That confuses me? I know that he killed RFK and all but what other murder has served as long as he has? Is it because it was a Kennedy he assinated unlike Moore? RFK wasn’t President either? Not that I’m a great avocate of letting murders go but it does make me wonder why when he’s been in jail since 1969?
Back in the days when Bill Maher was funny, he did a bit about Sirhan Sirhan who, at the time, was saying he was sure Bobby Kennedy himself would be in favor of his pardon. “Damn, the only person who would advocate for your release...and you killed him.”
There were no U.S. troops in the Vietnam War when she attempted to assasinate President Ford. Was she doing so many drugs she missed the part about our troops being withdrawn from there?? The Vietnam War was over in 1975, and we were no longer involved before that- by a couple of years. I think our last 50 Marines came home in 1973 and the major withdrawl of U.S. troops took place before that. I can't believe she was allowed to claim this as any part of her reason!! Of course Ayers also claims the Vietnam War as an excuse for the violence of the Weatherman and that took place in the 1970s also.
This is going to sound a little strange, but I really thought that it would trigger a new revolution. We were saying the country needed to change, the only way it was going to change was a violent revolution. I genuinely thought that this might trigger that new revolution in this country.
Not only does it sound strange- but she is making excuses for her actions- not accepting personal responsiblity, no way is this remorse- I can't believe she was released when she still feels like this was a good reason. So if she becomes unhappy now with the way things are going- does she believe it would be ok to assasinate the President to bring about change?? Give me a break, she needed to stay locked up.
This part of my post above should have been in italics also as it is a quote from Moore. I am not sure why it came out without italics in the post.
theres always some loon that thinks theyre a revolutionary
Most people who commit first degree murder spend their lives in jail.
LOL!
That is still rationalizing what she had done. She is really showing no remorse.
I looked on Wikipedia. Said his next parole hearing is 2011.
I really don’t know anything about how parole boards make their
decisions (fortunately.)
The guy from “Miami Vice”?
John Diehl.
He was Private Cruiser in “Stripes” ( as well as Det. Zitto in “Miami Vice”).
If you’ve seen the movie (1981), the recruits are sitting around the barracks explaining why they joined the Army.
Private Cruiser says, “I figured I’d better join before I got drafted.”
Sgt Hulka (Warren Oates, looking disgusted) says, “There ain’t no draft no more, son.”
Private Cruiser, looking a little confused and dejected, says, “There was one?”
I surprised that Sirhan Sirhan has lasted this long without a fellow prisoner “taking care of business”.
From the AP version:
“”Sara Jane Moore told NBC’s “Today” that she now realizes that her actions, stemming from her involvement in radical politics, were “wrong ... a serious error.”
It was during the long years in prison, she said, that “gradually I began to realize that I had let myself be used. ... I definitely think that it was wrong. I think I was misled. I think I was mistaken. I think I made a serious error.”””
I wonder why the quote was not allowed to continue into identifying those who by whom she felt she was being used?
Tinfoil hat...stowed.
Sergeant Hulka: Son, there ain’t no draft no more.
Cruiser: There was one?
The new guest speaker at the next national convention of Rats.
He may have some good muslim body guards.
