Good question. But a lot of people on the prosecution or the judicial side don't seem to think Peltier did. "Pine Ridge was a powder keg with the Goon Squad operating there with the government's help. AIM was there to protect those who were not part of the Goon Squad. There were many murders and assaults in a three-year timeframe. When plain-clothed agents in unmarked cars arrived, a firefight ensued. Leonard did not shoot the agents, and the FBI knew this but withheld evidence. The court of appeals acknowledged this but couldn't overturn the conviction due to legal standards. Judge Heaney, who wrote the opinion, later supported clemency for Leonard. Now, 38 of Judge Heaney's former clerks support parole for Leonard, including three who worked on his case. The government admits they don't know who killed the agents, but it wasn't Leonard. It's time to release Leonard and start the healing process."

Except the evidence against him was made up, relying on a very unreliable witness, and the gun supposedly used did not match up according to the government's own ballistics expert. The US attorney who prosecuted him was even in favor of this. It was a political prosecution all the way. Glad it's over and he is at least out of prison.

I don't think he really has a plan.

I think it's conceivable he may have been less than honest when he made that promise.

It was not a fun experience. Would not recommend.

It's going to be hard going back to a president who gets into Twitter flame wars with teenagers.

You are aware that when you join the military you take a lot of vaccines, some of which are considered experimental right?

I'm glad this injustice was finally corrected. Better late than never.

That doesn't make any sense because somebody seeking asylum would be headed the opposite direction. Also somebody who is seeking asylum likely isn't driving, nor would they be able to purchase ammunition. Also ammunition isn't exactly hard to come by in this country, but there is a big thing about smuggling it into Mexico. Which is why this doesn't make much sense.

Do they? How so? I'm dying to hear this explanation.

You're right. It might be too large scale to be considered grifting by definition.

You seem to have made a living from it.

Well since illegal immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate......you're not on to anything.

We should pass a law that makes murder illegal because that'll stop people from committing murder.

You might as well explain that the Earth revolves around the sun and you'll get the same response.

The grifting continues

Now @Caveira isn't going to lose his favorite source of information.

Unless they have something big lined up to replace him.

This 100%.

Somebody once told you that you were smart and good looking. It's been a conspiracy ever since.

Mark Kelly made him look like an idiot.

I think it's funny how a bunch of people are willing to believe somebody with a long and well documented history of lying, deceipt, and habitual dishonesty (not to mention being on the losing end of litigation repeatedly) is now somehow the victim of some vast conspiracy. Instead of thinking about this in rational terms, like any normal person should, and realizing, hey, maybe this guy who has been a liar and con man for decades might be full of it and trying to save his own ass.

Why would they want to be? They're part of the EU. They get free healthcare. They are afforded other rights and privileges they'd forfeit if they were part of the US. It would be a big L for them.
