Yeah, but was your wife doing the bombing? (B. Dohrn went underground in early 1970, engaging in bombing activities.)
They were never prosecuted for their involvement with the 25 bombings the Weather Underground claimed; charges were dropped because of improper FBI surveillance.
They were never CHARGED because there was no EVIDENCE. They were never tried because there was never any CHARGES.
ONLY those on FOX news and their surrogates have suggested that both Ayers and Dorn were criminals, but NOT one of them can prove it. It goes to show that if they repeat something long enough, it becomes true to the listener. The Weather underground was a LARGE group of mixed personalities.
A coalition (if you will) of activists. By simply connecting AYERS to the group you and the FOX SPEWS crowd want to tie him to terrorism.
AYERS was never tried, charged, sentenced or arrested for any crimes against the country yet you want to talk about him like he was Usama Bin Laden. When AYERS ( a scholar ) talked about "there were not enough bombings" that wasnt all he said in that sentence.
He was talking about the effect of the weather undergrounds actions to stop the vietnam war. The weather underground intentions was to affect national policy on the war in vietnam. They hated that the goverment was taking poor teenagers to war and skipping over rich white kids (like them).
Yes, the weather underground had some really stupid people associated with it, like the splinter group that robbed a brinks truck, or those that robbed a bank, or those that planted small pipe bombs in federal buildings.
Those people were all caught and prosecuted, with the exception of a couple who blew themselves up making a pipe bomb.
Its amazing how you would trash a man in this country simply because it was suggested to you by a cable news channel. Just like you have your opinions on goverment, so does AYERS and you may not like it, but its HIS.
The man has written many books, taught at many schools, gives lectures to thousands of students and just because HANNITY and ORIELLY call him a terrorist doesnt make him one. This country is founded on the presumtion of innocence and unless you can prove he was guilty of anything, then hes an innocent man.
The weather underground split many times into different factions, and at one point, both dorn and ayers group favored coming out of hiding and turning themselves in. They did. DORN was NEVER charged with any bombings and to say that is nonsense.
Both are highly educated people from rich white families.
At the time, the war in vietnam was highly unpopular, there were many anti goverment groups in the country trying to stop the war.
Peace
