Fortunately, as an organization, the Weather Underground didn't kill anyone, other than three of their own in the NYC townhouse explosion. But they definitely tried.

Interesting. I had looked for a body count, but the closest I had been able to find was from the debate, when Sen Clinton said something along the lines of, 'they set bombs, and some people died.' (Not a quote, that's from memory.)

Anyway, she's either seriously uninformed (but we already knew that) or she's concerned about these people blowing themselves up. Either way, an interesting connection.

Several WU members, after the group broke up, were involved in some murders. I don't know how many were injured in the attacks they carried out while still an organization. Sean Hannity (of Hannity and Colmes on FoxNews) said tonight that he will have on his Hannity's America program this Sunday, a policeman who was injured in the bombing of the police headquarters in New York City. HA airs at 9pm ET and repeats 3 hours later at 12 midnight ET.
