“Turned to Life of Service After Killing,” the startling headline in my N.Y. Times says today, over its tender obituary of Warren Kimbro, former Black Panther, who has died at 74. The opening paragraph alone is an unsatirizable classic:
Warren Kimbro, who as a fledgling member of the Black Panther Party shot and killed a suspected police informer in New Haven in 1969, prompting a series of trials that made national headlines, but who later earned a Harvard degree and became a respected community leader, died in New Haven on Tuesday.
No word if he ever visited Leonard Bernstein at his apartment. Or if Bill Ayers reached out to him.

If Alex Rackley had been tortured to death by the Klan, do you suppose that when one of those Klansmen died, that he would get such an obituary? The foot-soldiers of the Left know that no matter how much evil they do, when they die, they will be remembered fondly by the NY Times.

Leonard Bernstein catching flak from the mau maus.
my folks took me to those sort of gatherings around 1970-ish. it was romantically grim back then, now it is even grimmer, the dull humor of the Rubins and hoffmans is gone, replaced by a metallic cackle concerning who whom. but they cant separate their private pursuit of the glorious hundreds of thousands with their social engineering goals-- it is all intertwined in their minds. "Pull myself up, pull my bros up; push the flak catchers down as far as squishably possible"
they are playing for keeps.
motto:
the squeaky heel gets the grease.

Why wasn't that murderer executed? That way the New York Pravda (sorry, I meant Times) would not have had the chance to print that valedictory obituary for the racist thug.

Reminds me of Chris Matthews giving Bill Ayers a pass for the murderous acts of the anti-war group, Weather Underground-- because he agreed with their cause.
