People should NEVER forget THE FUCKING BOMBERS during the Days of Rage AND CALL OUT THESE OLD FUCKS when they appear in public.Public sentiment was already turning against the Viet Nam war but it wasn't happening fast enough for the Weather Underground.
This is the same left-wing radical abomination that convinced dozens (not hundreds, thousands or millions) of assholes to build bombs and send them to random targets In the early 1970s things were exploding all over the US. Try to imagine people freaking out today with things exploding all over the place at random.
They also hung out with the Panthers and tried to woo the group with their white guilt virtue signalling, but even the Panthers kept them at arm's length. Some descended into simple armed robbery to support their lifestyle.
And it is no wonder that when some of the bomb-makers of the Weather Underground appeared as boomer geezers in the midst of NYC Occupy protestors (archive), they were hailed as heroes. One interviewee told Bryan Burroughs for his book Days of Rage: "You have to understand, the underground, it became a cult. Weather, it was a cult. The SLA. The sixties drove them all crazy, all of us. All they did was listen to their own people, their own opinions. By ’74, ’75, when the war is over, you should have said, you know, ‘What the fuck? The revolution isn’t happening’. But they were crazy. I was part of that craziness. I know this to be true.”
Honorable Mention to (fucking) 'Professor' Angela Davis who bought the weapons used to blow a judge's head off and never did the time.
