U.S. woman leaving Peru after 20-year sentence for aiding rebels (Lori Berenson)

LIMA (Reuters) - Lori Berenson, a New Yorker once jailed in Peru for helping Marxist insurgents, is returning to the United States with her six-year-old son after finishing a 20-year sentence, her lawyer said Tuesday.

Berenson, 46, was making preparations to leave Peru "in coming hours," said Anibal Apari, her attorney and the father of her son. He declined to be more specific.

Apari and Berenson met in prison in 1997. He was also an inmate at the time.

Berenson was on parole for the past 5 years after spending 15 years in prison.

In 1996, Berenson was found guilty of supporting the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, or MRTA, a guerilla group active in the 1980s and 90s. She was never convicted of participating in violent acts.

There was another similar young woman in the late 80s who got booted from
El Salvidor after the police discovered a bunch of arms in 55 gallon drums buried in the backyard of the house she was renting.

Cant remember her name. She came back to the US and went on a whirlwind tour of college campuses attacking Reagan and US policy in Central America.

She came to our campus and the YAF chapter showed up and sandbagged her during the Q&A session following her canned rant.

She flipped out, started spewing serious Marxist stuff. Afterwards a classmate of mine said they saw people pulling the videotapes out of the cameras that filmed her and pulling the tapes apart.

There's something to be said about Peruvian slammers, all right.

At first, I thought the father of this perp's bebe would be Joran van der Sloot, still doing time in the Peruvian prison system for the deaths of Natalie Holloway and some Peruvian woman whom he got preggers while en la prision.

This Joran-Joran guy sure knows how to relieve the tedium of his lonely cell in the land of the Incas.

Why would she come back here? If she likes Marxism so much, shouldn’t she go to Cuba?

Why go to Cuba? We have a marxist, moslem, sodomite president right here in America.

She thought she could play commie in Peru. She’s from NYC and her parents are old Bolsheviks!

This is her in action back in the day, mouthing off at the court. I doubt that she's changed.

Be thankful you're not married to the Marxist shrew.

Will she be a featured speaker at the Democrat National Convention? Perhaps a foreign policy advisor to a future Democrat President.

She aided and abetted Marxist terrorists. She should’ve been executed.

Boy is she ugly, both inside and outside.

In the era of Lavrentiy Beria, of Soviet fame, she would be happy putting bullets in the back of people’s heads.

Much more of a dedicated communist than Corrie was (she was more a Palestinian syncophant from the Left but not an actual physical terrorism activist - that we know of. Pancakes can’t speak).

THe Maoist Shining Path movement of Peru was the Khmer Rouge of South America, period.

Anyone assisting them voluntarily deserved whatever happened to them.

Now the Democrats have another voter to register for 2016 (unless her conviction on terrorism charges nullifies her right to vote in America. However, under Obama and his thoroughly corrupted DOJ leadership, they will find a way to give her voting rights back).

Get ready to see her mug all over your television for the rest of your life. She’s going to be a darling of the left. She’ll start on Oprah, then get a gig on one of those The View shows, then she’ll get a regular gig interviewing international Marxists, dumb but opinionated celebrities and NY Times writers on MSNBC.

“She was never convicted of participating in violent acts.”

BS. She used press credentials to get inside and sketch Congress before an attack. She rented a safe house and it was filled with weapons.
When she was arrested she defiantly said they were not a terrorist group, they were revolutionaries.

Evil chick.
