Back in 1969 a group of 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's outside and put a bullet in his head.
Rackleys 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 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
Departments 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 as, like
Lee, a radical law student at Yale University at that time. Self proclaimed,
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.
