Subject: FW: Justice?
The Black Panthers decided that a black man named
Alex Rackley needed to die. Rackley was a fellow Panther suspected of
disloyalty.
Rackley was first tied to a chair. Safely immobilized, his "friends"
tortured him for hours by, among other things, pouring boiling water on
him. When they got tired of torturing Rackley Black Panther member
Warren Kimbro took Mr. Rackley outside and put a bullet in his head.
Rackley's body was found floating in a river about 25 miles north of
New Haven, Conn.
Maybe at this point you're curious as to what happened to these Black Panthers.
Well, in 1977, that's only eight years later, only one of the
killers was still in jail. The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to get a
scholarship to Harvard. He later became an assistant dean at Eastern
Connecticut State College. Isn't that something?
As a 60s radical you can pump a bullet into someone's head, and years later, in the same
State, you can be an assistant college Dean. Only in America!
Ericka Huggins was the lady who served the Panthers by boiling the
water for Mr. Rackley's torture. Some years later Ms. Huggins was elected to
a California school board.
How in the world do you think that these killers got off so easy? Well,
maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two people who came to
the defense of the Panthers. These two people actually went so far as
to shut down Yale University with demonstrations in defense of the accused
Black Panthers during their trial.
One of those people was none other than Bill Lan Lee. Mr. Lee or Mr.
Lan Lee as the case may be, isn't a college dean. He isn't a member of a
California school board. He is the head of the U.S. Justice Department's
Civil Rights Division.
Lee is serving in that capacity illegally, by the way, but that's another story -
another part of the Clinton saga of ignoring the rule of law.
O.K., so who was the other Panther defender? Is this other notable
Panther defender now a school board member? Is this other Panther
apologist now an assistant college dean? Nope, neither. The other Panther
defender was, like Lee, a radical law student at Yale University at that time.
She is now known as "The Smartest Woman in the World". She is none
other than the unofficial Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate from the State of
New York -- our lovely First Lady, the incredible Hillary Rodham Clinton. |
