I’m confused by Bill Ayers. If he admits now to attempted murder, the statue of limitations has run out on the charge? Or was he ever charged?
Bombing people’s homes is attempted murder. Or near it. Right?
He admits it now, isn’t that still a crime? I don’t get it at all.
People were Killed by the weathermen!
You raise a great question. Here’s my take. The WU literally declared war on the US govt. They bombed govt. buildings etc. People were killed. The FBI treated it like a wartime situation in some cases. Like they were chasing Nazis in WW2. They might have taken some shortcuts with some wiretaps, because it was a “wartime” situation, more than a mere criminal case like bank robbery. Logical, right?
But lo, some liberal commie symp JUDGE threw it out, coming to the rescue of Ayers, due to the wiretap technicality.
With a perp that literally declared war on the US govt, and set bombs!
Ayers was let off because of an improper evidence gathering charge against the prosecution.
He cannot be charged twice for the same crime.
He (Ayers) got off on a technicality.. not sure of the details, but after his release..his reply was
“Guilty as Sin and free as a bird..this is the best country in the world” (or something to that nature)
sad huh?
