What a load of crock!
Back in the 90’s when I lived in the Bay Area they closed a street in Oakland (Telegraph Ave, I think) for a long funeral procession for heroin dealer Felix Mitchell. A long procession of people followed a parade of limos with loud speakers playing the Sade song, “Smooth Operator”.
Oakland has been a communist and black extremists/idiots paradise since the 1960’s.
If honoring an armed BPP thug is what they think is important, then they shouldn’t complain when their schools turn out imbeciles and incompetents.
Eldridge Cleaver later renounced his BPP days and activities and told the truth about what really happened, stuff that didn’t show up in the media.
Also, his book “Soul on Ice”, was reportedly more fiction than truth, esp. he claims about raping white women. Got this from a fed investigator in the know.
PS: As a sidebar: Hillary worked for Charles R. Gary (Communist Party USA member and supporting lawyer) who had headed the defense of the radicals known as the “Oakland 7”.
This was a precursor tactical run for the Chicago 7 trials. If it worked, i.e. disrupting the court, discrediting the witnesses and the judge, and creating media chaos/publicity, then it would be adopted for the Chicago 7 trial.
I got this directly from William Kunstler at a meeting in DC in March 1969.
Hillary worked with Gary at the New Haven Black Panther torture-murder trial of the BBP killers of their own member Alex Rackley. In fact the law firm that Gary was a senior member of, was a CPUSA westcoast legal asset (Burstein, Treuhaft, DOris Brin Walker, Charles R. Gary).
Hillary’s ties to communists/Marxists was not just with Alinsky and continued into the 1990’s.
On night, my brother and I were waiting down the street when a car load tried to grab us. Thankfully some bikers saw what was happening and stepped in.
