text: No that's not what Native leaders are saying, SpenAK.  All too often Native felons wind up receiving HARSHER sentencing compared to Caucausians or other races.  A Native and a Caucasian can kill someone, but the judicial system will give the Native offender life in prison without the possibility of parole.  Remember the Caucasian man that ran over and killed two 15-year-old high school senior girls who were walking home from an afternoon of back to school shopping?  The guy was sentenced to thirty-years for killing two teenagers.  I can guarantee you that if it were a Native that drove drunk, he would've been looking at two life sentences.  And what about Alexandra Ellis?  She ran over, while drunk, and killed a marathon cyclist and received 90-days but was granted sixty of those days for being forced to serve a second go at treatment.  So tell me once again how Natives are getting a free pass other than a free lunch at Beans Cafe and a floor mattress at Brother Francis Shelter.
