As the Gateway Pundit reported last night, the cop killer and escaped domestic terrorist Assata Shakur has died in Cuba.
Today, the same crowd that could not find a positive thing to say about Charlie Kirk after his assassination, celebrated the memory of Shakur, who was imprisoned for bank robbery, murder, and other crimes.
It is beyond stunning.
FOX News reported:
Chicago Teachers Union honors Black militant convicted cop-killer after death in Cuba, drawing backlash
The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) mourned the death of a convicted murderer on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists list in an X post Friday.
“Rest in Power, Rest in Peace, Assata Shakur,” the CTU’s post read. “Today we honor the life and legacy of a revolutionary fighter, a fierce writer, a revered elder of Black liberation, and a leader of freedom whose spirit continues to live in our struggle.
“Assata refused to be silenced. She taught us that ‘It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.’”
Cuban officials announced Friday that Shakur, who was born JoAnne Deborah Byron and was also known as Joanne Chesimard, died in Havana decades after escaping prison and fleeing to the communist nation.
In 1977, Shakur was convicted of the murder of State Trooper Werner Foerster during a 1973 shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike. Foerster left behind a wife and 3-year-old son. She escaped from prison in 1979 and lived underground before surfacing in Cuba in 1984.
Look at this.
Rest in Power, Rest in Peace, Assata Shakur. ️

There’s more. Here’s Rolling Stone magazine.
“I advocate an end to capitalist exploitation, the abolition of racist policies, the eradication of sexism, and the elimination of political repression. If that is a crime, then I am totally guilty.”

And more.
Here’s @JNelsonLDF, the president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund (supposedly a non-radical civil rights group), saying that cop killer Assata Shakur is an “example of undaunted resistance.”
What kind of resistance does she have in mind, pray tell? https://t.co/SUvp4rOpAO pic.twitter.com/WHUyvxJY0l
