On the 5th of February, the American Indian Movement (AIM) backed by local activists protested at the Federal courthouse in Tampa, FL demanding that Leonard Peltier be freed from prison.

Several key points were made at this rally:

1: All evidence says Leonard Peltier cannot have been the shooter that took out those two FBI invaders on Pine Ridge, though much of this evidence has been deliberatly destroyed

2:Whoever DID shoot those FBI agents is protected under international law same as any other soldier of any other sovereign nation firing on armed invaders.

3: No way the US and the oil industry would have dared to push something like DAPL through Standing Rock in 1976 or so due to the strength of AIM (American Indian Movement)
