Annie Mae whose
abduction, rape, and murder remains a guilt and shame the AIM leadership can
never overcome – “warriors” and “liberators” making war on a lone woman.
Dennis Bank$, Clyde and
Vernon Bellecourt, and Russell Means all complicit in Annie’s murder – all knew
and know, and all have remained silent.
I remain convinced
Leonard Peltier knew as well, was an advocate for her murder and was an active
participant in the decision months later after interrogating her at gunpoint
and on the run for the murders committed at Jumping Bull.
The AIM leadership has
effectively been granted “clemency” for their role in Annie’s murder in the
absence of prosecuting a single one of them, and now call for the
“healing” of clemency for Peltier.
So I have to wonder what is
the standard for clemency? How high must the body count be before it becomes a
consideration?
The AIM leadership is
responsible for multiple murders from Wounded Knee 2 to Annie –
Peltier by any reasonable standard has four that are known of either by actual
participation or complicity.
Two federal agents,
another in Peltier’s escape attempt, and his complicity in the murder of Annie.
Is four enough or does
the body count need to be higher in order to qualify?
Apparently the leadership
believes it is – apparently his supporters do likewise.
Not a one of AIM’s or
Peltier’s victims can be granted clemency, no release from the grave, nor
should clemency be granted those among the living who are responsible.
To do so has nothing to
do with healing, it has to do with condoning murder.
