Susan Rosenberg in 1984, on her way to arraignment.
She will soon begin teaching at New York's Hamilton College.
Here is a link to a press release issued by Hamilton College regarding Ms. Rosenberg's temporary teaching job:

If Hamilton College does not offer me a faculty position immediately, they are trampling on my free speech rights!
What up is down and what down is up.
We're not so far from Clinton. I can't understand these LIBERAL arts schools hiring these kinds of thugs. It's beyond me. Wouldn't surprise me if our school also did something like that. There are a bunch of alums and students who want to do away with interdisciplinary programs like Women's Studies and Africana Studies, etc. They don't want our school to buy up all the fraternities either, which is their plan. I don't know how I really feel about that but I do know that fraternities have always had problems. It wouldn't be a bad thing to have them under university control for a number of reasons. Underage drinking is only one of them.
"Authorities decided not to prosecute in the Brinks case because they got enough time behind bars for her on the weapons charges."
That opened the door for Clinton. Should have tried her with the Brinks case, too. I don't know how strong their case was against her for that, but that would have meant a murder conviction.
Of course, Clinton could still pardon her, no matter what the conviction.

Clinton and 60 Minutes Help a Terrorist
By Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid | February 12, 2001
Bill Clinton's last minute pardons included drug traffickers, killers, an accused spy and a terrorist. The latter may be the most interesting because it appears that the popular CBS 60 Minutes program may have played a role in springing her from jail. Last December 14th, 60 Minutes aired a story narrated by Morley Safer on how Susan Rosenberg was linked to a 1981 robbery of a Brinks armored car that resulted in the murders of two policemen and a security guard. After she was caught, she proclaimed, "Long live the armed struggle." Rosenberg was a member of the Weather Underground, a Communist terrorist organization. She was sentenced to 58 years in prison, after she and a companion were found with 740 pounds of dynamite and weapons, including a machine gun. Authorities decided not to prosecute in the Brinks case because they got enough time behind bars for her on the weapons charges. This is the woman whose sentence has been commuted by Clinton, a president who claimed to be for gun control.

Could she be any worse at teaching than Harvard prof. Jesse Ventura?
"Destructive Generation" by Peter Collier and David Horowitz is a great read on the delusional Left of the 70s. Chapter Two, titled "Doing It" gives a great insight as to how these really messed-up people thought and acted.
If you are a failed Leftist, you still have job security - if not in the newsroom, then at the universities.
Outraged bump.
