Native Americans suing the govt.
    #14403853 - 05/05/11 06:36 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

So the Chiricahua Apache are suing the govt. for calling Osama bin Laden "Geronimo".
I don't know weather to :lmafo: or :facepalm:. Can you do both?

The Apaches said it was a slander to the great warrior's name and so naturally they are demanding money and public apology (lol). This brings to mind other pivotal trials, like that bitch that sued McDonald's for failing to tell her their coffee was hot. I guess she thought it was going to be cold that morning.

If it was anyone else, I'd have the same reaction.

Imo, they should sue the US for for any reason they can possibly get away with.

I have no sympathy for McDonalds, and not so much for the government; I hope they get away with it.

You mean you don't want the government to get a taste of their own medicine?

Sounds like a win to me.

As much as I love the idea of our federal government getting it handed to them in court...


I don't think they have a chance in hell.


Do they have a patent on Geronimo or something?  What exactly is their case?

I know who Geronimo is.


They don't own the name though.  They don't have a case.


They're just pissed that they used his name for an operation.


The U.S. Government didn't "slander" Geronimo.


Also, apparently it's not the first time they've used his name for operations either.


Thanks for the pointless link though.

You're gettin' me all wrong. I am a quarter Native American and I hope Native nations continue fucking the govt. as they were fucked out of everything they had BY the govt.. All I'm saying is this is really a stupid case, people used to yell "Geronimo!" all the time for dumb shit. They are just clutching at straws to fuck the govt. and it's amusing, thought I'd share.

I found that "Operation Geronimo" thing racially offensive too.

If being against the actions of the United States government is being racist...

I'm not going to waste my time any further than I already have. I am all about preserving indigenous cultures, not wiping them out and then mocking them.

From what I remember reading/hearing, is that lady from the Mcdonald's coffee thing actually did get a couple million from that.

Because I remember fast food chains had to lower the temperature of their coffee after that.

Why are they pissed? Because the US named the operation in which they
brought down one of the most important terrorist leaders Geronimo?

Why would you get pissed, isn't that a good thing? Also they didn't
say the apache chief that fell from his horse Geronimo, just Geronimo.
So what's the big deal?

GERONIMO was a man fighting for the existence of his people from a people sweeping across the land with enough religious fervor to kill everyone. How DARE someone publicly compare him with Osama Bin Laden. Everything America did to the Native Americans was GENOCIDE. This is a disgusting display of "patriotism" that only America would have the balls to bullshit into a news article. I hope America gets their asses sues off. We have asked for everything we have gotten from the genocide we have let our government commit from day 1 of this country to the present day oil wars in the middle east. We justify ourselves and use god as an excuse to keep up the killing and justify what we do. America was born sick and remains sick.
