He made the FBI's most wanted list and was convicted of leading a revolutionary group responsible for a trail of bloodshed, including the slayings of an armed guard and two New York police officers. But after serving half his prison sentence, Mutulu Shakur might soon be a free man.

The 65-year-old, stepfather to the late rapper Tupac Shakur, is eligible for mandatory parole after serving 30 years of the 60-year sentence he was given in 1988 for masterminding a string of deadly armed robberies in New York and Connecticut committed by a militant political group known as "The Family."

I think that was Ayers and Dohrn and some of their merry band of followers.

William Ayers says Weather Underground, Boston ... www.foxnews.com/.../william-ayers-says-weather-und... Fox News Channel

May 6, 2013 - Ayers defends actions, rejects comparison to Boston bombers ... when a bomb they were making in a Greenwich Village townhouse exploded. ... and future wife Bernadine Dohrn set the bomb that killed San Francisco Park Police Sgt. Brian McDonnell in 1970

If he doesn’t get parole this time, don’t be surprised if Obama pardons this man early next January. That will be but one of many ‘middle fingers to the disbelievers’ as goodbye gift.

If you mean "The Weathermen", it was in in Greenwich Village in NYC.

A townhouse (yeah, yeah, it can be called a row house...)

And I think Dustin Hoffman was the next door neighbor at the time.

Huh, I wonder if it made that "Fear Thy Neighbor" show on the ID channel.

When Ayers retired as a "professor", his school was going to award him some honor.

A former cop from the time that had had his hand blown off disposing of one of Ayers & Co's. bombs showed up to argue against the award, and the optics weren't good for the school at that point.

Tu-Pac was from South Central, right?

No, he was from tony Marin County, one of the most pittoresque parts of the SF Bay Area.

Guess who is from Compton?
