of human rights, a dismissal of law, and a tangible danger to human life. Among those camped are tribal elders, the elderly, young children, pregnant women, newborn babies, and others. Arbitrarily depriving them of a needed heat source is a direct threat to life. Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier has claimed water protectors used propane tanks to improvise explosives during the conflict with police on November 20 but no evidence, other than highly suspect pictures with no context, has ever been produced by his office. This is a developing story and will be updated if and when further information is made available. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Where are the veterans with access to helicopters? Airlift these guys supplies! This sheriff governor need to be jailed. ACE is bucking for A NATION WIDE BOYCOTT ! If the pro pipeline peeps had met with the protestors to ensure water safety, this would not be happening. As for this is the companies proptery that they can do what ever they want with it that is completely false. It their operation will put a large number of the Peoples water quality in jeopardy, they cannot do it. Its called Do no harm!!! We need to charge the Governor, the Sheriff, all the officers responsible and the pipeline execs with child abuse, abuse of the elderly, attempted murder, denial of protected rights, aggravated assault and battery and those just for starters. Then we need to hang the lot of them by their wrists higher than Haman while in their skivvies and spray them with a fire hose continuously for several hours. See how those bastards like it. Yet theres no orders to stop suppliers selling materials to build mosques that are used as terrorist cell HQs. We are in the midst of an internal war being waged against citizens for the nefarious purpose of bringing down the republic. #2529138 Boycott General Strike of ACE called for via Fake News visitors. Nation responds via boycotting ACE hardware. Buy from Tractor Supply, Harbor Freight, Hardmans, any other hardware supply store except ACE. Yes, we understand they are not making a political statement regarding their position of the pipeline. Acting in a manner that causes people harm is a statement in and of itself, ACE hardware is choosing hate over love. They and all others will soon witness the manifesting of love being victorious. Choose hate and death for your business, youll have no business when those choosing love and life see you doing so. Finish the pipeline, stop the Indian / environmental protestor bullshit. They had years to state their issues and they were taken in account. With over 100,000 miles of pipline in the USA, very little problems, especially with new ones with additional sensors, remote alerts, and automatic shutdowns. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/587e41ee2f126349d5d30b005072b7d08adab1aa62f8477eb21963fcc6c4b78f.jpg Your comment shows just WHO the LOSER is~ https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/428e57a885062baefc001f33ec8c3e920278c41342acead45738153f081e2e35.jpg
