Jon Opsahl said he doesn't think domestic terrorist-turned-housewife Sara Jane Olson served nearly enough time for his mother's murder, but he's relieved the saga ended with Olson's Tuesday release from prison. Sara Jane Olson was released from a California prison Tuesday after serving seven years. Sara Jane Olson was released from a California prison Olson, a member of the self-styled revolutionary Symbionese Liberation Army -- perhaps best known for kidnapping Patricia Hearst -- was released from a California prison after serving seven years, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said. She was released to her husband just after midnight and is expected to serve her yearlong parole term in Minnesota -- over the the objections of police unions and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. Her sentence stems from her involvement in the 1975 attempted bombings of two police cars and the slaying of Myrna Opsahl during a bank robbery that same year.

Life Sentence should not mean 7 years. She is a murderer and an anti-American terrorist. She has not paid her debt to society.

She also kicked a woman in the stomach and killed her baby. Bet the media doesn’t tally that among her victims.

From the article:

After Atwood and five other SLA members were killed in a 1974 gunfight with the Los Angeles Police Department, Olson appeared at a memorial in Berkeley's Ho Chi Minh Park to eulogize her friend.

Slightly OT, but Berkeley has a Ho Chi Minh Park?! What about a Pol Pot Memorial Garden? What a zoo.

And seven years is outrageous considering her crime.

“What Cabinet position is left for her???”

There’s an opening for Secretary of the Navy. Why not? She has as much experience as Obama.

Boy, that is one ugly b*tch.

Now she can go back to her life of yelling at kids who short cut across her lawn, driving a Prius, listening to NPR and trying organic deodorant.

How priceless would it be if she was taken back into custody and told the parole board made another adding error?

Prosecute her for the murder of the child when she kicked a non-resisting pregnant woman in the stomach.

So, that’s all it takes to end the saga? I wonder what he really thinks. I don’t see any cause for relief. The lefties in the media are relieved, and couching it in terms of Christian forgiveness, so most people will accept it.

They hope that Olson will be able to resume a normal life, pursuing the American dream. They are salivating, waiting for the book to come out, then the movie. Probably a few of them are hoping to get the job of ghost writer.

The “saga” will not end until she departs this Earth, then we can be relieved.

Karl Marx is dead and buried but his radical visions are still leading to the deaths of millions in this world.

What is it about liberals and not aging well?

Almost very liberal over 50 looks like they are at least 20 years older then they actually are.
