Those agents should be charged with assault 1 or attempted murder.

They are trying to make the world believe there is a big change in Canada.
Yet,it is propaganda.

There has been a change in Canada. Since Harper has taken over, the attacks and abuse of Algonquin people have become worse. The place where communities will most likely choose to take up open and active armed resistance to a national government is more likely now in Canada than the Zapatas in Mexico.

Deeply saddened and angry!

Noted. This is abominable and I hope that the perpetrators of this brutality are held accouuntable to the fullest letter of law since they appear to have no sense of right/wrong and no compassion for human beings. Thank you, David, for submitting this story and to 'C' for calling it to my attention.

Sunday July 20, 2008, 10:13 am
Such a terrible sad horrific story this is, I just read. I will NEVER begin to understand humans and their cruelty..Thanks Carole for the e mail and David for posting this story...noted.

Sunday July 20, 2008, 10:33 am
There has been a history of abuse towards Native tribes in eastern Canada and nothing seems to have changed. I hope the perpetrators of this horrible incident are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law...

noted, thank you, David

Those agents are the ones who should have charges pressed ON them! People just don't beat people up! This isn't the dark ages nor is it the Twilight Zone. A badge doesn't give anyone the power to do as they please. What happened was totally unnecessary. I hope Kahentinetha Horn recuperates completely from the trauma and the medical bills are paid for in FULL by the department the police are from. Then those who beat Kahentinetha Horn should be discharged without pay from the force.

Sunday July 20, 2008, 10:40 am
This is sad. Canadian indians as well as Native American indians have historically always gotten the shaft!!!!!!


There is only one planet earth.....Plant trees for life.......

Sunday July 20, 2008, 11:31 am
I believe this all took place around the same time that Stephen Harper was "apologizing" for the rapes and abuses in the the Residential schools!!!! So much for "SORRIES" WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP!! Especially when they cohurse the Native Police to turn on their own people!

Sunday July 20, 2008, 11:32 am
The original attack happened the very weekend after Harper's speech, yes...

Sunday July 20, 2008, 11:39 am
I'm in agreement with June and others about this situation. This should not have happened at all.

TY, David & Just C.

Sunday July 20, 2008, 12:29 pm
Let me get this straight: Kahentinetha Horn is attacked and suffers a heart attack, and SHE is being charged??? Talk about blaming the victim!! This is absolutely abominable!!

Sunday July 20, 2008, 12:37 pm
Beating up on a 68 year old woman?
Wow, those cops must have been some
real tough guys, huh?
I guess Canada is going as fascist as
the States have become, if suppression
of the press is taking place.
This is disgusting, it is beneath contempt.
Attacking and beating ANY member of the press,
let alone a WOMAN, merely because that person
is doing their job, is a frightening and horrible
thing to have happen in any country, anywhere.
God/dess Bless You, Ms.Horn.

Thanks, David.

violence...disrespect is never the answer for anything...Im go glad to hear she is healing from her heart attacka and I pray her spirit is undaunted by these careless men. When will we learn...compassionate non viloent communication?

Sunday July 20, 2008, 1:14 pm
I had to read this twice. What could a 68 year old woman do that would be so bad that she should be beaten? And the Canadian police being involved is even more ridiculous; come on, Canada, don't you have any real criminals? I didn't see where it explained the origin of a problem, but if it was because she was outspoken, or Native American, these officers should be brought up on charges. Actually, no excuse is good enough. Thanks, David.

Sunday July 20, 2008, 2:02 pm
If there really is such a thing as reincarnation I am really starting to doubt if I want to come back to this planet, if it's still here....people everywhere are going mad !!

Sunday July 20, 2008, 3:44 pm
I agree with you JoAnne. I don't want to come back to this either.

The Supreme law of Nature....evolve or die.

I have come to the sad conclusion that humanity is at its peak in its evolution. It's all downhill from here. Not only will we obliterate ourselves, we will take out every other species with us. Is that not madness? We are mad. I see it everyday more and more. What saddens me most is that we will annhilate everything else that is greater than ourselves in the process of our extinction.

What else can explain a bunch of men beating up and inducing a heart attack in an old woman--for writing what she saw, writing TRUTH as she saw it. MADNESS. What is equaly insane is that these 'men' will more than likely NOT be charged with attempted murder or even Assault in the First Degree. No, they will more than likely be shielded and get no more than a slap on the hand and told to not do it again. They might even get suspension of pay for a month--maybe. Most likely they will be transfered to another district and it will be business as usual. That is what happens MOST of the time with our 'Boyz N Blu' here in the states. MADNESS.

I just read in another Care2 article that Ms. Horn has died. Hope those IDIOTS feel like REAL BADASSES now. You MURDERED an old woman. Good going you a**wipes. IN-****ING-SANE!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday July 20, 2008, 5:03 pm
Noted thanks David..

Sunday July 20, 2008, 5:05 pm
I, too hope they are brought up on charges. How can an old woman be such a big threat? I had respect for Canadian police but they have now fallen down with the US police in bigotry and ignorance. Not too intelligent if you can't solve a problem with an elder. Natives on both sides of the border have been piss poor treated. Leonard Peltier is still in jail for something that was never proven by the idiots of the US. I hope your guilt eats you alive when you meet your maker...if you have one. We are humans

Sunday July 20, 2008, 5:46 pm
I cannot find any news that Ms Horn has died. If there is such a link, please post it so that we may all access it. The latest news I have is that she has been released from the hospital.

Sunday July 20, 2008, 6:12 pm
I'm grieving as I think about this Carole. How could they do this? What was the background to these actions? Was there a protest going on or was it something done without any excuse, randomly? Whatever the situation was there is no reason that could possibly justify these actions. You just don't harm old women and anyone purportedly in a law enforcement agency who does that should be brought to trial and sentenced to some serious punishment.

Sunday July 20, 2008, 6:23 pm
Some background may be found here: http://www.care2.com/news/member/631987138/782743

Judge for yourself, hugh.

I also have not heard yet of her passing, and very much hope these reports, which I also cannot locate here either. are simply being made in error.

Sunday July 20, 2008, 6:31 pm

I also did a search and found nothing regarding her death, David.

Sunday July 20, 2008, 6:37 pm
The only person I see who claims to have seen this news item is Tim Redfern, and he comments on this in another news item, http://www.care2.com/news/member/363754298/820437 and this is what I think Terrie refers to having seen.

Sunday July 20, 2008, 7:16 pm
Sorry I took so long iun posting back for you Maggi. I had to backtrack through my deleted files. Yes, David, That is where I saw it posted. I have no reason to doubt Tim's word. Below is where I read it and what was posted.

Tim, if you could be so kind as to let us know where the article that reports her passing is posted so we can read it, we would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!
Terrie

Another Care2 member has a news-post
about this, and I'm sorry to report
that Ms.Horn has died.
We have fulfilled another point of
fascism, with forced suppression of
the press.
Attacking a 68 year old woman, a member
of the press, is disgusting and beneath
contempt. This is beyond outrageous.
Rest in Peace, Ms. Horn.

Thank you, Brenda.
