Comments on: It’s a good thing Brenda Martin isn’t imprisoned without charge in Greenland.. http://scottdiatribe.gluemeat.com/2008/03/23/its-a-good-thing-brenda-martin-isnt-imprisoned-in-greenland/ My personal opinions on social and political issues from a progressive standpoint.

Brenda Martin, by several people who new her, is a rather unpleasant self promoter, with drug and alcohol problems, who was involved with imprisoned felons, was in Mexico illegally, and seemingly made attempt to learn the language. Certainly, the consular people should check up on her, but let's not waste a bunch of public money elevating her case (and her) into an international incident. There are many other people infinitely more worthy of the martyr label.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('14708','Ratty'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('14708','Ratty','We\'re not talking about Aung Sung in Myamar in this situation.

sure Mexico has some bad people, so do we ( in fact I am seeing every day in toronto killings/kidnappings/assaults)

the Mexicans have evidence on her that has not been divulged yet, thats why she was desperate to get the Canadian governemtnt o get her out of their, she does not want a trial.

so without that prisoner transfer form we cant take her back to Canada if she is found guilty, and she will probably get5 to 10 years.

she made a lot of powerfull enemies in Mexico, and they are “out to get her”

look at the way way she puts down our governement when we stepped up our effors to help her,

She had a “free pass” a couple of years ago when she was captured in the U.S.A. and the Canadian government would at that time take her back (in shackles of course)

This person is one bad person, evil to the bone.

I also notice her support in the last week or two has gone way down .

She is “done like xmas dinne” I heard even her boyfriend got rid of her.
