SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A saga that began in the violent cauldron of California's 1970s radical counterculture and took a dramatic turn into a quiet middle-class neighborhood in Minnesota is about to come to an end.

Sara Jane Olson, who was a fugitive for a quarter-century after attempting to kill Los Angeles police officers and participating in a deadly bank robbery near Sacramento as a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army, is scheduled to be released from a California prison next week.

There’s probably a senior leadership position ready for her in the new administration.

I was thinking the same. Maybe the Obamessiah can fill one of those empty positions in the Treasury Dept.

I was so glad, however, when she thought she was free a year ago, and then had to go back to the slammer, after a short taste of freedom.

Now that Freeman is out sounds like a great nomination for the head of National Intelligence Council!

If she participated in a crime that resulted in the loss of a human life, she can be paroled when the dead person(s) come back to life.

Probably a safe bet she’s one person who didn’t cheat on her taxes recently...

Wouldn't that disqualify her from an 0bama cabinet position?

No, they find their niche in education -- not teaching, but influencing policy. SLA, WU, BLA -- there's a whole list of murderers and bombers (and their progeny),  nesting like cockroaches in the system, like Ayers and Dohrn.

Yep. You do the time sentenced. You will still be able to get good time, but no parole, no halfway houses, nothin'.

Instead, Texas will divert the money waisted on parole and put it into probation and diversion programs.

It's based on a recidivism study that showed to 80% of parolees re-offend in the first year and an additional 12% re-offend within 2 years.

That’s not her name. It’s her alias. She’ll fit right back in on Grand Avenue in St. Paul like nothing ever happened. Interviews on NPR will follow. Almanac will gush. CCO will keep calling her Olson, doncha know.

LIberals probably know, but will never admit, that the reason so many criminals end up back in prison is because that is where they want to be.
They get released, and immediately start to look for their next crime victim so they can be put back inside, where they have free room and board and no responsibilities.
