I believe there is an 0bama/Black Panther connection going back to 0bama’s time at Columbia College, but can’t prove it.
According to a 1982 New York Times report, Broadway Baby was implicated in an investigation of a series of violent armed robberies in New York — netting more than $2 million over a two-year span — committed by former Black Panthers and Weather Underground members in the early ‘80s.
The manager of Broadway Baby at that time? - Bernardine Dohrn.
The Brinks murders, the ongoing roundup of the killers and the ensuing trial were all over the New York Papers, radio and TV from 1981 to 1984. Barack was living in New York that entire period, and Bill Ayers was attending Bank Street College which was about four blocks from Columbia.
0bama could not have escaped hearing about these events.
The question is — was he involved?
