Peltier was once again denied parole. This even though he's had no reported infractions in 10 years. Supposedly authorities decided that releasing Peltier would diminish the seriousness of his crime. Really? That's the best they could do? No trumped up reports from the jail about drug use or other criminial acitivity? Just the "seriousness of his crime"?
The Native American truly is invisible in this country. Euro-Americans cannot allow Peltier free because it would be letting people know that you can defy the system and survive.
Continue to pray for a man unjustly jailed and unjustly held.
