You don't remember the FALN attacking our elections in 1980?

On March 15, 1980, armed members of FALN raided the campaign headquarters of Carter-Mondale in Chicago and the campaign headquarters of George H. W. Bush in New York City. Seven people in Chicago and ten people in New York were tied up as the offices were vandalized before the FALN members fled. A few days later, Carter delegates in Chicago received threatening letters from FALN. On April 5, 11 members of FALN were arrested for attempting to rob an armored truck at Northwestern University; three were linked to the raid on the Carter-Mondale campaign headquarters.

and even worse...(also from Wikipedia)...

On August 11, 1999, Bill Clinton commuted the sentences of 16 members of FALN that set off bombs several times in New York City and Chicago, convicted for conspiracies to commit robbery, bomb-making, and sedition, as well as for firearms and explosives violations. [3] None of the 16 were convicted of bombings or any crime which injured another person, and all of the 16 had served 19 years or longer in prison, which was a longer sentence than such crimes typically received, according to the White House. Clinton offered clemency, on condition that the prisoners renounce violence, at the appeal of 10 Nobel Peace Prize laureates, President Jimmy Carter, the cardinal of New York, and the archbishop of Puerto Rico. The commutation was opposed by U.S. Attorney's Office, the FBI, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons and criticised by many including former victims of FALN terrorist activities, the Fraternal Order of Police , members of Congress, and Hillary Clinton in her campaign for Senator.

The explosions seem to have been small, the type that ETA likes to do as a kind of routine terrorizing of the population. They frequently set them in ATM lobbies, doorways, mailboxes, etc. We don't see much of this in the US, but many domestic leftist groups in Europe love this kind of thing. It happens all the time in Spain, for example, and is not done just by ETA but the anarchist fruitloops in Barcelona.

All of these leftist organizations travel around and pick up each others' techniques. I mean, even AMLO got his techniques for resistance to the legitimate election results from watching the Dem's stunts in our last two elections.

Medea loved her time in Cuba working for Castro so much. Why don't we just send her back there?

Would love too. The irony of the whole situation is that if our own Government were to be overthrown by these thugs folks like Medea would be the first to go to the gallows. They can't be trusted because they worked against their own government. A new government could never trust them.

This is not the first bombing. Back on Oct 2, banks in Oaxaca were bombed also. The CNN report on that has been pulled from their archives, you can find a link to the cached article here:

Oaxaca - Watch

The use of bombs is not a good sign. Along with the many decapitation murders, this is sounding all too familiar.

Good morning.
"...thugs folks like Medea would be the first to go to the gallows."

That was what Che specialized in.

The liberal icon lined thugs like Medea up against walls and shot them once Fidel had decided that they had served their purpose.
