From an interview with Ayers and Dohrn at an Occupy rally:
"Imagine a world without war, a world without prisons..."
I despise Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn. They are violent criminals who organized the manufacture and detonation of bombs. If they had succeeded in their hard-left revolution, would have turned our nation into a communist hellhole. Ayers' most powerful bomb-- it prematurely exploded in a Greenwich Village townhouse on March 6, 1970 and killed the three people who were building it-- was probably intended to be detonated at a dance for young soldiers and their families who were graduating from basic training at Fort Dix in New Jersey. Ayers' bomb exploded when the three young Weather Underground bomb makers were wrapping nails in tape to create more deadly shrapnel.
Bill "World Without War" Ayers-- the most powerful member of the Weather Underground's "War Council"-- had even more sanguinary dreams. Ayers asserted in the 1970's that 25 million Americans would have to be killed to bring his revolution to power.
His lovely wife Bernadette Dohrn had a similar taste for blood. Informed of the gruesome murders of Sharon Tate and Leno and Rosmary LaBianca by Charles Manson's gang, Dohrn, in a speech during the December 1969 Weathermen"War Council" meeting, said "First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, then they even shoved a fork into the pig Tate's stomach! Wild!"
It was a common gesture of greeting in Ayers' and Dohrn's Weatherman circles to spread two fingers to signify the fork.
The appropriate address for these unrepentant thugs would be a private room without the amenities as the government's life-long guests in Florence Colorado. Yet by the grace of our forgiving (and naive) legal system, these b*astards are free and prospering.
You can see why Ayers would dream of a "world without prisons".
At least until he gets the power to be the jailer...
Whenever you find someone like Ayers, who is all for 'gun control' (ie disarming the public) and then in the next breath claims he wants to see the police demilitarized... you know you are dealing with a hypocrite and a liar.
ReplyDeleteThese two ideas are utterly at odds.
Add to this the guy is an advocate of violence (terrorism) and is an ardent leftist (ie an advocate of a police state)....
Myself?
I would like to see penal reform. There are too many people in prison that not only are not deserving of such a living hell, but also too many that ARE deserving who walk away scot free.
There are other more sensible means to deal with petty non-violent crimes than simply locking up the offender at the cost of the tax payer.
Like so many things in the modern age, I see this modern prison system as an industry - when it should be an institution.
I do not agree with militarising or federalizing the police forces.
Most of the cops I know agree (many of them former military).
We have a military and it is forbidden to engage the populace for the very same reason the police should not be made into a military force. I believe that idea is enshrined as 'Posse Comitatus' in the USA.
That said, I am for people retaining the means of defending themselves - the right to bare arms in that defence.
I am for common sense rule of COMMON LAW (ie back to the basics) being ENFORCED by a community based regional police force tasked with doing so.
PS
DeleteI did not know that about the Manson killings and the 'fork' thing. Utterly disgusting. How anyone can take an unrepentant piece of scum like that seriously baffles me.
Her first name is Bernadine not Bernadette. Silly errors like this make it difficult to take the writer seriously.
ReplyDeleteTake Ayers and Dohrn seriously, not me.
