My how the perspective changes with time
On cable news, an anchor just said that it's silly to be discussing "a supposed terrorist group from 40 years ago". He was talking about the Weathermen.
I realized I've heard several people on news shows dismiss this group as if they were an imaginary threat. I understand they are promoting their candidate and don't like this subject mentioned in connection with him. I agree it's probably too late to make a big deal about that connection when it comes to that candidate.
However, I remember the Weathermen - and they weren't "supposedly" at all. They bombed buildings, they killed several people in their terrorist activities (and claimed that the deaths were collateral damage and thus acceptable) and did a huge amount of damage to both private and government property. They allied themselves with the Black Panthers and the Black Liberation group.
Some of them went to prison - some went into hiding for years - and few of them have ever said they truly regretted the fear they caused and the lives they damaged or ended. How strange to see some of the leaders of that group now holding respected posts in large cities (Chicago) and rubbing elbows with top financial and political names. It's surreal to anyone who remembers that group and the vicious and violent acts they committed.
Ain't historical perspective great?
