I HAD SOMEONE ASK ABOUT LEONARD PELTIER NOT LONG AGO.FOR THOSE THAT KNOW OF HIM, HE WENT TO A PAROLE HEARING AND AFTER 28 AGONIZING DAYS WE LEARNED HE WAS DENIED. IT WILL BE ANOTHER 15 YEARS BEFORE HE CAN GO BEFORE THE PAROLE BOARD AGAIN.THIS IS A DEATH SENTENCE TO HIM AS HE JUST TURNED 65. FOR THOSE OPF YOU WHO NO NOTHING OF LEONARD, HE IS A NATIVE IDN THAT WAS CAUGHT UP IN A WAR ON THE PINE RIDGE RESERVATION IN THE EARLY TO MID 70s. SENT TO PRISON FOR A CRIME THAT WAS BASED ON LIES. HE HAS SPENT OVER HALF HIS LIFE BEHIND IRON BARS THAT HOLD HIM FOR A CRIME HE DID NOT COMMIT.I DON'T SEE HOW THE ONES THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THIS CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT. WHAT THE GOVERMENT HAS DONE IS NOT TO SHOW COMMPASSION TO THIS MAN WHO THEY KNOW IS INNOCENT. EVEN ONE OF THE FBI THAT WAS IN ON THIS HAS NOW BECOME A GREAT SUPPORTER OF LEONARD AND STATES HE KNOWS LEONARDS INNOCENSE. I KNOW SOME WHO MAY READ THIS AND NOT CARE BUT WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW IS THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU. IF IT DID, LEONARD WOULD FIGHT JUST AS HARD FOR YOU. MY HEART GOES OUT TO HIS FAMILY, ONE OF WHICH I HAVE BECOME FRIENDS WITH. THIS IS ALL SAD FOR THE FAMILY AND FOR US WHO FIGHT TO FREE AN INNOCENT MAN.ONE FRAMED TO PAY FOR SOMETHING HE DID NOT DO JUST AS LONG AS SOMEONE SITS BEHIND IRON BARS. THE LIES TOLD,COERCION,LIES TOLD TO SEND HIM TO PRISON BECAUSE THE GOVERMENT WANTED THE LAND OF THE LAKOTA-SOUIX WHERE THEY HAD NO BUSSINESS BEING IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE FBI WENT ON THE OGLALA RESERVATION IN S.D. WITH A WARRANT FOR A STOLEN PAIR OF BOOTS WITH THIER GUNS BLAZING. JOE STUNZ A NATIVE AND TWO FBI DIED THAT DAY BUT JOE'S DEATH WAS NEVER INVESTIGATED.NOR WERE OVER 60 OTHER MURDERS. THERE WAS ALREADY AN UNTOLD AMOUNT OF FBI THERE WHEN THE NOW RETIRED JOE TRIMBACH SENT 200 MORE. THIS IS THE SAME MAN THAT WANTED THE ARMY SENT TO MT.RUSHMORE WHEN IT WAS TAKEN OVER BY THE TRUE OWNERS,THE LAKOTAH.HE KNEW THAT WITH THE ARMY THERE, THERE WOULD BE NO ONE LEFT ALIVE.HE EVEN WANTED THE PHONE TAPPED BUT LIED IN COURT EVEN THOUGH HIS SIGNATURE WAS ON THE PAPER. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO THIS STORY BUT THE FACT STILL REMAINS THAT THERE ARE INNOCENT ONES IN THIS BUT WERE OVERSHAWDOWED BUT LIES THE FBI TOLD AND GOT AWAY WITH. IF YOU DO NOT CARE FOR W...Expand for more
