This is my own writing.
In 1969, a guy named Bill Ayers
co-founded a terrorist organization called Weather Underground, whose founding document called for “
world communism.”
In 1969, Ayers
set off a bomb in Chicago at a statue that was dedicated to the city’s police. At the time of the explosion, no one was close enough to the statue to be killed. However, the explosion was so powerful that it broke almost 100 windows.
On March 6, 1970, three members of Weather Underground, including Diana Oughton (Ayers’s girlfriend) and Terry Robbins (Ayers’s close friend), were
killed when they accidentally, prematurely set off a bomb which they were in the process of building, in their townhouse in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. The explosion was so powerful that it
destroyed the entire four-story townhouse.
In 1970, Ayers
bombed the headquarters of the New York City Police Department.
In 1971, Ayers
bombed the United States Capitol building.
In 1972, Ayers
bombed the Pentagon.
Although charges were filed against Ayers for these bombings, the charges were later
dropped because law enforcement agents had conducted wiretaps and property searches without warrants.
In 1995, when Obama was running for state senator in Illinois, Obama
held a fundraiser in the living room of Bill Ayers’s home.
