BIG hat tip to SD Watch who notes that a play has been developed based on the writings of Leonard Peltier:
A play about convicted murderer Leonard Peltier? Whether it is good, bad, or indifferent, I don’t see it playing in South Dakota any time soon. Maybe we should all see it, whatever our views on Peltier’s guilt or innocence, but man, this is going to reopen some major wounds in our state.
Go read it here (with a
youtube clip).
Yuck. Why should we be surprised about this? "
Murderabilia," or the fascination regarding the art and ramblings of convicted killers has been a sick underground trend for some time now. I'd just add this to the pile. To me, it's no more than wanting one of
John Wayne Gacy's clown pictures.
Somehow, I doubt the play is going to document what Peltier was convicted for. The killing of FBI agents Coler and Williams from fatal wounds to the head delivered by a high-powered rifle at contact range.
If you're really interested in the history …

When I got home, I tore my computer apart, and installed a new motherboard and CPU. Unfortunately, my prior install of Windows didn't agree with my new motherboard, so I had to reinstall everything from scratch.
I'm just starting to get back on-line now (while Windows Service pack 2 installs)
