Here's an interesting long lost fact...
Forgotten Facts Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that
a fellow black named Alex Rackley needed to die. Rackley was a fellow
Panther suspected of disloyalty. Rackley was first tied to a chair. Once
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 Kimbo took Mr. Rackley
outside and put a bullet in his head. Rackley's body was later found
floating in a river about 25 miles north of New Haven, Conn.
Perhaps at this point you're curious as to what Happened to these
Black Panthers. 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 a few years later, in the
same state, you can become an assistant college dean! Only in America!
Erica 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 these
killers got off so easy? 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 these people was none other than Bill Lan Lee.
Mr. Lee, or Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn't a College
dean. He isn't a member of a California School Board. He is now head of the
US Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.
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?
No... Neither!
The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law student at
Yale University at the time. She is now known as the "smartest woman in
the world." She is none other than the unofficial Democratic candidate
for the US Senate from the state of New York
our lovely First Lady, the incredible Hillary Rodham Clinton.
