In so far as she was spared the death penalty, Susan Atkins is already the recipient of “compassionate release.”
Allies in War

FrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, September 17, 2001:
ON THE MORNING OF THE ATTACKS on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, along with a million other readers of the New York Times including many who would never be able to read the paper again, I opened its pages to be confronted by a color photo showing a middle-aged couple holding hands and affecting a defiant look at the camera. The article was headlined in an irony that could not have been more poignant, "No Regrets For A Love Of Explosives."
The couple pictured were Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, former leaders of the 1960s’ Weather Underground, America’s first terrorist cult. One of their bombing targets, as it happened, was the Pentagon.
"I don’t regret setting bombs," Ayers was quoted in the opening line of the Times profile; "I feel we didn’t do enough."
In 1969, Ayers and his wife convened a "War Council" in Flint Michigan, whose purpose was to launch a military front inside the United States with the purpose of helping Third World [Maoist-communist] revolutionaries conquer and destroy it.
Taking charge of the podium, dressed in high-heeled boots and a leather mini-skirt – her signature uniform – Dorhn incited the assembled radicals to join the war against "Amerikkka" and create chaos and destruction in the "belly of the beast."
Her voice rising to a fevered pitch, Dohrn raised three fingers in a "fork salute" to mass murderer Charles Manson whom she proposed as a symbol to her troops. Referring to the helpless victims of the Manson Family as the "Tate Eight" (the most famous was actress Sharon Tate) Dohrn shouted:
"Dig It. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!"
(big snip)
Today William Ayers is not merely an author favored by the New York Times, but a Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, Chicago.
His Lady Macbeth [Bernardine Dohrn] is not merely a lawyer, but a member of the American Bar Association’s governing elite, as well as the director of Northwestern University’s Children and Family Justice Center.

“Put her dead body in with Manson.”
Way too late for that. She renounced Manson in the mid 1970’s.
It is my understanding that she has had a genuine conversion experience and is not only consistent with her faith, but she is also truly penitent.
Still, her debt needs to be paid in this life. I suspect she’ll do better in the next - perhaps more than her victims.
Keep the bitch in prison so the Devil can find her when he comes to claim his due.
If She is penitent she will understand the weight of it.
And then ship them both back to Ohio, where Charlie came from.
True.
Let her die in prison. If she wants an early release she should consider hanging herself.
Whats that got to do with anything?
Tx Watson grew up in Copeville Tx
She has to live with it and die with it
So, she gets to die a free person and the dead are still dead.
I tell ya what.
The book the family was my first glimpse into how fouled up the world is.
The Godfather was big at the time and I could kinda understand that story.
The family however was complete madness.
And the juxtaposition of the 2 familys made me reconsider the former.
My my....I’m just becoming involved with Christian religion and if I were in a church with all of you I’d run like the wind.
Perhaps. but, In 2002, Atkins filed a lawsuit in federal court claiming that she is a “political prisoner” due to the repeated denials of her parole requests regardless of her suitability
Hardly seems “repentant,” now does it?
Sounds a bit like she is still working the system. Political prisoner?? give me a break.
BTW, everyone, it's not very well known, but old suzie has the same thing that teddie has. - Terminal brain cancer.
Must be going around in some circles...
You read a lot into that
Susan Adkins is a cold blooded Killer
Tell me what I’ve misconstrued.
Tell me what I’ve misconstrued.
Well... you ran from the church because they saw the world.
Its a tricky slope I suppose.
Manson et al were charismatics and Killers.
The Church of Christ offers Life
