Marilyn Buck, a violent leftist incarcerated for 25 years for her role in some of the most notorious radical acts of the 1980s, including the bombing of the U.S. Capitol and a deadly armored car heist, has died in Brooklyn. She was 62.

On Oct. 20, 1981, she was part of a group of Weather Underground and Black Liberation Army members who ambushed a Brink's armored car carrying $1.6 million at a mall in Nanuet, N.Y. One guard was killed at the scene. A second was badly wounded. Two police officers were subsequently killed after they pulled over one of the getaway cars.

she helped Black Liberation Army leader Joanne Chesimard, who had been convicted of killing a New Jersey state trooper, escape from prison and flee to Cuba in 1979. Buck also was implicated in another armored car robbery in 1981 in which a guard was killed.

Marilyn is dead. Ayers is a “respected” professor. Obama is in our White House. It’s amazing how differently life can turn out by chance for people who are so similar in character.

My idea for an appropriate head stone:

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Buck discovered leftist politics as a student at the University of California, Berkeley, then joined the Students for a Democratic Society ...with the Black Liberation Army

I hope they give her a Christian burial. What’s that? She’s an Atheist? All the better!

[ConorMacNessa]

You're more charitable than I - Stick a bone up her ass and let the dogs drag her away!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

I was kinda’ hoping BFI would handle the arrangements.

[Sixgun Symphony]

It’s a shame that she lived to such a ripe old age. Better had she been shot by police at the start of her criminal career as a marxist.

[2ndDivisionVet]

BFI? Why would Biden bury her? (Big F**king Idiot, that is...)

[hinckley buzzard]

And in Brooklyn tonight, the air is just slightly less polluted. May wild pigs root among her bones.

[Outlaw Woman]

What’s that? She’s an Atheist?

Not anymore...

[jazusamo]

The sad thing about this is she didn’t die in prison.

[STONEWALLS]

...there’s something about white lefty chicks who sleep with black guys...they’re screwed up, and they have screwed up kids.

[COBOL2Java]

Will Obama order flags flying at half-mast?

A good Red is a dead Red.

She died August 3 http://theragblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/mariann-g-wizard-poetpolitical-prisoner.html I wonder what took the AP so long.

Have the Obamas, Ayres, and Dohrn indicated if they will be attending her funeral?

[Jack Hydrazine]

That would be funny to find out where her grave will be located and set one of those up in the middle of the night. The Leftist media prostitutes will be so incensed they’ll talk about it for at least a week.

“For the rest of her life, Buck insisted she was a victim of state oppression.”

As is a good progressive is a dead progressive....
