I support the right of villages to banish individuals who cause harm to the fabric of their society.

That said ... I'm assuming Jacques Cooper is a white man and likely his wife is also white. This wouldn't be the first time I've seen a Native community band together against a white person they consider to be an interloper and claim all sorts of outrageous charges. I have no idea if that is what is happening there, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it is. I'm sure that while he was the Village Safety Officer, he pissed some people off by enforcing the rules, and now his reputation is paying the price.

Or he could be an idiot who sells booze in a dry village and smokes pot with school children. I guess we can use our own judgment on which we think is more plausible.
