I guess taking their land just wasn't enough...

Which justifies criminal behavior now?

If the officer had been killed, would you say to his family, "oh well, we took his land, he had a right to try and kill a cop"?

I didn't realize we had racial apologists here at FR.

Be careful here. There may have been NO criminal behaviour here.

Read the article carefully. There is a question about the treaty that the Ramapoughs have with the COUNTY, and the state.

That's why this will get a thorough investigation.

While their criminal behavior was not justified, we can't be sure that the officer was in any danger. We've now been told two different stories of what actually happened, and the truth is probably somewhere in between. Hopefully the investigation will get to the bottom of this.

I am from 5 miles away from here. (origionally). Many don't beleive they are Indian tribes at all. Rather a mixed race from Dutch settlers and freed black slaves and Hessian soldier / diserters.

Goggle: Jackson Whites for a history. 'Jacks' were a slang term referring to freed blacks at the time. Also another theory part of the ancestry was from jamaican women captured to serve as , well, you know, to revolutionary soldiers in the area.

But, its more profitable to be an Indian nation these days.
