Whoever wields the most power is most responsible, and mistakes/fatal error were made by all involved in the second battle at Wounded Knee 2, and continued to be ongoing. There were many who pulled the trigger that caused the death of the 2 agents, all inclusive and especially what and who led up to these deaths… all are responsible for these deaths – and should not be the pay back by one individual as the responsible party. It is probably the arguing principal for “collateral damage” kind of thing. There were a number of deaths related to this battle, as well as injury, disappearance,murder as well as a cornucopia of false information, and keeping Peltier in prison or putting him there in the first place doesn’t change this. But it is worse case scenario, by making Leonard the issue instead of recognizing what the core dynamics/truths that manifested this uprising and continued struggle in the first place. It is an american panacea that puts people in prison to pretend that takes care of a “problem”. Leonard Peltier, no matter his personality does not deserve the LIVING DEATH SENTENCE of life in prison, no parole, for this crime committed by many. He does not. It is simply true that Mr. Peltier DID NOT receive a fair trial. His trial helped set a stage for the contemporary demise of our justice system. This continues to contribute to the loss of other personal freedoms because this part of our country’s history IS governments persecution of it’s citizens, which government wants to amend by the imprisonment of one man. The more things stay the same with Manning, Assange, Snowden, Swartz(rip)… or ‘bad guys’ Hussein, Bin Laden,McVeigh, etc…
Peltier was/remains victim of time and place and much much much more. He was/is on the side of the people and that is who we have to listen to… is the people, not government or media telling us about the people. We have to take the real side of the real people not the governments side right? btw, Peltier has some good company on his side, speaking of people.
Did he do it? Personally, I think not, seems to be a finely designed agenda for a scapegoat that I continue to see replayed today. To me, one persons guilt is not the issue here – there is more. It is way past time to release Mr. Peltier for a healing that this country is in desperate need of, and time for a different way of doing/thinking things.

I invited a bunch of my FF to like Muslim Advocates page on Facbook and one of my Female FF whom I assume based on her response which was I'm not Muslim FYI, that she got something against Islam. I replied that I was just sharing the news that this group helped to combat police state activities spying on Muslims in NYC, her response was I'm not from NYC and that's not for me and all this other guilty actin stuff. So I just showed her the case that was appealed and let it go, ...she writes back honor my wishes and then blocks me. Now all of that would not have affected me so much if this person did not refer to themselves as a spiritual person. My point is a lot of these so called black power spiritual kabala stone vibration people worship themselves too much. So when 'I saw this Leonard Peltier quote I was like that's real our world needs more real compassion. People phony trying to make money off stone vibrations. Muslims could be your best customers you just can't sale us idle worship that go with they pitch.
I am honored by your words Too many times today people are 2 face Looking to see what they can get from you Sadly it is the same for Leonard There are many groups,pages that do more harm then good Seeking only fame,glory,or riches off his name What we do for Leonard is approved by ILPDC We take our fair share of shots from folks But we continue I myself have fought against his imprisonment now near 40 years And yes the world is surely in need of more compassion We ALL must remember,We shall survive as one or we shall perish as one Pilamayaye/Thanks ~Myoglasi~
Your people have the greatest gifts of heritage, wisdom and knowledge. There are people outside of your nation that understand this and appreciate the value of these things.
It is a travesty that those who come into your country often enjoy rights that you are denied.
