I am always amused by the way Peltier's supporters argue, simultaneously, that Peltier wasn't even there and had nothing to do with the murders, and that Peltier killed the agents in the middle of a quasi-military battle, and is thus not guilty because he was defending himself.

Pick one argument or the other. But it is hard to see how standing over two fallen agents who have both been shot multiple times and executing them at point blank range while they beg for mercy can be called "self defense".

Faithful & unselfish adherance to the social Gospel unfortunately too often appears to have been used as a convenient cover by those compelled toward martyrdom and/or promoting their own socio-economic agendas.

Yes to all you've said.

But Clinton would have pardoned this killer, just as he did the Puerto Rican killers, if it had benefitted The Family Business.

The sad thing is, these People of Color think he is one of them, that He Cares.

He and Hillary are just Users.
