Your entire final paragraph is quite hilarious. Especially someone schooled in Alabama. I can only imagine what you learned in history class…
You're dodging answering my question. What about a terrorist murdering a cop and a teacher's union honoring her do you find amusing? Why would going to school in Alabama have anything to do with it? Every time you've tried to have a go at me over history, you've gotten demolished. You really want to try again?
I’ve wasted enough time on you. But go ahead and continue to pretend that you care about the educational system in this country. If it were up to you, the public school system wouldn’t exist and the only people getting educated would be wealthy whites.
Ahh, another idiotic dodge and refusal to respond adequately to me calling you out for a stupid take. Making up complete lies and stupid BS to dodge the question is an inadequate response. Now, you thought the murder of a cop by a terrorist and a radical leftist teacher's union honoring the murderer was funny. Defend that. Explain. Don't change the subject. Don't attack me for posting the article. Refute the facts of the article or shut the fuck up with your childish, bitter, low character, weirdo BS. There's a reason - several of your warped posts - that half the board thinks of you as a weirdo with some serious issues.
I’ve already answered your questions, dumbass. I’m not Toronto. I don’t care about arguing with you. It’s boring. You have the same asinine retorts to everything. If I wanna laugh at your attempts to provoke, then I’ll do just that.
No, you absolutely did not answer my question. You laughed at a post about a terrorist killing a cop 50 years ago, escaping prison and living her life in peace - something she denied the cop she murdered - and a radical left teacher's union honoring and praising her. I asked you what you found amusing or honorable about that, and you've dodged, spun, changed the subject, attacked me for posting the OP, and dodged some more. What you most definitely HAVE NOT done is explain your warped, low character, weirdo take in finding such a story funny. Your're stupid. You don't learn. Now, answer the question. Defend your finding it humorous. Don't spin. Don't dodge. Don't change the subject. Don't weasel away. Explain why you think it was funny or admit you're a lowlife weirdo POS, then stfu and stop saying stupid stuff all the time.
Completely unrelated to the discussion. If you'd like to discuss that, we can, but it's a poor attempt to deflect from the current discussion.
I'll ask you the same question as I asked SND. What do you find amusing about that post? It's from an MSN article about a terrorist who murdered a cop who was just doing his job. A far left teacher's union, upon the death of the murderer, honored and praised her. That's shameful. Not the sort of people we want teaching our kids. So what do you find amusing about the murder or her being praised by the teacher's union? I genuinely find it extraordinary that anyone, left or right, thinks stuff like that is OK or amusing.
It's completely relevant and a perfect parallel, I'd argue a much bigger concern because one is being perpetuated by a our president
You are amusing
No, it's a dodge. It's a poor attempt to change the subject to avoid answering my question. Again, I'll gladly discuss the matter with you if you really want, but don't change the subject to help your idiot friend escape the consequences of saying yet another stupid thing.
So you're no more able to defend a bad position than SND. There's nothing amusing about a terrorist murdering a cop, escaping justice for it, and a radical teacher's union praising her and honoring her. You can't defend it, so, just like SND, you giggle about it. I didn't expect better from him. He's an idiot and has always had warped, twisted, bitter, low character takes on all sorts of things. You, I did expect better of.
Whatever dude, like I said before I think it's perfectly relevant to discuss when your side is doing the exact same shit you're so up in arms about. Your hypocrisy knows no bounds
You're right there's nothing amusing about that I agree. The history of that time period is important to be taught but I don't believe people like Shakur should be represented to be anything other than what they were. It's why I hate how people honor the confederacy, how we have seemingly honored traitor's from January 6th, events that lead to the deaths of police officers.
I have no knowledge or opinion of the case you're discussing, but I believe it's usually a mistake to cite wokepedia for any issue that's remotely controversial. Take, for example, that young woman, Sam Nordquist, who identified as a man and was brutally tortured before being killed in NY in February. It took half a year before they'd allow anybody to mention any (actually all) suspects are LGBT folks, or even quote the DA in the matter, and they're still trying to push the event as an example of hatred/persecution of and violence against LGBT folks.Bishop Dude! Take some time to walk through this long and very complex case and story (in Wikipedia), including how Shakur was targeted and beaten while in jail awaiting trial for her black liberation movement participation.
It sounds like a lot of police fabrication and there was medical testimony validate that there is no way she could have shot a gun and that one of the two gun bullets she took from police included one that only could occur with her arms up in the air; also no gunpowder residue found on her fingers and her fingerprints were not found on any gun at the scene.
Also it was all-white jury of 10 females and 5 males, all under 30 that convicted her.
Again, she likely hung around some bad elements some of which I don't think were even part of the black liberation movement.
She was absolutely targeted and many in power wanted her locked up.
And that's why in addition to the CTU, a number of respected publications made comments commemorating her legacy:
The Guardian describes Shakur as "an icon of Black liberation", noting that "her life and memoir inspired racial justice movements for decades."[234] Shakur's writings have influenced the 2020s Black Lives Matter movement.[235] In their obituaries, The New York Times and Rolling Stone called Shakur a folk hero.[236][237]
You simply read a headline and went off and made some very wild and speculative extrapolations to fit your very biased and loaded narrative
Bishop: Shameful as hell to honor a terrorist and murderer of a police officer. These are the radical leftists teaching our children.
Her being branded a terrorist and murderer is something that can be debated upon reviewing the facts of this case and its details.
And the CTU did not honor her for said terror and murder:
"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."
And the CTU is not the sole voice and sentiment of Chicago teachers; from a CTU description: The CTU acts as the representative for its members during collective bargaining and grievance resolution, but its influence and voice are distinct from the collective voices of all Chicago teachers.
So it's a huge extrapolation to make a statement like this:
Bishop: This is a big part of why we now see kids rioting against law & order, assaulting anyone who doesn't agree with their radical views, burning cities, fighting with cops, and murdering those who oppose them. They've been radicalized with utter BS by teachers like this.
Bishop: Refute the facts of the article or shut the fuck up with your childish, bitter, low character, weirdo BS.
I just did.
Try and do your homework before you get all indignant and shit about something that is much more complex than radical black terrorist convicted cop killer bad, left worships her; and this is why school kids grow up to be radical leftist lunatics who burn cities, fight with cops, and murder their political opponents.
You're just as bad as Pee Wee German , Pam Blondi Bimbo, and Heil Trump in trying to foment violence against anyone who or any organization that has a differing opinion from the MAGA Cult.
As I always tell you Bishop, you can do better man...

Medical evidence
Shakur's broken clavicle was a key element of her defense, and the implications of her injury for the differing accounts of the shootout were points of contention.
A key element of Shakur's defense was medical testimony meant to demonstrate that she was shot with her hands up and that she would have been subsequently unable to fire a weapon. A neurologist testified that the median nerve in Shakur's right arm was severed by the second bullet, making her unable to pull a trigger.[110] Neurosurgeon Dr. Arthur Turner Davidson, Associate Professor of Surgery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, testified that the wounds in her upper arms, armpit and chest, and severed median nerve that instantly paralyzed her right arm, would only have been caused if both arms were raised, and that to sustain such injuries while crouching and firing a weapon (as described in Trooper Harper's testimony) "would be anatomically impossible".
Other evidence
According to Angela Davis, neutron activation analysis that was administered after the shootout showed no gunpowder residue on Shakur's fingers and forensic analysis performed at the Trenton, New Jersey, crime lab and the FBI crime labs in Washington, D.C., did not find her fingerprints on any weapon at the scene.
American media (and hence world media) has an exteme woke bias, and I'm not just using media as a synonym for journalism. The internet and its forum moderation, search engines, AI chatbots, and wikis are mostly biased as fuck. That's my point.
I read your original post about Shakur and even read the entire Wikipedia article. It's essentially the defense's side of things, not the overall picture, let alone the prosecution's side. The defense is supposed to spin it and present it to make their client look less guilty. She was FAR from innocent. Not just the particular incident in NJ that got her convicted and imprisoned, but she was strongly suspected of and linked to several terrorist attacks, bank robberies, and murders, including several murders of cops over the previous few years as part of the BLA. There was nothing admirable or honorable about her. She was a straight up domestic terrorist, thief, and murderer.
Did you not read my reply to you where I said that I read the entire Wikipedia article? All you did here was just present that article again. It is VERY biased and supportive of her, not balanced, accurate, or even close to presenting the entire picture. You think she's the first criminal to say, "I'm innocent! Their case against me doesn't add up!" She wasn't some innocent woman in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was eventually the de facto head of the BLA, or at worst one of its primary planners and leaders. She helped plan and carry out multiple acts of violence, bank robberies, and targeted executions of police officers as acts of revolt and terrorism. She destroyed lives and families. She wasn't a good person or honorable. She was a murderous, terrorist, POS.
