DoomsdaysCW<p>Statement from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JacobJohns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JacobJohns</span></a> about the plea deal, saying:</p><p>"'This was a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HateCrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HateCrime</span></a>. This is a continuation of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colonial</span></a> violence. Unfortunately, this criminal process is reflective of the systemic <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhiteSupremacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteSupremacy</span></a> that Indigenous peoples face. The shooter motivated by hatred got 9.5 years, but will actually be in prison for half that time. Just imagine if I shot a person at a MAGA rally or a Christian prayer service I’d be put away for life. And all we were doing was having a peaceful sunrise ceremony – we went there to pray and our prayers were answered because the Oñate statue still does not stand.</p><p>"We live in a sick society where a man with a MAGA hat would come with a loaded gun and commit political and racial violence; though the police were on notice of that violence they weren’t there to protect us.</p><p>"The lifelong scars and injuries, loss of an internal organ, mental anguish and trauma will be with me forever – and in a couple of years Martinez will live free.</p><p>"I don’t want to end with the anger I feel inside. I want to express that Indigenous prayers and lifeways work. Pueblo people will always stand together and maintain a continuity of resistance to white supremacy and the destruction of the Earth." </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JuanDeO%C3%B1ate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JuanDeOñate</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RyanMartinez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RyanMartinez</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/O%C3%B1ate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Oñate</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MAGAViolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MAGAViolence</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousArtist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousArtist</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateActivist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateActivist</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Artivist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Artivist</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousActivists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousActivists</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateJustice</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericanActivists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NativeAmericanActivists</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HateCrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HateCrime</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MAGATerrorism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MAGATerrorism</span></a></p>
