Weather Underground bomber unmasked — as city schoolteacher

By Gary Buiso

The “bomb guru” for the terrorist group the Weather Underground never served a day in jail — but he did spend decades teaching in New York City classrooms, a new book reveals. Ronald Fliegelman built explosives for the Weather Underground, a far-left group that launched a domestic bombing campaign in the 1960s and ’70s, including one explosion inside NYPD headquarters.

But when the group dissolved, Fliegelman managed to safely fade away into the square life. For 25 years, he worked as a public special-education teacher, retiring to a quiet life in Park Slope, Brooklyn, according to “Days of Rage: America’s Radical Underground, the FBI, and the Forgotten Age of Revolutionary Violence” (Penguin Press). And he’s unapologetic about his past, according to author Bryan Burrough.

Professor of Education at the University of Chicago: "Guilty as hell. Free as a bird".

New York Times, Sep 11, 2001 - ''I don't regret setting bombs,'' Bill Ayers said. ''I feel we didn't do enough.''

Interesting hiw folks who will never comprehend a complex idea - such as Ayers and this cretin - go into education.

Why do good teachers not expose them?

Asked whether he considered himself a terrorist, he said: “Did you ever notice how many people were hurt by our bombs? People were not hurt by our bombs.”

How about Mary Anne Keetley, an innocent secretary who was severely injured when a bomb went off in her hand while she was handling mail at Pomona College in Claremont, Calif., in 1969? Or Robert E. Fassnacht, a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin who was killed by a bomb in 1970?

This man needs to be found in line in a coffee shop, and dealt with, for the NYPD cops he killed.

Remember, Trotsky was not shot.

That these people remain alive and well is a testament to the profound respect that the rest of society has for the Rule of Law. It’s that or society has completely degenerated.

Education: The #1 occupation for retired terrorists everywhere.

Certainly, the #1 occupation for ex-Weathermen.

And they have done more damage to the USA in this capacity than they ever did -- or could've -- as domestic terrorists.

Weathermen bomb blew up the Oakland PGE substation near the Nimitz exit to the Oakland Airport in 1970`s. Shrapnel from that bomb came thru the thin walls of the Quonset hut in which we were working only couple hundred feet away. Luckily we were protected by 7 rows of steel shelving which had double back-to-back steel sheets as the shrapnel flew over our heads. Can we sue this commie bastard for attempted murder??

I am truly surprised that nobody ever decided to go hunting for these terrorists. As long as they weren’t in a hurry, they could probably take out a half dozen of them, and condemn the rest to perpetual paranoia for the rest of their nasty lives.

I agree, it’s baffling. Too much faith in our system, it seems.

If he moves to Minnesota, he can be a celebrated leftist hero to democrat legislators.

They’ll worship at his feet and sell his cookbooks.

Maybe someone needs to start hunting them. Obviously the government won’t.

He and Ayers are just as evil as Manson, but they never had to pay the dues.

Perhaps. In many if not most states, there's no statute of limitations on murder.
