Entire communities were wiped out by bands of Indians pretending they had come asking for water. Women and girls as young as twelve years old were raped, mutilated, and murdered. Little boys were beaten to death. Survivors hid in piles of corpses, awaiting death while surrounded by the dead bodies of their loved ones.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMinnesota settlements in the 1860s were a haven for German, Norwegian, and other immigrants who had fled political oppression and limited opportunities to come to America. They had little to do with the causes of the conflict between the Dakota and the United States.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Dakota massacres were so easily accomplished because the German and Norwegian settlers, unlike the English settlers of another era, were unarmed and weren’t ready to fight. That’s why the “warriors” initially avoided attacking the local fort and instead went after them.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhen Little Crow’s War ended, trials were held and 303 fighters were sentenced to be hanged.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EPresident Lincoln was uncomfortable with the speedy trials and the large number of tribal fighters who would have been executed. Despite heavy political pressure from survivors and Minesottans, he personally decided to review the trial records for every single case.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELincoln had been a talented lawyer, but he was in the middle of the Civil War, and there were 303 cases. The Union depended on the support of Minnesota, and of the German immigrant community, who played a major role in the fighting, to pursue and win the war with the South.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENevertheless, Lincoln personally reviewed the trial records for each case, and commuted the sentences of 88% of the convicted tribal fighters, agreeing to hang only 39 of them.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe men whose hanging Lincoln approved were both the worst of the lot and those whose guilt he believed absolutely proven. He discarded those who had participated in the general fighting and selected those who had attacked small farms and committed atrocities against individuals, especially women and children. In this, he relied on the testimony of survivors and other fighters because the perpetrators had boasted of the crimes committed against women and children.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAs he told the Senate, he had first ordered “the execution of such as had been proved guilty of violating females” and then those “proven to have participated in massacres”.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EEven though Lincoln had been as liberal as he could possibly be and more, the hangings still weighed on him. He offered a last minute pardon to another of the condemned men, issued a special warning not to hang yet another man, and warned that the other prisoners should not be subjected to “unlawful violence”. And in the end, only 38 of the convicted were hanged.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELincoln’s liberal approach met with outrage in Minnesota. 1862 was an election year and Republicans paid the price. Told that the election would have gone better without his pardons and commutations, he retorted, “I would not hang men for votes.”\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENow in Portland, leftist rioters declared an “Indigenous Day of Rage\" for Columbus Day and tore down a statue of President Lincoln, along with one of President Theodore Roosevelt, and smashed up the Oregon Historical Society.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThey spray painted \"Dakota 38\" on the Lincoln statue in support of the child-killers and rapists.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EA member of the University of Wisconsin-Madison's student government has \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thecollegefix.com\/uw-madison-student-government-passes-resolution-supporting-removal-of-lincoln-statue\/\"\u003Eclaimed that\u003C\/a\u003E President Lincoln's statue should be removed because \"he ordered the largest execution on American soil: 38 Dakota peoples.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIn truth, Lincoln limited the scope of the executions as much as possible. He resisted political pressure from survivors, the military, abolitionists, his own party, and the entire state. In the middle of the most decisive war the country had ever known, he personally spent time poring over transcripts of court records and commuted and pardoned every one he could.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut no amount of liberalism is ever enough for the radicals and racists who hate America.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe campaign against Lincoln isn’t new.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EEven before the Emancipation Monument had been taken down in Boston, the 38 rapists and child killers had been used by leftists to attack Lincoln’s legacy. Black Lives Matter racists had vandalized statues of Lincoln in Buffalo, New York, Sioux City, Iowa, and other Democrat cities.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThis isn’t about litigating a conflict that took place over a century and a half ago.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELittle Crow’s War was typical of many such conflicts, the familiar factors, greed, rage, and radically different worldviews, were all there and led to deadly results. Lincoln, in equally familiar fashion, deplored the violence, but had trouble grappling with the reality of the military conflicts he was repeatedly thrust into, and unable to make the reforms that had caused him to run for public office, substituting for them with speeches and gestures that were both grand and hollow.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThat was the tragedy of his career and of the entire awful era that claimed so many lives.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELincoln was morally serious in the granular, but incapable of bringing that moral seriousness to bear on the tactics and resolution of the Civil War. The Dakota trials was typical of Lincoln at his most morally granular, weighing the lives of the accused men heavily while so many died elsewhere. But, looking at those court records, Lincoln felt a sense of control. In a massive conflict that was raging beyond any control, he could do justice to these particular lives.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Lincoln statue vandals claim that they want “justice”. But that would include justice for Edward Baumler, his brother and his baby sister. And the many \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.dakotavictims1862.com\/\"\u003Eother children\u003C\/a\u003E killed then.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIt would include justice for a young mother who carried the decomposing corpse of her child for over two months, for children who watched their brothers and sisters beaten to death before their eyes, and for every horror and atrocity committed in Little Crow’s War.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENearly entire families, many of them immigrant, were wiped out through treachery. Others left behind descendants that are keeping their stories and their fight for justice alive today.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHistory is complex. There was a great deal of unfairness in the collision between the settlers from the east and the west who had both crossed an ocean and found a bountiful new land.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe simplistic narrative pitting “indigenous people” against “settlers” is wrong and was always so. The German settlers massacred in Minnesota were the same sort of immigrants that leftists claim to advocate for today, and their killers were sometimes not even Indian, but like so many “Indians” today, descendants of settlers, slaves, and immigrants who could pass for Indian.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EUnarmed immigrants, many of them fleeing persecution, came to the door for Indians asking for water. And then the butchery began. Men who called themselves warriors beat little boys to death, the bodies of little girls were found stripped naked, and that is what the Left celebrates.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThat is what the toppling of Abraham Lincoln’s statues is about.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe topplers claim that President Lincoln represents injustice. They would rather not discuss the sort of justice they have in mind. The fallen children can speak to that as well as the fallen statues.

Especially career criminals. It’s to protect victims. When you insist, as BYP100 did, that criminals aren’t disposable, their victims then become disposable.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBYP 100 is currently running a \"She Safe, We Safe\" campaign to put an end to violence against \"black women, girls, femmes and gender non-conforming people\".

Restorative justice and the entire portfolio of euphemisms attached to it is little more than a struggle session for rapists.

Only people can rehabilitate themselves. And they need a reason to do it. Engaging biweekly conversations on toxic masculinity for 15 months is a free therapy session for sociopaths that does nothing to prevent a serial sexual abuser from doing the same thing again.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EKaba’s process proved that some people really do need to be caged. Or everyone ends up caged.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHow many people are afraid to leave the houses because of Black Lives Matter riots?

You cage gang members or you cage 8-year-olds at risk of being hit by a stray bullet. You cage muggers or you cage the grandmother lying on the pavement with a bloodied head. You cage rapists or you cage the women they rape. It comes down to who matters more.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“No one should be discarded or disowned, and we had to decide to stick with both Kyra and Malcolm,” Carruthers wrote.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut you can’t choose both the rapist and his victim.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“Many people have invested countless hours and emotional labor to support Malcolm in taking full accountability. Unfortunately, he has let them down. He has also given critics of CA processes fodder which is enraging,” Kaba complained.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIt’s a shame when letting a sexual predator go on doing his thing makes abolishing police look bad.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe world that Kaba would make is laid out on her site which is funded by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.
