Involving NY state police, county sheriff’s dept., ATF, FBI, etc… Wow.
The plot sickens… Ken
Sure does.
It always does when government gets involved like this. Ken
Insanity. Love the part about not respecting the treaties that part is amazing. I guess new York thinks doesn’t believe in soveriegn rights. Cool I guess that sets the precident that we can pick and choose the laws we obey at least in New York state. Awesome.
Well not like violating Indian rights is anything new for this country and her various states. I see it as being about more that the trend in government at all levels seems to be free for all power grabbing. Ken
and now completely cross-jurisdictional/intra-jurisdictional
Though seriously what where the indians doing here in the first place. They should have known to at least get a deed before the europeans came over. Sheesh.
There are times I feel my culture is more the humanoid equivalent of locust. Ken
roachs I say roachs. locust are kinda cool before they become locusts.
mayor bloomberg tells governor david paterson to get " a cowboy hat and a shotgun " to collect cigarette taxes of indian tribes http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2010/08/cny\_native\_americans\_call\_new.html
Incredible! Giuliani couldn’t have said it better (worse).That makes me feel like shuffling off to Buffalo to assist the indians.
I really like how hypocritical that statement is considering New York cities insane and utterly ineffective gun laws. Well at least I feel better after writing his office and telling them what I think and how I hope the Indians win. Oh yeah and how much revenue could be lost to people that say fuck that new york vacation.
There is a certain “Give me Liberty or give me Death” tenor to some of the comments on this site that I really like. Great neighborhood.
Any sane government would take this matter with the Senecas as an example of just how foolish and wrong-headed this stupid law is(I suspect that it was originally written on a napkin with a Crayon). But there’s been no sane government in Washington for many, many years.
As part Native American (albeit a small part) I have actually debated making a visit up north to lend support. Ken
Where’s the real solution to this problem? I’m speaking of course of that kung fu, ass kicking, Indian hero, Billy Jack. Once he steps onto the scene and store front glass litters the ground amid the fallen corpses of corrupt and oppresive bullies, all will be swept aside in the lightning storm of his kung fu action and stylish black hat. If growing up in America has taught me anything its that well choreographed martial arts fighting and a folk music sound track will right all wrongs.
I’m going to put my right foot on the left side of your face…and there’s nothing you can do about it. Man I loved that movie when I was a kid…Billy Jack
I still love it. Have the DVD.
