Charges Dropped Against Amy Goodman

First they hit her with criminal trespass charges, then changed it to participating in a riot.

Now the charges are dropped altogether. As you knew they would be. A judge with some sense refused to accept the charges for the State of North Dakota. And they had no case in the first place. Just makes them look like the asses they are.  I have a feeling the numbskills who charged her didn't realize who she is.




But what about people without the notoriety and cash backing that Amy has?

In case you missed the video Amy filed from the protest, it's here.  And it's vicious.

Here's her and her attorneys' statements in front of the Native Americans protesting the pipeline:



As you watch, notice the size of the gathered group and the size of the police lined up in the background.  The lawsuit may have failed, but the intimidation is still front and center.

UPDATE:  Not content, the prosecutor is digging a deeper hole for himself.
