He said it in another thread (where it did sound racist), reposted it in this thread and said it was 'satire'.

Then has says once again "because they are native". Sounds like a pretty blanket racist statement to me.

I believe the exact same things would have occurred if it was a Trade union dispute. Recall how the RCMP handled the meatpacking strike in Brooks? Crap happened on the line, and you don't take action until people have calmed down.

This incident has a bit more cooling off before any charges can (and should) be laid.

Edit: I'm not sure if that answers you Antithesis? I think that charges should be laid (indeed, I think the native protesters are in the wrong), but I think going into the Six Nations and trying to find and charge the individuals who did it would be like kicking a hornet's nets right now.
