The Weather Underground were formed in OCTOBER 1969. That is the waning days of the sixties.
They remained active and on the lam hiding in safehouses into the mid-1970s.
Several members were involved in a bank robbery in the 1980s.
“Sixties” terrorists? BULLSTALIN.
He was a sixties radical, by 1970 he was already in hiding for what he had done. The Weathermen came from SDS.
“Ayers became involved in the New Left and the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).[7] He rose to national prominence as an SDS leader in 1968 and 1969. As head of an SDS regional group, the “Jesse James Gang”, Ayers made decisive contributions to the Weatherman orientation toward militancy.[5]The group Ayers headed in Detroit, Michigan became one of the earliest gatherings of what became the Weatherman. Between the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago and the June 1969 SDS convention, Ayers became a prominent leader of the group, which arose as a result of a schism in SDS.[5]”During that time his infatuation with street fighting grew and he developed a language of confrontational militancy that became more and more pronounced over the year [1969]”, disaffected former Weatherman member Cathy Wilkerson wrote in 2001. Ayers had previously become a roommate of Terry Robbins, a fellow militant, Wilkerson wrote. Robbins would later be killed while making a bomb.[8]In June 1969, the Weatherman took control of the SDS at its national convention, where Ayers was elected Education Secretary.[5] Later in 1969, Ayers participated in planting a bomb at a statue dedicated to riot police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket Riot confrontation between labor supporters and the police.”
“In 1970 he “went underground” with several associates after the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion, in which Weatherman member Ted Gold, Ayers’ close friend Terry Robbins, and Ayers’ girlfriend, Diana Oughton, were killed when a nail bomb (an anti-personnel device) they were assembling exploded. “
Patty Hearst who was actually kidnapped... served more time in jail than Ayers ever did.
to be fair nearly all the Weathermen has their start in the SDS earlier in the middle 60s ans some even earlier in the Civil rights and Freedom Rider days
many of the radicals were far older than college aged
but some of the girls were young
