Rage Against the Machine celebrated the commutation of Indigenous rights activist Leonard Peltier's life sentence.
Peltier, who is 80, spent nearly 50 years in federal prison after being convicted of killing two FBI agents in 1975 on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Peltier, however, has always maintained his innocence, acknowledging he participated in the shootout as self-defense, but insisting he did not kill either agent. Supporters have also claimed that Peltier’s trial was unfair, alleging that evidence was withheld and some witness testimony was coerced.
In granting Peltier clemency, Biden cited Peltier’s age and “severe health ailments.” The commutation of Peltier’s life sentence does not come with a full pardon., and, of course, Rage Against the Machine. Following the news of his release yesterday, the official Rage Against the Machine account posted on, “Anger is a gift. Leonard Peltier to be freed.
Wilk also shared a photo of a necklace that Peltier made him, noting all four members of Rage Against the Machine received one after the “Freedom” video came out. Wilk said the moment felt both “unreal” and “bitter sweet.”David Lynch, Visionary Director of ‘Twin Peaks’ and ‘Blue Velvet,’ Dies at 78 UGG's Exclusive Valentine's Day Drop Features New Tazz Slippers in the Cutest Pink — Here's How to Grab a Pair Before They Sell OutRazzies 2025: ‘Joker 2’ Leads With Seven Noms, Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga Up for Worst Actors; ‘Madame Web,’ ‘Megalopolis,’ ‘Reagan’ at Six Nods
