His father and mother were involved in terrorist bombings
- perl4ever 5y agoDetails seem to be lacking on the Wikipedia pages for his parents. Did the bombings injure anyone? How were his parents involved, and how did he defend their actions? It just says (on David Gilbert's page) "Most Weather members were not prosecuted and did not serve time in prison, despite having been sought by the police for years; police misconduct led to the dropping of many charges (see: COINTELPRO)" Everybody's heard of COINTELPRO, right? Every thread like this, the anti-Boudin stuff sounds like the sort of propaganda they did back in the day. They didn't like MLK Jr. either.
