Forgotten Facts
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.
