Amazonian tribe in Peru takes hostages after oil spill

I am so sorry to hear about this disaster. Even more unhappy to read some of the comments in this thread...

If these were Americans they would be labeled "terrorists" instantly, especially if they espouse libertarian ideologies and/or religion.

The only reason they're being applauded in this thread is due to knee-jerk emotional responses to "radical" environmentalism. Any un-progressive cause and they're f# terrorists. Guaranteed.

Good for them. Hope it ends peacefully and they dont end up sending the army in or something.

You all realise that the Indigenous Peoples who still live in their Ancestoral lands consider it THEIR Country, and anyone else Not invited is an invader.
You all realise that the Australian Native Peoples STILL consider White man is an invader to THEIR country?

You all realise that the American (North and South) Native Peoples STILL consider White man is an invader to THEIR country too?

If you do'nt, then all the World Wars etc that have been fought in Europe for centuries, over "Invaders" has all been for nothing.

Sadly, white people seem to have forgotten their connection to their respective "Country" and their ancestoral lands......hence their ignorance of other human peoples and tribes and specifically , their lands.

Not here to play the race card because frankly, I don't care.

but "white people" is far too broad a term.

to keep slightly more on topic - good for them. standing up for your home and environment is NECESSARY. We should take notes.

Oh, does this ever invoke some warm fuzzy feelings inside me...
