It is a shame that this case has been ignored for so many years. It would be interesting to bring this to the attention of Attorney General Holder. Considering the way he dropped voter intimidation charges on the Panthers, he would probably also sweep this under the table. No justice in Justice.

There is some indication that Bill and Bernadine may have been involved in the police station bombing in San Francisco in 1970 -

Google Bill Ayers + San Francisco police station bombing.

I was working in a factory in the Mission District at the time, and remember the bombing. A police officer was killed. The police union in SF is still interested in pursuing this case if new evidence can be found.

Did Bill Ayers ever kill anyone?

Yes, and don't forget to investigate Bill Ayers' role in the San Francisco police station bombing.

The Black Panthers were officially disbanded in 1972 (that's according to Wikipedia). Despite everything, they'd largely achieved their objective with the integration of African-Americans into almost every major US police force. Many ex-members were angrier than ever and drifted into (or back into) various forms of criminality - I'm not sure you can blame the organisation or it's philosophy.

And by 1972, the Panthers were nothing but a shell, having been gutted 3 years earlier than that (1968/1969) with a series of shootings, some carried out by police, but the most effective carried out by the FBIs use of collusion. Other black criminals were armed and incited to kill Panthers. See Church Commission.

Strikingly, the British rejected the lessons of this period only months later in Northern Ireland. Collusion, which could have stopped the IRA in its tracks and saved up to 3,600 lives from terrorism (ie more than 911) was rejected as a policy and what very little went on is condemned as one of the worst things we did.

(Let me record that I think it pretty unlikely you'll publish this).

Why don't you write Eric Holder?
