And no I hadnt heard of those two . Thier organization, yes. And thier actions were so inconsequential to history or the growth of this nation, that thier singling out was minor
A lot of folks will disagree...domestic terrorism is a serious matter, whether you glorify the guy or not. By the way, the word is spelled t-h-e-i-r.
Danr as I said in my earlier post I have listend to it, he did not deny the bombs, I know you are a inteligent person so tell me what happens when 3lb bomb goes off? If you dont know then I will tell you first there is the blast wave which in a enclosed space can cause internal injury to a person, then there is the heat and flying shrads of whatever it was placed on or in and they can kill or maim, oh and I forgot the percussion that can cause deafness. They did not know definatly that no one would be present when it exploded so they placed lifes at risk by there actions. If nothing else they showed a distinct disregard for human life and that I am afraid is what Terrorists do.
I forgo to mention that those who died making a bomb were actualy making a nail bomb, now those things are ment to cause carnage There first act was to blow up a statue the blast from that broke over a hundred windows, can you imagine what would have happend to anyone who might have been passing by? Just look at the number of bombings that they claimed responsibility for, they were Terrorists
His answer to that is that they were careful to not hurt any people (only property), that is a really big difference from the IRA. Also he makes the point that their opponent (big gov war pigs) were killing thousands of people a week and if their actions helped end that even just one week sooner it would save thousands of lives.
Other than themselves who was ever hurt by these people? They contributed greatly to ending the war sooner and in so doing they saved thousands of lives.
Danr when you plant a bomb, you can not guarentee it will not hurt anyone, they were lucky that is all and I doubt very much if there actions ended the Vietnam conflict a day earlier than it did. The American public became sick of seeing it on TV with there evening meal now that had a lot to do with it, along with the protest marches and the draft dodgers. Also if they were so careful and did not want to endager life then why were they making a Nail Bomb? In my opinion they were prepairing to move on to the next stage in there campaign that of targeting people.
Well here are at least a couple others. There were likely more, but not proven. http://www.policelink.com/news/articles/63202-weather-underground-honoring-the-cops-they-killed
" Although the case has never officially been solved, members of the Weather Underground, including Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, were prime suspects. " Ayers claims it was not his group.
Well, there you have it...."my bomb was a different bomb" "it couldn't have been us, we were bombing someone else that day"
Thanks. Yes it is serious. But like a previous post, robbing a bank and murdering cops is just that. Should every crime be an act of terrorism? I didnt check my spelling. I hope it passes muster.
