See this picture of Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn? See the little kid. He’s not theirs. They raised him while his parent’s were in jail. That’s Chesa Boudin, son of Weather Underground couple Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert – Brink’s robbery murderers.
These two “progressives” masterminded the robbery of an armored car in Nanuet, NY in 1981. They robbed 1.6 million dollars in order to fund the Black Liberation Army, a violent black nationalist organization within the Unites States. (Violent anti-U.S. black nationalists= good. Peaceful, proud American nationalists = very, very bad.)
The heinous caper ended with the murders of 2 police officers. Edward O’Grady II and Waverly Brown.
I lived in Rockland County NY for over 20 years. Every time one of the participants in this plot was up for parole, petitions would be in the local stores for people to voice their opposition to any of these people enjoying their freedom again.
One of the great injustices of this world is that Kathy Boudin was released and was immediately hired by Columbia University as an adjunct professor in order for college students to bask in the gloriousness of her “progressivism” played out to its logical conclusion –> murder. SJWs need to learn from the best.
Judith Clark was the getaway driver during the Brink’s Robbery. She was reaching for a weapon under the seat when she was apprehended.
She received a minimum of 75 years in prison.
Wikipedia- In September 1985, letters implicating Clark in a possible escape plan were found. She was charged with conspiracy to escape and sentenced to two years in solitary confinement in the Special Housing Unit (SHU)
Judith Alice “Judy” Clark (age 67) Clark was born on November 23, 1949. She grew up in a Jewish[1] family with her older brother and parents, Ruth Clark and Joe Clark.[1] Her parents were members of the American Communist Party for many years. As an infant, Clark lived in the Soviet Union from 1950 to 1953.
She was a radicalpolitical activist in the 1960s and 1970s. She became a member of the Weather Underground Organization and participated in much of its political agitation and criminal activities. Still pursued by police after the WUO’s dissolution in the mid-1970s, Clark continued her course independently through the rest of the decade, working frequently with other radical and extremist groups including the Black Panthers and the Black Liberation Army. She was finally captured during the infamous Brink’s robbery of 1981 in Nyack, New York. *Unrepentant in the courtroom, she was sentenced to the maximum penalty allowed by law; she is currently serving a sentence of 75-years-to-life at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in New York.
*NYT- During court hearings, she told the judge she was a “freedom fighter” who didn’t recognize the right of imperialist courts to try her. She called court officers “fascist dogs!” when they clashed with her supporters.
When Clark appeared in court to make a closing argument, she merely confirmed her guilt. “Revolutionary violence is necessary, and it is a liberating force,” she told the jury.
…she was a stalwart of something called the May 19th Communist Organization. A dogmatic offshoot of the Weathermen, May 19th’s members believed that a black-led revolution in America was in the offing. The correct role for white radicals, they held, was to follow that lead, wherever it took them. Even those of us who cared about the issues the May 19th crowd trumpeted — racism, poor housing, deaths in police custody — were often suspect for not showing proper fervor.
Sound familiar?
Andrew Cuomo just commuted her sentence making her eligible for parole this year.
Cuomo defended his decision saying that Clark was merely a “20-year-old accessory” who “did not pull a trigger.”
Time to get the petitions out. One to stop Clark from being released, the other to get Cuomo bounced from any position of power. The man is a moron.
NY Post – “I met with her in prison and I spent time speaking with her and she is impressive and . . . I don’t know who she was before, I believe she was in her 20s when she committed the crime, but she seemed to me a very sober-minded, community-oriented person, very concerned about not being able to spend time with her child.”
“I don’t think there’s anyone who will say 35 years is a slap on the wrist . . . 35 years is a very long period of time. At one point you have to say to yourself, what are you accomplishing? And was there actual fairness here? Ms. Clark did not pull a trigger,” said Cuomo.
Wikipedia – Clark petitioned Governor Paterson for clemency in 2010. More than 900 people wrote letters in support of her petition, including: Robert Dennison, the former chairperson of Parole under Governor Pataki; Elaine Lord, the superintendent of Bedford Hills for the first 22 years of Clark’s incarceration; and Frank Olivier, a corrections officer of 23 years who grew up with one of the deceased as a role model.[20]
Lord wrote to the governor, “I watched her change into one of the most perceptive, thoughtful, helpful and profound human beings that I have ever known, either inside or outside of a prison.” Dennison wrote that she was “the most worthy candidate for clemency that I’ve ever seen.”[21]
Sounds like she is doing a wonderful job in prison. She’s found her niche. Besides, Columbia doesn’t need any more professors.
35 years is not a slap on the wrist for the family of the murdered.
She should have been put down like a rabid dog- her and all her cohorts.
Governor Comoros just threw his hat in the ring for 2020. He’s shoring up his Left Wing credentials. He’s so out of step with most Americans that he will guarantee another four years of Trump and Pence. Please Governor, keep buying Bernie’s voters.
Cuomo. Not Comoros. But at this point what difference does it make? He’s heading for another big cancellation of hundreds of Washington DC hotel rooms.
Want to make govt functionaries truly accountable for their decisions and action? Here’s how. Any and all govt executives and bureaucrats who authorize early release of an incarcerated violent person should, if the person released commits another violent crime after release, be subject to the exact same sentence upon conviction of the original criminal.
what gives a public official the authority to release dangerous felons, not just this one, but the others who now roam the streets at the peril of the innocent and defenseless
can they not be held accountable for some form of public servant malpractice, is there no deterrent that may give these people pause, or are we simply at their mercy
should a violent murderer / rapist be set free based on the “whim” or personal political motivations of a public official and this murder / rapist resumes his or her heinous career of crime, is there no recourse whatsoever, therefore no protection for us commoners
have never understood this power, and it also begs the question as to who can be held accountable for letting in violent illegals, refugees, etc
this is reckless behavior committed by the most arrogant of officials who see themselves as gods
Clark should be required to go on a speaking tour telling violent SJWs that what they are doing is as stupid as she claims she now thinks her actions were.
How stupid does it get? She committed the robbery in the name of Black Liberation and they shot and killed a black police officer.
Some say the Left’s “moral compass” is broken. I say they have no Moral Compass.
When I returned from Vietnam after most of the US Military had packed and left, having lost friends and acquaintances, felt abandoned by my government to work with the ARVNs who were ill trained, poorly led by their officers and prone to run rather than fight, left without US support and shunned upon my return. I felt I had legitimate personal grievances.
There were few who were as anti-government as I felt.
I didn’t pickup a gun upon my return, didn’t kill anyone, didn’t rob a bank nor did I associate with radical or communists groups who conspired with others to overthrow the US Government.
As far as I am concerned, my grievances were real, carried more weight and impacted my life and others much more than the fantasy grievances you, ayers, dohrn and other communists espoused and rebelled against.
What I did do was gained an education, worked for the Government, raised a family and peaceably did my best to change what policies I felt were inconsistent with the ideals of the US Constitution, Liberty and Freedom.
You, Ms. clark made the decision to rebel against the accepted and correct laws of man. You chose to remain what and who you were in your twenties, a radical criminal.
You did the crime, you do the time.
No sympathy, No parole.
Thanks for your service, Cato, as under appreciated as it was. These radicals have had their day in the sun under obama but have since been repudiated with extreme prejudice by real Americans.
I have a father-in-law who feels the same injustice you do. Similar life path to yours.
I hope she gets out and immediately shoots at a cop (misses) goes on facebook to announce the new revolution and to personally thank her leader in arms, Comrade Cuomo for this opportunity to kill the pigs and bring down the man. Then gets shot, wounded and goes on trial. A very, very public trial.
Cuomo should be required to say “Her sentence is being commuted because she’s been rehabilitated from the left-wing ideology that caused her to be a criminal.”
Democrats sure have the back of criminals, don’t they?
My little surreal fantasy is she gets out, gets back together with fellow aging radicals, puts on a suicide vest, and then goes to a hog farm to kill the pigs.
Has Obama’s terms unleashed the most extreme illogical inner-nuttiness in the Leftists?
A glass of water and 230 grains upon her.
