Assata Shakur, a fugitive Black militant who was given political asylum in Cuba after her 1979 escape from a U.S. prison where she had been serving a life sentence for killing a police officer, has died, her daughter and the Cuban government said.
Shakur, who was born Joanne Deborah Chesimard, died Thursday in the capital city of Havana due to “health conditions and advanced age,” Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement. Shakur’s daughter, Kakuya Shakur, also confirmed her mother’s death in a Facebook post.
Shakur’s case had long been a thorny issue in the fraught relations between the U.S. and Cuba. American authorities, including President Donald Trump during his first term, had demanded her return from the communist nation for decades.
In her telling, and in the minds of her supporters, she was pursued for crimes she didn’t commit or that were justified. The FBI put Shakur on its list of “ most wanted terrorists.”
Shakur and two others were involved in a gunfight with New Jersey State Police troopers following a highway traffic stop on May 2, 1973. more
fk this ****** bitch & anything supporting it
I can’t wait to see the memorial service that the left has planned for her.
Making the worms happy was the best thing she ever did.
I hope she hated every minute of it.

The right celebrated the short life and achievements of Charlie Kirk just a week ago; the left is now celebrating the life of convicted cop killer and fugitive Assata Shakur. If that doesn’t sum up the state of our nation, nothing does.
stop capitalizing black bullshit
Cuba would not send her back while she was alive. Do not attempt to send the Corpse back now that she has croaked either.
Heh. 49 years in Cuba. Now that’s a fate worse than prison lol.
I”m sure the Cuban healthcare system had absolutely NOTHING to do with her untimely death. LOL!
ROT IN HELL you INBRED POS
…and another Communist is made good…
Poor, hungry and sick.
Well……… Bye.
cuba, a s-hole founded by the lawyer c-ass-tro. i pity the cuban people, slaves since 1959
The nice thing about old age and death is it happens to your enemies too.
No one can be a fugitive from the Reaper.
Or the TRUE Judgement.
May she fully enjoy the bitter fruits of her deeds forever.
And may her victims families know that their loved ones have finally been granted the justice that a corrupt Earth was unable to bring.
“…Donald Trump during his first term, had demanded her return from the communist nation for decades.”
Donald Trump today: “You know what? Never mind. Keep her.”
And what Pogo said above.
fugitive lower case-black militant…fify
At least she had to spend the rest of her life in Cuba. That’s not too different from a life term in prison.
Tomorrow she will get the Presidential medal of honor.
We have gone back to the early 70’s and Tom Wolfe’s book Radical Chic Mau-mau The Flak Catchers where Leonard Bernstein and other sympathetic leftists tried to pacify the Black Panthers by hosting elitist snob parties for the Black Panthers. It didn’t work than and it shouldn’t work now but the elitist asshole snobs still think that they can appease (how’d appeasement work out for Neville Chamberlain, huh and not very well leading to World War 2) blacks and other minorities (queers, radical feminists, eco weenies etc.) by pretending to be nice to them while stabbing them in the back so they can have perpetual power and authority over these groups.
Mau-mauing The Flak Catchers.
