[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 823159, member: 1246"] Ayers participated in a series of bombings in the late ’60s and early ’70s, whose targets included the New York City police headquarters and the Pentagon. Ayers turned himself over to authorities in 1980, and eventually became an active part in the reforming of the Chicago educational system. Ayers’ first arrest was for a sit-in at a Chicago draft board. Ayers called himself a “small-’c’ communist” in the ’60s, and also participated in a movement called “Smash Monogamy.” While no one was killed by any of the bombings he was involved in, several Weather Underground members died accidentally while creating bombs. Ayers has claimed that he “doesn’t regret” setting the bombs, and that he feels “we didn’t do enough.” He later clarified that “we didn’t do enough” did not mean “we didn’t bomb enough :censored:,” but that the nation didn’t do enough to oppose the war.
