Marilyn Buck, a violent leftist incarcerated for 25 years for her role in some of the most notorious radical acts of the 1980s, including the bombing of the U.S. Capitol and a deadly armored car heist, has died in Brooklyn. She was 62.
On Oct. 20, 1981, she was part of a group of Weather Underground and Black Liberation Army members who ambushed a Brink's armored car carrying $1.6 million at a mall in Nanuet, N.Y. One guard was killed at the scene. A second was badly wounded. Two police officers were subsequently killed after they pulled over one of the getaway cars.
she helped Black Liberation Army leader Joanne Chesimard, who had been convicted of killing a New Jersey state trooper, escape from prison and flee to Cuba in 1979. Buck also was implicated in another armored car robbery in 1981 in which a guard was killed.

Please, I'm almost 61. 62 is not a "ripe old age".
But I agree with the general sentiment. Better her career had been nipped in the bud, with extreme prejudice, rather than went on to kill and maim, and then be supported by the taxpayers until she died.
Will flags be orderd to be flown at half staff? Will BHO attend the funeral? Will Professors Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn?
I can guess the name of at least one of them.
Somewhat out of character for today’s AP to use the phrase “violent leftist”, even when, as in this case, that description is valid. Wonder if this AP writer will be called on the carpet for it.

Incredible. Despicable and unnerving.
Its definitely an editorial change, IMHO.
Obama is no longer completely the darling of the left.
Why? Obama is revealing his fascist colors too quickly, he has failed to keep them hidden enough to suit the lefts agenda of usurpation of our Republic.They are putting the brakes on for the election in November. This began with the Waters/Rangel ethics charges which has split the Black Caucus, and offended many leftists.
We need to take advantage of the split and make it permanent.
Really? It's a mystery as to why she was released from FEDERAL custody and by whom?
It’s obvious. She was released from prison because she had cancer and died 2 or 3 weeks after release.
About 40 years ago.
Interesting thought. The left is constantly projecting their warts onto conservatives. So now, when the MSM is declaring that the Tea Party movement is imploding, it’s really the left which is engaged in a civil war.
The left has overstepped its own Obama game plan. They are consuming each other as we speak. I am applauding and asking the “Repelicans” to add fuel to the fire!
The Tea party is doing fine, it has a cadre of Tea Party black folk laying it to the Onama left so hart you can hear the Washington thwacks all the way to Seattle.
We are winning this battle, with Obama at 48% approval and 60% of Ameircans believing the WON was not born in the United States.
The gutless Repelicans need to pounce, but they are just intoning humble words like, “OMG! We are next...HIDE!”
I can hardly wait to see Sarah chime in this coming week. This situation is custom made for her and Jan Brewer.A lot of political mileage is about to be made.
