About 30 demonstrators gathered outside the office of Ontario's attorney-general to demand the release of a Six Nations man arrested for assault last summer at the illegal occupation at Caledonia. The group claims the man is a political prisoner.
A Six Nations protester arrested during the ongoing aboriginal occupation in Caledonia, Ont., is a “political prisoner” who remains in jail to deter other aboriginals from standing up for their land rights, demonstrators protesting his incarceration said Monday.
A group of about 30 protesters demonstrated outside the attorney general's office in Toronto to demand the release of Trevor Miller. The 31-year-old was jailed in August, accused of assaulting two members of a television crew near the occupied former housing development site in Caledonia.
But to protester Pat Houlley, Miller is an aboriginal who was standing up for his community.
“He was doing what any Mohawk man should do in this circumstance,” said Mr. Houlley, who came from Six Nations in New York state. “When a Mohawk man was called to protect the women and children and the territory, he answered that call.”
That guy's an American! And the Six Nations complain about outsiders interfering in their affairs.
Anyway, Mr Miller was arrested for assaulting a television crew. What does that have to do with "standing up for his community"? Were the cameramen posing some kind of danger to alleged Six Nations territory? No, they were merely filming the occupiers threatening residents and shaking down passers-by.
How does attacking journalists who are recording evidence that Six Nations occupiers committed extortion and theft "protect the women and children and the territory"?
Meanwhile, last weekend vandals wrecked a Caledonia house.
About 1:30 a.m. yesterday, the owners of the home returned to find furniture upended, mirrors smashed and the walls spray painted with hate messages. They saw intruders flee out the back door, said Constable Paula Wright.
More courageous protection of women and children?

total crock
total crackpot
he’s making it up to scare people.
like it needs to be more complicated than it is!
The danger comes from the town’s racist idiots, not Six Nations.
Wrong on all counts, I’m afraid. Check out the evidence here and here.
