FBI confirms black activist was killed during 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- The FBI says a black civil rights activist was killed during the 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee, and it suspects militant members of the American Indian Movement are responsible, according to recently released documents.

The hundreds of pages of reports provided to Buffalo, N.Y., attorney Michael Kuzma and shared with The Associated Press on Wednesday shed new light on the 40-year-old case of Ray Robinson, an activist and follower of Martin Luther King Jr. But the documents fall short of pinpointing where Robinson was buried and do little to fulfill his family's wish to have the remains brought home to Detroit.

Going on a statement from a "witness" the FBI has done little to confirm or even search for the body after the information was brought forward.

It really isnt surprising though, the FBI and justice department has done little to investigate the string of unsolved murders on the reservation between 1973 and 1976, although one woman was said to have died of exposure... with a bullet wound to the back of the head. Then in an effort to confirm her identity, her hands were removed and have not been seen since.

Then of course there was the fire at John Trudell's home on the reservation that was never investigated fully, even though his family died in it.

I would have thought that someone that venerates MLK would have a justice department that would actually look into these crimes, instead of just saying "AIM did it."

Oh well, there is still a man serving life in prison, convicted with the closing argument "we cannot prove he held the rifle that was used to kill these two agents, but someone has to pay."

The native american deaths that happened at the same time were never investigated.

Bullshit yes, the biggest no.

The biggest loads of bullshit since Obama/Soetoro/Soebarkah was elected and re-elected were the first and second times he said "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Well hey I know it's tough. We can't always have a neocon, lying, criminal, surplus squandering, deficit spending, war mongering and profiteering, CIA field agent-outing, wall street gambler worse 2-term performing, supreme court-appointee, like Geo. W Bush as president that somehow almost magically, couldn't protect the pentagon.

So we deal with what we have.
