All of your posting is a joke and not taking this criminal serious.
Believe me back in this era this was very serious. You apparently are
not old enough to remember or was not even born yet.



Ayers and his wife are living quietly now in Hyde park. He should not
be teaching young people. He should not even be running free. He
should be in prison.


"Ayers became involved in the New Left and the Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS).[7] He rose to national prominence as an SDS leader in
1968 and 1969. As head of an SDS regional group, the "Jesse James Gang",
Ayers made decisive contributions to the Weatherman orientation toward
militancy.[5]The group Ayers headed in Detroit, Michigan became one of
the earliest gatherings of what became the Weatherman. Between the 1968
Democratic National Convention in Chicago and the June 1969 SDS
convention, Ayers became a prominent leader of the group, which arose as
a result of a schism in SDS.[5]"During that time his infatuation with
street fighting grew and he developed a language of confrontational
militancy that became more and more pronounced over the year [1969]",
disaffected former Weatherman member Cathy Wilkerson wrote in 2001.
Ayers had previously become a roommate of Terry Robbins, a fellow
militant, Wilkerson wrote. Robbins would later be killed while making a
bomb.[8]In June 1969, the Weatherman took control of the SDS at its
national convention, where Ayers was elected Education Secretary.[5]
Later in 1969, Ayers participated in planting a bomb at a statue
dedicated to riot police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket Riot
confrontation between labor supporters and the police.[9] The blast
broke almost 100 windows and blew pieces of the statue onto the nearby
Kennedy Expressway.[10] (The statue was rebuilt and unveiled on May 4,
1970, and blown up again by other Weathermen on October 6, 1970.[11][10]
Rebuilding it yet again, the city posted a 24-hour police guard to
prevent another blast.[10]) Ayers participated in the Days of Rage riot
in Chicago in October 1969, and in December was at the "War Council"
meeting in Flint, Michigan. Larry Grathwohl, an FBI informant in the
Weatherman group from the fall of 1969 to the spring of 1970, thought
that "Ayers, along with Bernardine Dohrn, probably had the most
authority within the Weatherman".[12]

Years underground
In 1970 he "went underground" with several associates after the
Greenwich Village townhouse explosion, in which Weatherman member Ted
Gold, Ayers' close friend Terry Robbins, and Ayers' girlfriend, Diana
Oughton, were killed when a nail bomb (an anti-personnel device) they
were assembling exploded. Kathy Boudin and Cathy Wilkerson survived the
blast. Ayers was not facing criminal charges at the time, but the
federal government later filed charges against him.[2]Ayers participated
in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, the United
States Capitol building in 1971, and The Pentagon in 1972, as he noted
in his 2001 book, Fugitive Days. Because of a water leak caused by the
Pentagon bombing, aerial bombardments during the Vietnam War had to be
halted for several days. Ayers writes:
Although the bomb that rocked the Pentagon was itsy-bitsy - weighing
close to two pounds - it caused 'tens of thousands of dollars' of
damage. The operation cost under $500, and no one was killed or even
hurt. [13]
While underground, he and fellow member Bernardine Dohrn married, and
the two remained fugitives together, changing identities, jobs and
locations. By 1976 or 1977, with federal charges against both fugitives
dropped due to prosecutorial misconduct (see COINTELPRO), Ayers was
ready to turn himself in to authorities, but Dohrn remained reluctant
until after she gave birth to two sons, one born in 1977, the other in
1980. "He was sweet and patient, as he always is, to let me come to my
senses on my own", she later said.[2] The couple turned themselves in to
authorities in 1980. Ayers and Dohrn later became legal guardians to the
son of former Weathermen David Gilbert and Kathy Boudin after the boy's
parents were convicted and sent to prison for their part in the Brinks
Robbery of 1981.[14]"
