Infuriating law-enforcement organizations and his colleagues, a City Council member, Charles Barron, introduced a resolution yesterday urging clemency for a convicted and escaped cop-killer, Assata Shakur, formerly known as Joanne Chesimard.
On May 2, 1973, Chesimard was involved in a roadside shoot-out with New Jersey State Police after the vehicle in which she and two companions were traveling was pulled over because of a malfunctioning taillight. During an exchange of gunfire, a New Jersey state trooper, Werner Foerster, was wounded. Chesimard, then a member of the Black Liberation Army and the Black Panther Party, was convicted of first-degree murder in 1977 for seizing the incapacitated trooper's side arm and using it to shoot him in the head.

Mr. Barron's council resolution, which he announced yesterday at a press conference on the steps of City Hall, calls on the New Jersey State Police and the Justice Department "to cease portraying Assata Shakur as a terrorist, and ... to rescind the reward for Shakur's capture and grant her clemency." The Brooklyn council member's resolution praises the convicted murderer as "a social justice activist, a poet, a mother, and a grandmother."
That anyone would consider this woman anything other than a terrorist is an outrage!
There is no slippery slope anymore.....we have gone over the cliff.
Thank you for playing. Please pick up your parting gifts backstage.
Barron needs to have his head examined.
WTF is wrong with this country when a soldier has to fight for his life against unknown enemies then face murder charges when he defends himself. But A convicted cop killer and fugitive gets a get out of jail free card handed to her by the government?!!!
I have a better idea .... stone her to death like they do in that culture she admires so much.
Maybe starvation and dehydration, it's very euphoric you know.
this is the same clown that said a couple of years ago that he feels like going up to a white person and smacking them if they didn't agree with ""reparations"".
also pushed eubonics.
why doesn't somebody just tell him to shut up ?
they went over the cliff years ago when they elected him .http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/735664/posts
He's insane, a die hard anti-American Socialist. This is probably a pre-emptive move just in case we trade her for the guy we have who blew up an airplane in the 70's(80's?)
"On May 2, 1973 New Jersey State Troopers James Harper and Werner Foerster were patrolling the New Jersey Turnpike in the area of East Brunswick. They stopped a car with three occupants. The Troopers were questioning the occupants when the driver and female passenger suddenly came up with semi-automatic pistols and opened fire. Trooper Foerster was struck twice in the chest, and Trooper Harper was hit in the shoulder. The female then proceeded to take the service weapon from the injured Trooper Foerster. She pointed it at the wounded Trooper and shot him twice in the head, execution style. The thirty-four-year-old trooper with just three years on the road died soon after. He left a wife and family behind. Fortunately, Trooper Harper survived."
We first need to remove it so we can have a better look.
You'll need a proctologist.
It seems these creatures are coming up all over. We have a ton of them coming out of the woodwork. It's time for more insecticide - BUSH SPRAY.
