Holy shit, her Wikipedia article is something to read.
she was convicted of the first-degree murder of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster during a shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike in 1973. She escaped from prison in 1979 and was wanted by the FBI, with a $1 million reward for information leading to her capture, and an additional $1 million reward offered by the New Jersey attorney general. She was never caught and remained a fugitive for 45 years.
In 2013, the FBI announced it had added Shakur to its list of ‘Most Wanted Terrorists’, the first time that a woman was so designated. The reward for her capture and return was doubled to $2 million.
I’ll don’t feel like saying anything too radical, so I guess I’ll just end my post here. It speaks for itself.
Here’s a part you left out:
Shakur was identified as a political prisoner as early as October 8, 1973, by Angela Davis, and in an April 3, 1977, The New York Times advertisement purchased by the Easter Coalition for Human Rights. An international panel of seven jurists were invited by Hinds to tour a number of U.S. prisons, and concluded in a report filed with the United Nations Commission on Human Rights that the conditions of her solitary confinement were “totally unbefitting any prisoner”. Their investigation, which focused on alleged human rights abuses of political prisoners, cited Shakur as “one of the worst cases” of such abuses and including her in “a class of victims of FBI misconduct through the COINTELPRO strategy and other forms of illegal government conduct who as political activists have been selectively targeted for provocation, false arrests, entrapment, fabrication of evidence, and spurious criminal prosecutions”.
Your support for the regime has been noted.
Clearly I left out a lot of important things. I just realized I’ve been ignorant to many things for a long time, including how I always genuinely assumed the FBI most wanted list was reserved for actually dangerous people, not old ladies who committed a crime 40 years ago and are ideological enemies of the fascist state.
Inspirational. Fuck ICE, come and take me!!
