Film seems to avoid examining what exactly may have happened in early March 1970 in the West Village when former Columbia SDS vice-chair Ted Gold was killed:.As the now-deceased longtime U.S. antiwar Movement organizer and 1969-1970 Chicago 8 "Conspiracy" Trial defendant Dave Dellinger recalled in his 1975-published book, More Power Than We Know, "shortly after the event, a private message from one of my underground Weathermen friends told me that Ted Gold…was killed only because he had been traumatized by a sudden realization of the horror they were preparing for their enemies and had come back to the house to try to persuade his associates to abandon the project." In addition, in his 1993-published autobiography, From Yale to Jail, Dellinger also wrote that "the message explained that they were making an anti-personnel bomb in the townhouse" and "that was what had upset Gold." As J. Kirk Sale indicated in his Apr. 13, 1970 Nation magazine article, "the details of what happened in this tragic explosion" that killed Ted, Diana Oughton and Terry Robbins "are still murky". According to Newsweek's March 23, 1970 "The House on 11th Street" article, after the first of three explosions that demolished the townhouse, "neighbors helped two young men over a backyard fence and saw a third escape by the same route." And in his 1973 book SDS, Sale also noted that "out through the back garden …at least three people…made their way over the walls into adjoining gardens" and "they immediately disappeared and were never identified." In addition, according to footnote 3 on page 260 of Professor Eckstein's 2016 Bad Moon Rising book, "Nina Herrick, who in March 1970 lived at 19 West 10th Street, and whose small backyard thus backs on the small backyard of the Wilkerson townhouse" told Eckstein in a Feb. 8, 2016 interview that "she and her husband heard the explosion and saw three people…running from the back of the townhouse and west toward Sixth Avenue." Yet Herrick also told Eckstein that "neither she nor any of her neighbors on West 10th Street were ever interviewed by the New York Police Department or the FBI."

[@lorenzosantinelli5408]

@@andrewhoyle1521 I agree with you, "different times require different measures"; the problem is that capitalism always evolved through time into something less criticizable, correctable and improvable - and at the same time, it has always better defended itself militarily. Therefore, the ruling class always played on offense and the rest of us on defense. This is why today violence perhaps turns out to be an improper weapon for us; but there remains a problem of violence inherent in the system of exploitation of man by man and of the planet's resources. And this explains why the concept of violence does not constitute a problem for me, except in the sense that it is used in a subtle way to divide us.

BLM is not for Africans, it's just there to further stir the pot

[@Stupid_you_so_stoopid_UHF]

Go start pulling names and see where they are now... people say it's otherwise and Igaf . These people are terrorists and they spread thier hatred in our educational system and indoctrinating our youths . We are basically at war with ourselves

[@ianbrown9082]

Yep! I saw the BLM shirt and thought "This guy actually thinks BLM exists to make black peoples lives better"...From then on I realised this guy's just another useful idiot who's being 'played' by the system that he claims to be so much against.

I was vaguely familiar with the radical group, but I take a great interest in meteorology & am a long time user of the weather website. This video initially caught my attention because I saw the phrase "weather underground" before actually reading the title. But to each their own.

Kathleen Soliah aka Sarah Jane Olson, hid here in MN for a while. At least she did some time. I'm sure her neighbors in the very liberal area she lived were surprised at her hiding among them and shocked she was actually punished.

[@matthewmitchell8941]

"Awhile?" Didn't she hide out for about 20years?

[@Stupid_you_so_stoopid_UHF]

It figures why we have such a idiot problem in Minnesota.

Umm her tail hid for 30 years. Long enough to have children, a husband and be in the community. She deserved all the time she got. Especially her return to prison when they let her out by accident

Anyone that tells you their gonna end racism don’t listen to that person. Racism will always be a part of life. It’s all about choice

[@rakkatytam]

The idea of choice is logically impossible. Our universe is defined by determinism, and it is impossible to conceive of one that is not.

[@janetjones3129]

From my experience, this video isn't completely truthful, especially the last 15 or 20 minutes. There are a lot of people that are brainwashed and some, on either sides of an issue, will gas light you. 🙄🤨

This is a US Middle Class Guilt Trip view. It's great that there are others elsewhere in the World that changed things peacefully but what else can you expect from the US. Look beyond,read Canadian Naomi Klein,there is another way.

For sure white ppl will use violence sooner than nonwhites who have felt the suppression more readily than whites, who are given and commit violence routinely from white groups with REAL power like cops and military.

It was a concerted effort by the youth of this country to turn on the country. They worked closely with the brotherhood of eternal love to help get the LSD trade out of the hands of the hells angels and back into the hands of the people who had good intentions for the youth. They had good ideas. They were just radical.aybe that's what was needed at the time.
