[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 945885, member: 17969"] Finding a way to incapacitate the indians was part of the genocide of the race. The reservation system was only the means to corral the indians and concentrate the destruction of the american indian was done behind walls in order to HIDE it from the populace. Getting the american indian hooked on drugs and alcohol was a simple way of getting the indians to "self destruct" within the reservations and eliminate blame from the new white america. America should apologize to the indians for what was done to a thriving nation. As people today condemn countries like uganda, nigeria, somalia and sudan for mass killings of tribes people, those same people forget that this country did the same to millions of american indians. Only recently has the american indian nation begin to attempt to get its people off of alcohol and drugs. The indian nation is rising once again and becoming self supportive but has a long way to go. As far as Peltier is concerned, I dont know enough about the facts of his murder conviction to make a determination. If the witnesses against him testified falsely, then maybe he should get a retrial. In the case of this teen shooter, he came from a troubled household as I suspected. A violent family that was armed. Violence spawns violence. Alcoholic parents makes it even worse. No matter what the facts, the issue will still never be the GUN and all distractions will be to get the focus off the GUN. Today for example, FOX NEWS only alternative story on the shooting involved whether or not students should be allowed to pray on campus for the victims, but not one mention of the GUN involved. How does prayer outrank the importance of the GUN? Peace. TOS [/QUOTE]
