President Biden, please grant clemency to Mr. Peltier. Thank you.
He won't he's racist.
Thank you Mr. Sharp for your tirelessly effort to help Mr. Peltier release.
Let the man out. He served enough jailtime already. President Biden should do the right thing and free him immediately.
But the FBI won't allow it is the real reason
And Anna Mae?
He killed two people?
@@bleb87 Three. RIP. Anna Mae Aquash.
@@bleb87if he didn’t, whoever did let him waste his life. If he knows who did it and is protecting them he wasted his life, I’m sure they would be thinking “sucker”. Really clever.
ITS ABOUT TIME! Kevin Sharp is absolutely amazing! thank you on behalf of all indigenous peoples & Native Americans.
I especially appreciate it finally being said ...Truth.
FREE Leonard
My sentiment too...Thank God for him.
He should never have been imprisoned in the first place. I hate that he's putting hope in Biden, a well know racist.
Thank you. Yeah, watch Biden's angry face whenever someone tells him minorities might now have his back anymore. He gets a look of pure hate and disdain. He promised to be our ally to trick us into voting for him to win the election by our small margin. Breaking a promise to natives like that is pure ignorant racism. Plus, he arrested us in DC last year for holding a peaceful non-obstructive planned rally in front of the White People's House, aka The White House.
It's a good thing to do, to let him go!! Praying for him!!
If he has to go to his to go home to his people let him free God bless him
Free Leonard Peltier!
Free Leonard Peltier!
It’s the right thing to do.
Free Leonard Peltier NOW‼️
Release him so he can walk with his family and friends and listen to the drums should have a big pow wow for him
Send him back here to the Rez. There is folks with old scores to settle
Hope and pray he is able to get out.
The Trial was absolutely manipulated
This case screams - injustice!
Even 47-years later.
#freeleonardpeltier
He was FALSELY convicted which has been known for years. . This man has spent his life in prison for nothing....it is a travesty.
He's a good man and never deserved this.
I'm glad to see at least some rare media coverage. He won't live much longer.....If he dies, he will at least
die as a true martyr and will never be forgotten.
There were too many different concerns aside from this one man that got melded into this case, if you ask me. There was fear of AIM and they worried about AIM becoming too powerful or dangerous. That's what happened here.
Healing prayers ✌🏽💚🙏🏽🦅
He admitted he shot at the FBI agents! He was not an angel
@@mikeborgmann He was innocent of the crime they put him in jail for and there was evidence to prove that which was refused.
He has spent his life in prison for a crime he never committed. And your comment is that "he was not an angel".
Believe it or not, no human being is an angel. But what he has been through ( and his whole family and community)has made him a martyr.
@mothersgauri4137 but he admitted to shooting at the agents?
Come on Biden, DO THE RIGHT THING! Let him go home!
Obama didn't why should he? Back in 1980 The Sioux filed a lawsuit and won and they wanted their landback Democrats said no! so them are no different than anyone else. They won't do it.
Haha Biden could care less!!!! He is part of the system that put this man away!! WAke up!!!
Good luck with that
Free Leonard Peltier... 2023 from Lakota Territory
A Native American Held Forever.Thank the Lawyer 4 his Service.
May God be with you both.
Let freedom ring!
RACISM is not the same as prejudice!
Nobody is above the law but the FBI...
(Read) PRISON WRITINGS by Leonard Peltier!! Free Leonard Peltier!!!
While John Hinckley Jr is free 🤬
Prayers are Answered ❤
#FreeLeonardPeltier
Let that loser rot
God will help good people to help do a job that is right and fair under LAWS
Well, it has been almost 47 years. Leonard Peltier is a good man and everyone knows he was not fairly tried
Miyutake oyasin
About time
The man deserves to be granted clemency.
The Hoover FBI was not an agency of integrity.
Prayers for Leonard Peltier and family
Prayers for our cousins the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota 🌹🙏🕊️

The government itself has no integrity.......
Although this is late in coming,both the post and someone who may actually get Leonard Peltier the freedom he should have had from the start. I am a 57 year old member of the Cheyenne River Sioux, who lives in Wisconsin. I would like to thank you for helping this gentleman.
I have stated this before, and this still needs to be said, I love this country, but our government and false history really need to be put right. If anyone thinks the government and history as truth, please start listening to the truth that is finally coming out on both accounts.
“A river cuts through rock, not because of its power, but because of its persistence.”
FREE LEONARD
He need to be released
Who MURDERED Anna Mae? Watch the Billy Jack movies from the early 1970s...chills the blood
who killed jesus?
@@aquaticspasticp5024Who killed Anna Mae? John Graham, at the behest of Thelma Rios and under orders from you know who.
This is not just a dude his native American, they put him in prison cause he was protesting for the right of people
Actually, they put him in prison because he murdered two FBI agents.
@@alexgray337 How do you know he did? Comon dude a Native with a AR 15 in 1975? Research this case
The truth is ruthless!
He didn't tho, there was zero evidence and they had to arrest Someone
@@alexgray337 no he didn't. The ballistic tests cleared Leonard years ago. Maybe you should listen closer to even this short clip
I'm guessing it's his lawyer pushing for clemency bc ICT news said that Leonard feels, "Clemency would erase what's been done" and he's not interested in that.
You need to see what has come out since they railroaded this man. He had no part of the shooting .
@@blameitonthepixie yes I know that. That's why I was saying what I said.
Freedom for Leonard Peltier ✊🏽
GOD I. Pray so. Have followed this man and AIM for many year's since it all happened. I remember when it and Alcatraz all went down.. also the occupation of Wounded Knee. Thanks for help this man is innocent
Yes. Aim destroyed the Village, plundered their own museum and sold the Ghost Shirts to Europeans. To this day you cannot buy a gallon of milk in Wounded Knee. Thanks to AIM.
Leonard is in southern Florida correctional system. He was not born or raised here. His family are extremely poor and don't have the finances that will ever let them visit with him, sad Sad SAD
I’m related to him
I guess he shoulda thought of that before he killed 2 people.
@@question_it_701 stop judging wrong
@@liljimitwofeatherz9735 lol. Stop being a liberal crybaby.
No s**t...
This is what systematic racism looks like.
Not really
@Hooknose Shylock Yay! A clear lack of knowledge about the case. You should do research before you talk.
@@silverpairaducks Someone doesn't know their history and it shows.
@Hooknose Shylock but your racist opinion is? 🖕🏽
FREE LEONARD PELTIER!!!
WHOOP! WHOOP!
This dude applied for clemency when barry obamba was president, and was denied….was that also systemic racism?
Do the right thing Joe but let Leonard out
Come on Biden free Leonard peltier
Thank God for Kevin Sharp-- compassionate, legal mastermind, and easy on the eyes. Lol. Seriously, he brings me hope.
Free Leonard

Free that man
... It aint ova, till ITS OVA, stay EVN STRONGER, BRUDDA😢
Very sorry
LET HIM GO. I don't know all of the facts of the case, but Native Americans have been mistreated for much too long and it sounds like this is another example of that occurring.
As Zack de la Rocha once said, Freedom.
and what says Biden?
No!!
Yeah she should be granted clemency.
Also from what I understand this all happened on native American land. And the FBI agents had no right or warrants to be there.
Shocked
✊🏾
I was a little kid then I remember aim I remember the court house in Sioux falls getting destroyed wounded knee jjanklo was a killer
The families of the officers are fools, the real killer got away with it
Let's do this
Release my people now
1993, Bill Clinton:
I won't forget Leonard.
I understand how that feels
Only if he tells the truth about the paintings! 💯
What do you mean?
What??? He gave me a painting, and I gave his sister one... What is your weird point?
@@annethompson4318 where can i purchase one
He killed 2 FBI agents. But he has served enough time and should be set free.
Where would you send him? They don't want him in Porcupine Village. Hollywood?
1975 is a long time was he framed? Why him! Did he pay for some other person s crimes who killed the kid ? And why?
What were the July eleven results for relief
❤
Do it, Joe
Linnard has in prison for nothing this shows how fu d up this government is. It would be bad for me to say what I really feel. Hang in there linnard. Peace and love from all your supporters.
Let Leonard go......
7 months later.... has any progress been made?
For real what's up with this is now been 9 months & I am not aware of anything other than more useless talk but I like this Sharp guy he's alright
Yeah, Biden gave more billions to Ukraine..
@@GrannyG63and?
Osiyo on the Dark Side of the Moon!
One White Brother here of mixed heritage. What one white? The one who one. OB1. Pick another color! Gosh darn golly he must of jumped right off the screen! While that may be funny to you what I’m about to say is quite real…
“Our conversation with the Federal Gov. to Free Native American Political Prisoner Leonard Peltier who’s been falsely imprisoned going on half a century and to honor the Indian Treaties (pre-constitutional law) forming the basis of our great nation was almost entirely redacted on national TV shortly before the insurrection because it demanded that the then President also relinquish the nuclear codes which has never been done.
Oct. 2020 I spoke with at least around a dozen federal agents including the FBI and even the US Navy. Trump says before being elected, “We have nuclear weapons so why can’t we use them?” Nancy Pelosi confirmed to our international audience on national TV that indeed they where removing the nuclear codes with the help of the CIA and if anyone has any questions they could just call up and ask. What followed only confirms nuclear tensions where about to explode. The redaction is worth at the minimum trillion$ more than all moneys because with nuclear war lights out! Nothing! This simultaneously addressed the other largest nuclear power and all the rest without having to address any of them directly except our own.”
This is a true story. If you alike what you see please support the Peacekeeper. Please allow me to retire and pass the torch. I should not need to utter another word. What was done never needs to be repeated. The whole story must be told with or without the redaction so what happened in Japan never happens again. The hardest work is finished and far too much already been sacrificed. We’re much too close to loosing everything. The freedom of all unjustly incarcerated sets the precedence both on the national and international scale for human rights violations leading us into this mess. If we cannot connect the bigger picture to what is happening on the human scale we’ll loose everything within the next century including the environment. “We inherit the earth from the future generations.”
Thank You!
Your Peacekeeper and friend
P.S. There’ve been many like Christ or the Buddha but Krishna is a thief. Best to be, “Wanted” in Hopi Tribal Court for stealing all of space-time. During the proceedings the Peacekeeper will demonstrate just by being seen the supernatural.
Know me (No-me). You know like, “Menominee.” “Brian” means King. Some say I’m all, “Ram.” Indeed 100% Ram (pronounced “wrong”).
Stop injustice
FREE HIM
He's been In there for a very long time . HES PAID HIS DUES. .
It's a tragedy in its self what the United States did to the American Indian. This poor man was railroaded. Biden do something right for a change pardon this man.
Fbi won't allow it when Clinton was going to massive fbi protests happended cause of it and it became a security risk
Kerry, поддерживаю Вас. Самый страшный и бессмысленно - жестокий геноцид за всё существование человечества. Поэтому, сколько бы не прошло столетий и сколько бы не сменилось поколений, белым американцам и их потомкам никогда, НИКОГДА.!!!!!!!!!! не искупить вину перед американскими индейцами.
Most people don't know that Leonard Peltier was one of the head organizers for AIM and that is why the FBI railroaded him in the first place , that is why out of 40 people who were there that day he was the only one who is in prison .
#freeleonardpeltier
Do the right thing Joe and it is the right thing. I am the old man
Why, when his attorney pronounces his client's name numerous times, does SHE keep pronouncing it another way? It's as if she is just a question-machine who isn't really listening.
#FreePeltier
FREE MY NATIVE BROTHER.!!! DON'T FORGET YOUR CHECK BOOK.!!! JAMES EAGLE.
Woman in The Newsroom get your story straight it's not the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals it's the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals
If Biden grants clemency for Leonard Peltier it probably would help him to be re-elected
Free Leonard Peltier
So he's locked for life for killing or not killing two mean when a man who helped killed and raped and torched and kidnapped 20 women is out of prison. Something is wrong here.
It was a different time back then every one was fighting the tryranical government. The same as Isreal is doing against Palestinians today.
Please President Biden, Grant clemency to Leonard Peltier, he’s an old man and we’ve already victimized indigenous communities and land long enough

Thank you for covering this.
FREE LEONARD!!!!!
White Mans Law’s still doing what they were supposed to do. Free Peltier
White man's law says if you pass the speed limit you have to pay them because they care about me and they are concerned for my safety! Laws are made to make money!
Free Leonard Peltier!!!
FREE LEONARD PELTIER !!!
looks a bit like pablo 😀
Bieden says he’s is fixing racism in the country what about our political leaders the black panthers many who was falsely accused and still incarcerated and innocent
@Hooknose Shylock This is coming from an antisemite? That's cute.
Terrorists
All indigenous and black rights leaders need to be released and the untied states government needs to take accountability for the hate crimes they committed - an Ndee woman who supports BLM
Mutual Shakur was released in December after 35 years..
His charges were the death of 2 cops and a security guard.
Leonard killed no one but still sits after 48 years..
Many black liberation parties have been released
Black panthers in prison are all murderers only 19 in prison so it doubtful they ever be released cause of murdering police, or other people
BOTH Clinton's testified.
Pence MUST testify.💙
Omg 💯
We need to get brandon to testify about the righteous drone strike he ordered that murdered 7 children…..
Clinton actually tried to release him but massive protests at the white House changed things
1970's the F.B.I. is looking for an individual (Eagle)to question for a petty crime and the claims leonard Peltier killed them for no reason? Also I want to point out they were killed with a AR-15 and do you really think that they would sell an Indian that kind of weapon at the time.
and a .308 british rifle and 125 bullet wounds between the both criminals were found on the terrorist ronald arthur williams and also the terrorist jack ross coler (fbi agents) there deaths were righteous thank god for heros. by the way the evidence was given to them by someone who was mentally ill by the name of poor bear. fbi was also in a operation called cointellpro which vitcimised womens activist groups and black people, i'd enjoy nothing more than sending edward j hoovers organs to loved ones..... see how that crossdressing freaks family would like it.... i would lol
@@brandyG13su FYI I am one of those Native Americans. The Reservation I live on I cannot find one single Veteran who given their military weapons after the Vietnam war.
@@MrFernando58763 yes you're absolutely right. I shouldn't have said anything. I am not even sure what I'm talking about.
President Joe Biden will definitely do this because he knows it puts him in all international history journals. How great is that! We love President Joe Biden
Hmmm… still waiting. Biden don’t even know who this cat is.
He knew… but forgot after a couple of seconds.
So has every president at the end of there term for the last 40 years . It's always on the back burner
😂😂
Lol...
Free This Man!!!
Not even the far left trickster barry obamba granted this dude clemency….but brandon will do whatever his handlers tell him to do.
Now in English?
Leonard has done far less than Donald Trump. Let him go free already. This is ridiculous.
