WATCH: Nevada Tribal Ranger Plows Through Activists’ Highway Protest
AWR HAWKINS
Video shows a Nevada Tribal Ranger plowing through an Extinction Rebellion protest that was blocking highway traffic and causing a miles-long backup.The Daily Mail reported that the protesters could be heard saying, “We’re non-violent” as the Ranger from the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal Police Department of Nevada drove through.
The Ranger then circled back, exited his vehicle with gun drawn and began making arrests. Protesters can be heard crying on the video.
The Rangers arrested the protesters for “trespassing on tribal land.”

No Score.
Don’t miss the video.
A King, by disallowing Acts of this salutary nature, from being the father of his people, degenerated into a Tyrant and forfeits all rights to his subjects’ obedience.

I watched and made comment on another site.
I’ll transfer those comments to here later when I’m on a real computer. (Kindles don’t count)
Here’s my earlier post from the other site;
Being a retired military NCO, I’m a more direct kind of guy.
(especially when you deal with CDATs and grunts)
There’s no sense in trying to talk sense to these envirowackos (EWs).
I would have sought out the guy with the biggest, high rise, 4WD, pick-em-up, and ask if he had chains or a tow strap.
Then ask for several big, brawny, burly guys to help keep the EWs out of the way, attach the chain/strap to the trailer, then pull the trailer (and all the connected trash) way off the road and into the desert.
And if it looks like the EWs are going to drag the trailer back
to the road, then flatten the tires.
And to all the whiners “we’re attached”, well, you’d better detach quick.
You made this choice on your own. Take responsibility for your consequences.
Sorry for the rant PC, but these EWs just get on my last raw nerve, being the instigators, but playing the victim. And all the people being held up in traffic trying to talk sense. Pffftttt. The time for talk is past. It’s time for action. The only way these EWs will stop is when they get hurt.

(con’t from previous)
Oh, forgot to add……
These EWs want to talk “democracy”?
Well, there are several hundred cars,
with drivers and passengers.
And there’s only maybe a dozen of you.
You’re outvoted, majority rules.
Now MOVE!
The Breitbart clip is the short “Cliff Notes” version.
Here’s the longer 15 minute video.
The first 10 minutes or so are enough to make your blood boil.
The last approximately 5 minutes are satisfying…..aaahhhhh.

Oh, and to the protestors that want to “Keep It In The Ground”….be careful what you wish for. You may be next.
Welcome to the reservation!
Were your laws and feelings don’t matter.
“We’re nonviolent!” was far less respect-gaining than they anticipated.
Go figure.
I could watch that all day!
Tribal police are kind of like Texas Rangers. Too few of them with too many problems to deal with. If they ever focus their attention on you, just go with it and sort it out later.
No score? My friends, that is a grand slam! This feel good story truly warms my heart.
Bwaahahahahahahahahahagaspgasphahahahahahahaha A very good example of how it’s done. Built Ford tuff!? Ifeel that we will see more and more of this type action. People are getting fed up with the BS.
Mr. Henry, our (s)elected officials are doing everything they can to make us subjects instead of citizens. I fully intend to disobey. Prepare
“where not a lot of moving around is required and the shooting is done from a fixed, stable positions.” And I gots just the place for that.
My only regret is that the Tribal Police were too nice to those folks.
Anyone else notice that the EW’s all seem to be college age monied spoiled brats? The chicks were cute but way to cray-cray for any but IDC-SARC
They thought they’d have allies among the “Noble Savages”.
Right.
When you enter the Rez you are no longer technically in the United States; you’re on Sovereign Territory of whatever Tribe happens to hold the title to that land. They have their own laws, their own police, their own government. If they don’t want you there, they will not ASK you to leave, they will MAKE you leave. If you bring your gripes onto their land, they will make you take your gripes OFF their land.
The Tribes still have power in this country. Whenever I went onto a Reservation here in Minnesota, I went on with respect, treated the residents with respect, and received nothing but respect in return. If they had ever wanted me to leave I would have left a carton of cigarettes and left on a friendly note.
Exactly how it should be. I’m not Woke, and my ancestors were probably among those who pushed the Natives onto reservations, having arrived in 1600s, but I think that what little territory they still hold should be theirs and theirs alone. As Big White Man, I have no say in how they enforce law and order or manage their land, so long as nothing morally reprehensible is going on (trafficking of any sort, etc.). We don’t hear much about that happening on tribal land, though I understand there’s a constant battle with drugs, much like anywhere else nowadays.
The Tyrants that Mr. Henry was speaking of…

If you need some lolz:
Divide, Colorado is a picturesque town high in the Rocky Mountains on the north slope of Pike’s Peak, population 143.
For years locals have made a habit of electing dogs and cats as mayor.
It was a big upset in 2014, for example, when a search & rescue bloodhound named Pa Kettle beat Herbie the donkey, Gracie the mustang, and Blackberry the hedgehog, to become mayor that year.
Before that, Walter the Cat had been Mayor of the town.
But citizens went a different direction in the mid-2020s, forgoing their usual animal choices and instead electing inanimate objects. First it was the mayor ‘Harvey Hamm’ in 2026, a ham sandwich that had been prepared by a local eatery. Then in last year’s 2028 election, voters chose a local fir tree located in the town square.
But unlike past elections, 2028’s was quite contentious.
Over 200 votes were cast in the town of 143. Local election officials said there were a number of mail-in ballots from out-of-town residents. But, suspecting some irregularities, many Harvey Hamm supporters challenged the election results.
This challenge escalated into a back-and-forth with the local press slamming Harvey Hamm supporters as “conspiracy theorists” and a “threat to democracy”.
In the end, the fir tree was sworn in as Mayor.
But Teller County’s prosecutor wasn’t willing to let the matter go.
After an eight month investigation at taxpayer expense, prosecutors have filed RICO charges (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) against three local Harvey Hamm supporters, as well as the former Mayor Harvey Hamm itself.
The famous words of Federal Judge Sol Wachtler have become prophetic: a district attorney has finally persuaded a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.
