Students 'Love' Cop Killer Honored at New York College
2006-12-13
And they wonder why NY cops who're about to be run-over decide to fire at the driver.
NEW YORK — New York City college students who share a community room named for an escaped cop killer called the fugitive their hero Tuesday as the school's officials demanded the removal of the honor.

A handful of campus groups at the City College of New York commended the school for allowing them to work in the name of domestic "terrorist" Assata Shakur, ...
(Link to her blog. Honest. Where she associates herself with Mumia, of course.)
... now believed to be hiding in Cuba.
Love the "scare quotes" Sara... Symp.
"We know that many Black people that fought for better conditions in the 70's were framed," the groups said in a statement released to FOXNews.com. "We consider Assata Shakur to be one of the people who were wrongfully and purposefully framed for her activities.
Activites. Like murder, perhaps? Oh yeah, she's a fucking hero.
"And we consider her a hero and role model for standing up for our people and putting her life on the line."
Sane people realize you've just desribed the police... except for that racist "our people" bit, of course.

#8  What do you expect when they (and their professors) paint Che Guevara, Castro's executioner who had a special window placed in his office so he can watch executions, as some sort of hero? He was a cold blooded murderer.

#5  "If you look at it at face value and think about what she did, it might seem wrong, but I think you really have to, like, look beyond the whole thing with the cops to really understand, like, where she's coming from," said Orlando Ayala, a 24-year-old senior.

College: It's, like, worth it.
You want, like, fries with that?

#3  Hey, if these kids don't like cops, maybe the NYPD can arrange to stop responding to calls on their campus. Everyone wins!

#2  One can only hope the students learn critical thinking before they graduate.

#1  ...Has anyone seen the 'five truths' these idiots are babbling about that 'prove' Shakur's innocence? FoxNews ran the statement but didn't include 'em...
