Nick Tilsen of Porcupine, SD, was reportedly charged with second-degree robbery and simple assault for allegedly taking a riot shield from a law enforcement officer and allegedly assaulting a law enforcement officer. He has also been charged with three misdemeanors related to blocking the highway leading to the monument.

Tilsen, a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe has been charged with impeding a highway, unlawful assembly, and disorderly conduct for his actions intended on disrupting President Trump’s visit to the monument. If convicted the charges could amount to 12 years in prison.

He is being charged in the role he played to help organize 150 protestors on the highway that blocked the road leading to Mt. Rushmore. The protestors stood in a line and parked vans in a manner to stop all traffic headed to the monument.

Tilsen has stated that he does not want the faces of “colonizers who have committed genocide on Indigenous people” carved into his tribe’s sacred land and believes that Mt. Rushmore is a “symbol of white supremacy and racial injustice in this country”.

His father reportedly believes that his son was targeted because he is a leader in his community. Tilsen was arrested with 14 other members of the protest and released after being bonded for $2,000.

try to shut down the main artery to Mt. Rushmore or anywhere else get 10 years jail time and throw away the key.  Set an example for others that this poo will not be tolerated any longer. 

Rioters in Madison WI blocked a few months back the main artery beltline in that town for traffic standing in the middle of 3 lanes of rush hour traffic both ways.  They be darn lucky was further east of where I have to go onto the beltline only 3-4 miles is all otherwise they might be run over by someone I know?   Roll Eyes  either in my truck, car, Valk or scooter..... Evil

am so sick of this stuff hearing about it everyday on the news really getting under my skin.  If not the kung flu, is the BLM and how the whites are so priviledged, yah right?   uglystupid2  I admit I lost it once in Walmart getting out of the store making a small pissing match once.  The rules they have are idiotic and dumb.

Starting on MOnday all of DANE county (mostly Madison WI) anywhere you go is REQUIRED TO WEAR A MASK inside any store.  I just am lucky I live in 1 county south being Green County and for another 1 month or more still working from home vs. in Madison WI.   If you gave me a FREE HOME worth 250-300K in Madison,  I would put it on the market and sell it NEVER would live in that yuppie town.  Angry

About time.....its the only way to stop these riots.   Yes riots.     When you attack a police officer who is trying to maintain peace you become a rioter.   More of this needs to happen.
