Thread Name: BS: Petition to Free Leonard Peltier
Subject: RE: BS: Petition to Free Leonard Peltier
You tell me, gnu, why Leonard Peltier has not been freed? You tell me why the FBI tried to get 'In The Spirit of Crazy Horse' banned, which again, is filled with evidence supporting his innocence? You tell me why they put huge pressure on Bill Clinton, threatening to take to the streets, when Clinton was about to release him? You tell me why, even to this day, Leonard is denied parole? You tell me why he is, at this moment in time, denied access to testing his blood sugar, despite being diabetic? You tell me why he is being denied visits from family, from lawyers, due to the new set of hoops Coleman Prison has thrown down? You tell me why Myrtle Poor Bear was NOT allowed to give evidence, telling the court how she was forced into saying she knew Leonard Peltier, saw him fire the gun? You tell me why the FBI suppressed so much evidence that would have got him walking free from that court? You tell me why the FBI themselves have said they do NOT know WHO killed those agents? You tell me why they tried to alter the charge to 'aiding and abetting' when they knew their shit evidence had been rumbled?

You tell me HOW, when all of the above is PUBLIC and LEGAL knowledge, tell me HOW Leonard Peltier is still in prison????


And I will tell YOU a tale of men who are so shit scared of being brought to trial themselves that they will stop at nothing to try to silence the truth! I will tell you a story of dishonesty, racism, hatred, political intrigue and the deep corruption within US Justice System which is so damned screwed up, so damned horrendous, that it will FIGHT to keep an INNOCENT man in prison for 65 YEARS just to save its' own back!!

They are the most evil bunch of bastards EVER and one day, they *will* pay for what they have done to Leonard Peltier..

HOW he is still sane, I've no idea, apart from the fact that he chose to become a symbol for his People...And if the Native Americans were still in charge of *their* country, men such as Leonard Peltier would be in the right place..teaching the young people how to have strength and spirit that outshines all around them...

However, you have a right to your opinion, no matter the fact that I regard it as total crap. I just hope you never find yourself in a similar situation, although, if ever you do, at least you will have time to reflet on your thoughts....

I tell you what though, if Leonard does die in prison, then...THEN they will have more shit surrounding them than they ever dreamt of, for then out will come the court cases, out will come the books, the films, the TV series, and those who ARE guilty of the longest and most horrendous miscarriage of justice in American History, will be finally made to account for what they have done..
