Rest in Power, Rest in Peace, Assata Shakur.
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Today we honor the life and legacy of a revolutionary fighter, a fierce writer, a revered elder of Black liberation, and a leader of freedom whose spirit continues to live in our struggle. Assata refused to be silenced.
She taught us that “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

This is from the Chicago Teachers Union, who the Mayor of Chicago is trying to bankrupt the city for.
If you ever wonder about the state of education, its because people who support talking like this about a cop murderer who escaped jail, educate kids.
At 12:45 a.m. on May 2, 1973, Trooper James M. Harper, assigned to the New Brunswick station on the New Jersey Turnpike, stopped a Vermont registered vehicle approximately 200 yards south of the New Brunswick station. Trooper Foerster, patrolling nearby, backed-up Trooper Harper.
Trooper Harper approached the vehicle and asked the driver for his Driver's License and Registration. Noting a discrepancy in the registration, the driver was asked to step out of his vehicle. The driver was then questioned by Trooper Foerster as Trooper Harper went to question the other occupants.
Shots were fired from within the vehicle at the troopers. There was an exchange of gunfire. In the exchange, Trooper Harper was wounded in the left shoulder and arm. Trooper Foerster was found near his patrol car, deceased. He died from multiple gunshot wounds to his chest sometime between 12:30 a.m and 1:30 a.m.
Trooper Foerster served two years and 10 months with the New Jersey State Police.
Trooper Foerster was survived by his wife and a 3 year-old son. He was 34 years old.
Too Bad for Shakur she fled to communist Cuba. She probably would have been pardoned and been rewarded like other terrorists like Bill Ayers were with taxpayer funded jobs educating kids.
As one of our members here recently said: "You can't mourn everybody."
And some deaths are the price of the Second Amendment.
The CTU is like the KKK with an almost unlimited budget
Oh, so it's like the current administration..
She was a revolutionary in a domestic terrorist group who robbed banks, killed cops and set off bombs. She participated in the murder of a cop. People who mourn her and not Kirk hate America.
I think that is a fair assessment.
I wonder how leftists here would react if we right leaning posters constantly called her a communist, , accusing her of things she did not do and say she deserved death because she was a revolutionary.
They would lose their shit and do their go to and call us nazis, fascists, white supremacists, Hitler, and accuse Trump for her natural death.
Called her a Communist? (I have no idea if she’s an actual Communist or not, but in this case that might not be inaccurate?). 🤓
We have nothing to lose but our chains

NT Surprise Pop Quiz: That’s the second part of a very famous quote. Does anyone here recognize who said it first? (And does anyone here know the first part of the quote?)

Another example of how the left treats terrorists and political violence. Elected congressmen didn’t praise Timothy mcveigh when he was executed. As the reaction to Kirk’s death shows, the celebration of domestic terrorism is perfectly acceptable to most on the far left. It’s not their fringe.
The democrats can't even manage to show empathy for a public figure who was gunned down. Many of them (118 House members) refused to sign onto a basic statement of sympathy for the family of Charlie Kirk, yet Republicans all signed onto a similar gesture for the democrat Speaker of the Minnesota Legislature were gunned down. The House immediately passed a sympathy statement. The vote was 424-0.
hard to believe they can't exercise such a modicum of decency.
