A very sad, but predictable outcome. Peltier is innocent and just a scapegoat because two FBI [holy holy holy] men were killed and someone non-white [in this case Native American activist] had to take the 'fall'. Our prisons are full to bursting with innocent people or people serving long to life sentences for minor or political 'crimes' [like thinking or speaking-out against the injustices of society and the criminal OverClass that rules, etc.]. Peltier is a good man who, yes, sadly, likely will not be let out alive...but we can still try to help fight to get him out. We are all like Peltier and all Abu Jimal imprisoned - whether we know it or not. They have the added injustice of physical confinement and loss of movement. We who still think and question realize we are all 'political prisoners'. Free Peltier!
That a Native America [the first to be exploited, killed, enslaved, robbed, raped, mistreated in our country] should suffer like this only makes the judicial obscenity worse. I was so saddened to hear the news...but in the policestate that is America today, little else could be expected, sadly.
