I didn't make this up, either.
The fugitives include those who ambushed U.S. Border Patrol Agents, beat them... and one who stole the agents' SUV and proceeded to attempt to run over an injured police officer.

The Six Nations has its legal tradition that they contend governs their actions and legal processes.
David Ramsay, minister responsible for aboriginal affairs, said Tuesday that the Six Nations "grand law" is similar to English common law.
"But what we're saying to them is that the Criminal Code of Canada is supreme in this country. It applies to all people and in all places."
That's correct. This is Canada. A sovereign nation. With a Charter of Rights and Freedoms that gurantees equality for all.
But the so-called "First Nations", in this instance the "Six Nations", is claiming sovereign nationhood and exemption from the Charter and the Criminal Code of Canada, while benefiting from its provisions and the billions of dollars in taxes collected from nonAboriginals who have as much of a right to everything as do the exalted Aboriginals.
The "First Nations" cannot claim to be sovereign while taking billions from nonAboriginals and deriving other benefits, including being exempt from the law, as we've seen during their illegal occupation of Caledonia and their act of international terrorism against the United States of America by deliberately attacking three of her citizens, wholly unprovoked and unjustified.
Now, who cares about centuries-old "treaties" any more, after all this? How can anyone even think of any treaties when serious criminal suspects are being protected by the Aboriginals solely based on their race/ancestry? The Premier of Ontario himself, in fact, has indicated there will be no dialogue whatsoever until the suspects are apprehended and brought to trial.
The people of Canada are guaranteed the right under the Charter to think whatever they wish of whomever they deem. This must be remembered by all who reside inside the Canadian Federation, regardless of race, ancestry, national origin, sex, etc.
Failure on the part of the Aboriginal community to respect nonAboriginals and to not act as if they're racially or hereditarily superior/more entitled, above the law, etc. will never, never, never bring them any good.
Again, I emphasize that all good people of Aboriginal ancestry must take this situation very, very seriously and realize that failing that, they will only marginalize themselves. Why on earth would they think it in their best interests to condone actions such as attempted murder and shelter the fugitives... just because of their race or ancestry?
Or do good Aboriginals lack the ability to speak up for themselves? Are they oppressed by their "leaders" to such a degree as to be afraid to speak for themselves and stand up to their "leaders"?
I'd really like to know. Because I'm very concerned for everyone, regardless of race or ancestry or whatever else like that.
I do, after all, believe in freedom, democracy, the rule of law and human rights. These are, after all, the most important things of all!
I reject any contention on any basis whatsoever that any people can be "superior" to any others.
I believe all people are created and must necessarily be treated as and act as equals.
Who disagrees?
