United States Negotiating a Prisoner Swap Including Joanne Chesimard

cop killer

Many of you may not even know the name.  Many years ago, she killed a NJ state trooper and was sent to prison.  Between 1973 and 1977, Chesimard was indicted on charges of murder, attempted murder, armed robbery, bank robbery, and kidnapping.  In 1977 she was convicted in the shooting of a NJ state trooper and seven other related felonies and sent to prison.  In 1979 three members of the BLA (Black Liberation Army, broke her out of the Clinton Correctional facility in Rahway, NJ and she made her way to Cuba, where US authorities could not touch her.

Today, Chesimard is an icon to leftists all across America, the same way that Mumia Abu-Jamal is.  Abu Jamal is a Black Panther, who shot and killed Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner execution style.  For years Rosie O’Donnell and other Hollywood freaks and freakettes have marched and raised money to get him freed.  In fact almost everyone on the left denies Abu-Jamal did the killing.  Everyone denies except Abu-Jamal himself.  Today, Chesimard is worshiped by the Black Lives Matter and her name is invoked in almost every gathering.

Today, Chesimard goes by the name of Assata Shakur.  She was the step aunt of rapper Tupak Shakur.  There’s an Obama connection here, too.  Chesimard was a member of the BLA (She left the Black Panthers because she said it wasn’t violent enough) whose organization received support from the Weather Underground, the group that includes Obama’s good friend, Bill Ayers.

It is believed that Cuba wants Cuban spy Ana Montes as part of the exchange.

There is a catch.  Just because they bring Chesimard back to the states is no guaranty that she will serve her prison time.  You could see Obama issue her a pardon or a sentence reduction to time served right?  Wrong.  He can’t.  The president can only pardon federal criminals and Chesimard was convicted by the state of New Jersey.  However, you can look for the Congressional Black caucus and the Hollywood elite to march and provide funds for Chesimard to get a new trial.
