The mastermind behind the murderous 1981 Brinks robbery in which two Nyack police officers and an armored car guard were killed was released for health reasons from federal prison on Friday after nearly 38 years behind bars.

Mutulu Shakur, 72, known mostly as the stepfather of slain rapper Tupac Shakur and brother of fellow Black Liberation Army member Joanne Chesimard, had been denied parole since 2016 and earlier in 2022. He is terminally ill.

Based on his health, the U.S. Parole Commission granted his early release from a 60-year sentence effective Friday after 442 months behind bars, according to a document released to The Journal News/lohud.com.

The commission had granted Mutulu Shakur parole on Nov. 10 following an October hearing.

A federal judge had sentenced Shakur, who led the Black Liberation Army and the Republic of New Afrika movement, to prison in 1988 for operating a criminal enterprise, including a string of armed robberies like Rockland Brinks in 1981, among other charges.

I wish death on no one**

BTW ex SF DA Chesa Boudin was named for this POS's sister.
One thing that sticks out about this incident, besides the atrocity of it all, this crime was committed with ILLEGALLY OBTAINED FIREARMS yet not one peep of outrage from the gun grabbers of the day. Nothing from Handgun Control Inc, the Brady Bunch or any hack politicians and a-hole celebs.
The same ones who were still outraged over the murder of John Lennon a year earlier were conspicuous by their silence over this. That's when I realized how the left thinks they're slick when it comes to picking and choosing their battles, as well as, intentionally or not, exposing their true agendas.
I know, I know, I was taught that if you can't say anything nice about someone don't say anything at all. I'll say something nice about this scumbag. He's gonna croak soon. That's effing nice

Enjoy hell.

Wonder how the victims' families feel about this.

Nyack Police Officer Waverly "Chipper" Brown, left, and Sgt. Edward O'Grady were murdered Oct. 20, 1981, at a Nyack roadblock during robbery of a Brinks truck.

The gunmen had killed Brinks guard Peter Paige at the former Nanuet Mall when stealing $1.6 million from the armored car. His partner, Joseph Trombino, was seriously wounded.

Such a great group of rappers and criminals for young black fatherless youths to look up to.

The liberals are still in love with cop killer POS Mumia Abu Jabar

The lives of two Nyack police officers and an armored car guard are worth about 20 years in sentenced prison time each and 12 years 3 months each in time actually served.

Great timing! He’ll shortly get his $300,000 reparation payment.

[Jim Noble]

He’s “terminally ill”?

Could someone please post the death certificate in the next six months?

Somehow I suspect we’ll be hearing from him twenty years from now.

The only way this makes sense is so that the bureau of prisons doesn’t have to foot the medical bills and this POS gets to doend Tupac’s money to keep himself above ground.

A 60 year sentence should be 60 years. If anyone doesn’t last that long, they are lucky. Being released early isn’t fair to the families of victims and not fair to Shakur. He’s walking out to a completely foreign world, unable to provide for himself. So much has changed since he was free. Being in prison for that long guarantees he is institutionalized. He has no idea how to act in the world that he can’t even recognize. In a way, that’s almost inhumane.

Gangsta rap is shit.

[ronnie raygun]

Awe, health reasons, so compassionate for a murdering bastard. He should have been fried years ago but he’s black and protected

Gangsta rap is shit.
