Wow Clifford Collins you are one ignorant person. It was First Nations people who saw it as a bounty. A bounty because it was a reward that was offered by a non First Nations person. A reward for a hate crime that was done against a non Aboriginal person, by Aboriginals. Now if those roles were reversed, and a Native person was swarmed by a bunch of non Natives, and had the living shit beat out of them, non Aboriginals would not call a reward a bounty. ...It would be a reward. It is your ignorance which continues the hatred. It is YOUR ignorance of constantly being the victim which is making things worse.

How can one group of people turn a positive like a reward into information on a crime, into a negative? It seems ANYTHING that deals with bringing First Nations criminals to answer for their crimes, is racist. We do NOT see Tamara as what you ignorant people see her as. I say this as an Aboriginal. She is advocating for equality. It appears what you and your ilk want, is to stay above the law, and continue being more equal than others.
The longer you continue to refuse to take responsibility for the actions of your people, your leaders, and your youth, the more people are going to continue to look down on you. The more you try to make yourself look like the victim, when in fact you are the ones committing the crimes, the more credibility you are going to lose. And finally, the more your leaders steal from you, and your ignorance continues to blame the white man, the more people are going to want your politicians on the same playing field as every other publicly elected official in Canada.
So continue your ignorance, continue crying wolf, continue blaming everyone else for your problems. Until you look in the mirror and start realizing that you have to take responsibility, no one is going to listen to you, and no one is going to care. The fact that NAN and other leaders have stayed silent on the amount of Aboriginal violence in Thunder Bay, shows that it's obvious no one wants to take responsibility. The fact that NAN and other leaders refuse to address the situation, and that chiefs from the reserves these criminals have come from have not even commented on a single one, shows that they don't care.
It is you and people like you who continue the cycle of hate Clifford Collins. People who think they are better than everyone else, people who think that the colour of their skin make them more important. People who refuse to believe that Aboriginal on Aboriginal violence is a serious issue and MUST be addressed by all Aboriginal leaders, instead of them sticking their heads in the ground and waiting for it to be over. The people of Thunder Bay are sick and tired of the Aboriginal crime. The people of FWFN are sick and tired of Aboriginal crime, because the majority of our Aboriginal crime is being committed by out of town reserve members who obviously have no idea how to act human.
