1. For standing up to support the Sioux.

Something our Democratic nominee ought to be doing.

[MohRokTah]

2. No, for making a mockery of what the Lakota stand for.

She vandalized the equipment, something nobody involved in the real demonstration would have ever considered doing because of how bad it would make the protest look.

4. Vandalized equipment by

painting "this message approved by Jill Stein" on it. She was doing a campaign ad. As much as I don't want to see this pipeline go through, she did no good with this stunt. Certainly does not make me change my opinion of her.

[joshcryer]

12. Exactly. It was purely for the photo OP.

3. What she did

was as wrong as the anarchist-like intruders at a peaceful protest starting a riot. Not smart or appropriate, it was more like she was trying to ensure that the protest would get a bad rap. She's a pretty dim bulb.

6. Yes, spray painting a protest message

and inciting a riot are comparable actions. I'm sure everyone would agree with that.

[2naSalit]

8. I'm sure you wouldn't "get it"

whether I spray painted it on your forehead or not. I hope she gets arrested. It was stupid and careless and an a slap in the face of the actual protest. I hope she's arrested and at the very least pays a fine.

7. I agree!

What is happening is really important and Dr. Stein helped to draw attention to the protest. It would be great if others spoke in support against the pipeline!

9. No way...the future commander in chief should not break the law.

jill Stein is not a serious candiate.

[truebluegreen]

13. I read it as getting in some "good trouble"

as others have before her, and many more should.

[truebluegreen]

14. Btw "Commander in chief" is not a synonym for "president"

[joshcryer]

11. Total photo op activism.

She's done literally nothing productive here.

[Wilms]

5. I'm glad they're going after her!

It brings more attention to the situation.

And it's spray paint on bulldozer's shovel. Not a crisis. The worst part is that it's spray paint. That's not green.

10. Damn - she better win so she can defer her trial for 4 years.
