William Frank Jr., born on this day in 1931, was an indigenous environmental leader and treaty rights activist known for his use of the “fish-in”, a civil disobedience tactic used to win indigenous rights to natural resources.
A Nisqually tribal member, Frank is particularly known for his grassroots campaign for fishing rights on the tribe’s Nisqually River. Frank was arrested more than 50 times in the “Fish Wars” of the 1960s and 1970s because of his intense dedication to the treaty fishing rights cause.
The tribal struggle was taken to the courts in “U.S. v. Washington”, with federal judge George Hugo Boldt issuing a ruling in favor of the native tribes in 1974. The “Boldt Decision” established the 20 treaty Indian tribes in western Washington as co-managers of the salmon resource with the State of Washington, and re-affirmed tribal rights to half of the harvestable salmon returning to western Washington.
I hope you nerds have a great March. 
Remember no crackers
How many white “leftists” are basically just this guy? Community service… unless you’re brown, then I will murder you
It’s for the college money though so you can die happy!
Probably somewhere from a majority to a supermajority, judging by how many of them are invading my feed turning this dead murderer into some kind of victim. “But but but he was only an IT specialist!!!” Literal Nuremberg trial defense attorney type shit. One wonders how they find time to say this shit when they’re so busy calling genocide victims literally Hitler for hurting white Jewish feelings
By slammer https://x.com/FuknSlammer/status/2033249749025820786
what do they think an IT specialist does in a military? literally “I just turn up the ovens I killed no one”
If Hitler had stuck to just killing nonwhites liberals would be calling Nazi Germany a “flawed democracy”
At this point, I wonder if they would even be calling it flawed
This legitimately pissed me tf off when I first saw it because I just KNOW that the shitlibs and chuds are now going to use this guy to do even more apologism for the US military, ad infinitum ad nauseam, just like they do with the “poverty draft” and “they were innocent smol beans who didn’t know what they were doing!” The fact that this guy signed up to kill brown people abroad is never even going to set in for so many people. This shit makes me so mad omg
“Uhh I didn’t know the military was for killing people” who tf do these pricks think they’re fooling?
Funny how this same sympathy isn’t extended to robbers and thieves who kill far less people
“Uhh look he was just a kid once” yeah so was everyone who has ever lived and ever will live, who cares?
“Uhh but he did community service” yeah the white supremacist death squad member? Remind me why I should care. What if Hitler did trash cleanup as a kid?
I never really thought about it before but that’s a good point. I guess the fact that the military’s crimes are largely committed abroad rather than domestically is justification enough to worship them
“I break into people’s homes with weapons, threaten their families and rob their place, but the people are brown so it’s okay”
NY Post when anyone suggests helping the homeless
NY Post when it can use helping the homeless to make war criminals look like good people
Gotta wonder what “helping homeless youth” meant considering he jumped straight from that to murdering brown children. “You can’t kill our combatants after we bomb your country, that’s terrorism!”
lol @ bringing up him being in boy scouts as if I should care what this dipshit did before getting owned. He killed 200 kids and if Iran hadn’t stopped him he’d have killed 200 more.
I hope it was long, I hope he had time to piss and shit himself before it was over.
Hope this doesn’t start another
, the only thing the resident crackers here love more than whitewashing war criminals is Ziohran Copdani.
Boy Scouts has always been a funnel into the military, that was its original founding purpose - to train boys to be ready for military service. That’s why it’s directly integrated into the US state, Eagle Scouts get automatic promotions upon enlisting. This was set up like a century ago.
Seems obvious on the face of it, and if that wasn’t enough even a cursory look at the history of scouting - just read what Baden-Powell wrote about it himself - would reveal it for what it is. And yet mentioning this to certain white “leftists” causes incredible levels of offense as if I’m personally destroying their childhood.
“But but but it’s just a fun outdoorsy program and all the flag stuff was just on the side!” Funny statement because former members of the hitler youth said the exact same thing almost word-for-word. Apparently it’s not indoctrination unless you’re being tied down to a chair and forced to watch Mel Gibson’s The Patriot on loop for 250 hours.
Womp womp. Wonder if there are community service opportunities in hell
dead eagle scout who helped homeless youth was a member of a violent white supremacist organisation
A real “Der Sturmer article memorializing dead concentration camp guards with childhood Hitlerjugend photos” moment
I would simply not serve in the army of the 4th Reich but I guess I’m just built different
