WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - Heated protesters rallied outside the Lawson Science Building at Purdue, where controversial guest Bill Ayers spoke tonight.
Ayers former association with the radical group “The Weather Underground” sparked all the controversy.
That anti-war group is responsible for multiple bombings in the 1970s and a number of deaths as a result.
Hundreds of people came out to voice their outrage about Purdue University allowing Ayers to speak to faculty and students.
Anger, outrage and disgust fueled these protesters in their cause.
For Crimy Sakes he was the leader along with his wife Bernardine Dohrn!
"A founder of the Weatherman group, Dohrn was a member of the "Weather Bureau" (name later changed to "Central Committee"). Larry Grathwohl, an FBI informant who was with the Weatherman from autumn 1969 through spring 1970, considered her one of the two top leaders of the organization, along with Bill Ayers.[12]"
"During this period, the group organized the October 1969 Days of Rage riot in Chicago, which Dohrn led.[13] During the 1970s, the Weathermen bombed federal buildings and police stations.[14] Prior to the March 6, 1970 Greenwich Village townhouse explosion, in which three members of the group were killed as a bomb was being constructed, all members of Weatherman went underground. The group then changed its name to Weather Underground."
