Witch Hunt

We have a terrible tragedy that happened a while ago in <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?display=rednews/2005/03/22/build/nation/30-school-shooting.inc" target="_new">Red Lakes</a> where a teenager shot and killed a number of people in the school. This was a tragedy for everyone involved and the whole Indian community there. But now it seems to be turning into a <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A19704-2005Apr1.html" target="_new">witch hunt</a>.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>Capt. Dewayne Dow of the tribal police told a group of parents, teachers and staff at a three-hour school board meeting that authorities believe as many as 20 students were involved.</blockquote><br />n<br />nExcuse me, unless I missed something only one person was packing a gun shooting people, not 20. Sounds like the Salem Witch Trials all over again but in Indian Country this time.<br />n<br />n<b>Persecution produced its natural effect on them. It found them a sect; it made them a faction.
