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 Goldwas 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 peoplemade 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 peoplerunning 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.

But no this, the same individuals are now in our government. The Democrats. Actually, they consider themselves democratic socialist. Not quite communist, but when they become communist theyll kill millions as well. Dont believe me? Look it up.

Living with all of Ayers influence this world has gotten much worse. I still remember when his people (Weather Underground) bombed the police station just down the street where I lived in SF and killed innocent police officers. I remember the racist violent attacks from blacks at an early age because of Ayers influence into the black communities via black panthers. Ayers is a dangerous man and he has his part in creating more racism and racial supremacy. He is part of the reason why normal Americans know the communist like Ayers is dividing this country.

Bill Ayers is such a liar. His babies down the river scenario with the difference of the liberal and the radical. First the liberal doesnt want to save the baby. The liberal wants to abort the baby so it doesnt come down the river. The radical doesnt ask why are the babies coming down the river. The radical doesnt ask questions. The radical assumes a moral superiority and looks to destroy the people who are having babies. The logic on the left seeks to do one thing. Destroy!

I would like to see Bill Ayers response to the recall of Chesa Boudin and the mess that San Francisco has become. While youre at it ask Nancy Pelosi how she can manage the house when she cant even manage her district. Oh thats right she cant get the progressives to back down from their money grab projects. The Left doesnt understand that the way they see and do things leads to one thing. Destruction. And people dont want destruction. They wast prosperity.

I believe the speech at the end of the documentary is by Bernardine Dohrn. Every single word out of her mouth is that of a Revolutionary Marxist trained by professors who are students of the Frankfurt School. Disgusting, evil and destructive ideologies that actually are more oppressive and suppressive than the systems they want to overthrow.

The only difference between Bill Ayers and the unibomber is idiology, now that this garbage of a human being is somehow free he should move to China or Venezuela to live his communist dream instead of trying to ruin the American experience for everyone else, somehow he still doesn't realize he is vastly outnumbered.

TO THOSE HERE WHO VILIFY THE WU: dems and gop unite to sustain domestic AND foreign authoritarianism.
While I think any violence can have counterproductive consequences, it's also historically true that violence has played a role in most systemic changes, whether we 'like/ accept' the tactic or not

Reading the comments breaks my heart. So many with little understanding of the times. Little empathy for others. Little awareness of cultural influence on human lives. Being wrong in methods does not negate all the ideas for change that were so abundant in the youth of those decades.

I think it would have been informational to also talk about the others - the remainder of those in SDS, the Worker-Student Alliance. SDS split into two groups: the Weathermen and the Worker-Student Alliance.

this entire Documentary is just a Propaganda piece of the Weathermen, if these people had been Right Wing and White Supremacist they'd have been Demonized whether they were Violent or not.

Bill Ayers and his comrades have an immensely distorted view of the world. They were evil and continue to be evil. He should be in jail for the bombings he participated in.

We have never been a democracy. Democracy is totalitarian/Authoritarian (Mob rule) The biggest threat to our constitutional republic is the new communist democrat party.
