Bill Ayers justifies bombings as merely "property damage"

[Kevin_Kennedy]

Left-wing radical Terry Robbins, who died making explosives for Weather Underground, appears to be the strongest connection Kent State University shares with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, who played a starring role in last weekend’s commemoration of a 1970 riot that saw four Kent State students killed at the hands of the Ohio National Guard.

Ayers, a co-founder of Weather Underground once pursued by the FBI while the terrorist wing of the socialist Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) conducted a series of domestic bombings intended to “disrupt the empire,” was invited to the weekend-long event at the public university by the May 4th Task Force.

Robbins, one of three Weather Underground members who died in a March 6, 1970 explosion while assembling bombs in a Greenwich Village apartment, was instrumental in orchestrating Vietnam War protests at Kent State. The bomb that killed Robbins also killed Ayers’s then-girlfriend, and was allegedly destined for a dance at Fort Dix in New Jersey.

Bill Ayers?s Connection to Kent State is a Detonated Fellow Terrorist | Media Trackers Ohio

The relevant portion:

During his May 4 keynote at the Kent State event, Ayers called U.S. veterans war criminals, insisted he is “against violence,” shrugged off Weather Underground’s terrorism as “property damage,” and claimed his group’s terror attacks in protest of the Vietnam War had “no relationship at all” to the recent jihadist bombings at the Boston Marathon.

Now I'm not opposed to letting him speak or anything of the sort, but there is never any justification for blowing things up and trying to justify it as merely "property damage" seems rather insane to me. Simply put, if you think bombing things is alright then you have no moral high ground when it comes to government violence.

I'm glad I skipped Kent's May 4th commemorations this year if they had this kind of sociopath speaking, and am even more glad to be finished with them altogether.

Every time I hear this it makes me want to puke. Shows you the type of personality disorder he has, being able to distance himself from those of his own group that were killed, as well as the police officers, and the fact if they hadn't been inept (fortunate to so many they were) many would have died.

So his bombing attacks were bombings of the good kind?

Apparently.

So the Times Square bomber whose bomb didn't go off because of an alert street vendor and the bomb squad has a defense...

"hey I made a bomb but it didn't go off"....

I should go free?...

What's the difference between Bill Ayers and Tim McVeigh? McVeigh was executed.

And Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice justify bombing and blowing to pieces innocent Iraqi men, women and children, torture and rape as collateral damage.

Bill did not kill anyone. He saved lives by protesting the Vietnam war atrocities, Tim did and you think it would be fair to execute Bill who was never found guilty of anything? That's what you call justice?

The bombings were only to send an equal message that we send the innocent Vietnamese. It was meant to terrorize this government like we terrorized Vietnamese.

The most radical elements during the 1960s showed the American public that the government had crossed the line during the Vietnam War. The line being the point at which Americans would no longer tolerate government sponsored VIOLENCE against human beings (wherever they lived).

To drive that point home, these radicals used violence themselves. In other words until Americans witnessed violence in their own country, they would not understand the impact that squadrons of B-52s carpet bombing Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos had upon the innocent people in those countries.
But as today's new cycle proves, unless you do something so radical as bomb gov't buildings you won't get the media's
So in conclusion, the actions of Bill Ayers, the Weather Underground and others helped turn the tide against the war in Vietnam, helped rid the US of the draft, and probably saved thousands if not hundreds of thousands of lives, American and foreign.

Come to your senses LOL> 42% of democrats authorized the Bush administration to use combat Troops to enforce about a hundred UN sanctions in Iraq. Bill Clinton ordered the bombing of an innocent European country into the stone age to shift focus from his strange sexual urges.

So does Obama. Regardless, Ayers has no leg to stand on when it comes to criticizing government violence, when he's done it, and still justifies it, himself.

Using violence to protest violence means you're just as bad as those you're protesting.

If "LilOlLady" is NOT on one of the terrorist watch lists, she SHOULD be.

This POS is obviously an ENEMY of the United States.

Ayers is guilty of felony murder for his part in the the deaths of his comrades who were killed during the commission of a felony which was the making of a bomb which testimony indicates was intended for Ft. Dix Soldiers. It isn't clear how a single judge could dismiss several hundred felonies and turn Ayers loose because of some alleged FBI surveillance mistakes. Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist and clearly he is still considered a hero to the revolutionaries who supported domestic terrorism. If they rounded up all the Ayers supporters like they did the Boston bombers there wouldn't be a left wing radical over 60 alive today who didn't have a criminal record.

If they rounded up all the Ayers supporters like they did the Boston bombers, Barack Obama and most of his "inner circle" would all be taking a "perp walk" to jail right now.

They were operating on false info fed them from the bush administration. Even Powell finally figured out he was being used by these lying bush scumbags. When are you "conservatives" going to stop sticking up for lying murdering skunks just because they're republican? I blame Obama also. He would've had our country and actually most of the civilized world behind him if he would have investigated the bush administration Iraqwmd war for profit scam and especially torture which bush even admitted doing.

Round up supporters on what charge?
