That's interesting. I was only 15 years old when this happened, but I kinda remember hearing about it, livin' in Chicago and all. Karl Armstong only got 10 years. Wonder how long the other 2 scumbags got. They killed a man. They all shoulda got life imho.

I went to the UW-Madison for a year in the early 80's. Think that I even had a Physics class at Sterling hall.

As the article stated no memorial and no one talked about it. It was kinda of funny watching the leftover 60's hippy leftists march down State St. when Grenada was liberated.

I think the Armstrongs got 10, Fine got 7, and Burt was never apprehended.

I posted this because it's the Anniversary of Fassnacht's death, and many years ago when I lived in Austin, and was acquainted with those in the anti-war movement (VVAW, CCI, SDS, Black Panthers-I helped with their free breakfast program,) some folks I knew who were associated with either SDS or Weather Underground alluded to the fact that they were hiding David Sylvan Fine out in Austin.

It was not a good time in America-bombs planted by those in the Antiwar Movement were going off on American soil at about the rate of 20 a week in places like California during the summer of 1970.

After, the bombing in Madison, many people dropped out of the antiwar movement. Sometimes I think that those who stayed involved all became Politicians (Tom Hayden, John Kerry) or College Professors.

Correcting my previous post:
For causing the death of Robert Fassnacht, and millions of dollars worth of damage ...
Fine was paroled in 1979 after serving three years. Karl Armstrong served seven years and his brother four.
