Maxine Waters = Hip Hop Community = Street gangs = Black Panthers = Cop Killers = Black Muslim Terrorists = Communists = Fidel Castro = Congressional Black Caucus: On May 2, 1973, Joanne Chesimard, a member of the
Black Liberation Army, a militant branch of the Black Panthers, and two of her fellow Black Militants were stopped in their vehicle on the New Jersey Turnpike by state troopers James Harper and Werner Foerster. While being questioned, Chesimard and the driver, her "companion" Zayd Malik Shakur , opened fire with automatic pistols, striking Trooper Foerster twice in the chest and Trooper Harper in the shoulder. Then, grabbing Trooper Foerster's own service weapon, she fired an additional two bullets into Foerster's head
execution style, killing him. Trooper Harper survived the attack. The driver, Zayd Shakur, was killed at the scene by Trooper Foerster before Chesimard murdered him.
Joanne Chesimard was caught, tried, found guilty, sentenced to life in prison, and lost again on appeal. In the mean time she changed her name to Assata Shakur.
In 1979 she made an
armed escape from prison and fled to
Cuba. Ever since, Fidel Castro has refused extradition requests from the US for her return.
In 1998, Representative
Maxine Waters, Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, wrote a letter to
Fidel Castro (
"Dear President Castro...") urging him to REFUSE extradition of this convicted-cop-killer-fugitive saying she is a victim of "political persecution" and compared the convicted cop-killer to Martin Luther King Jr. - even though Amnesty International refuses to recognize her as a political prisoner.
Assata Shakur is the "aunt" of Tupac Shakur, rap "star" murdered in a gang-related hit in Las Vegas in 1996. Tupac has a very long history of violent crime including numerous assault arrests, a rape conviction and a 1993 incident when he was accused of shooting two white Atlanta police officers. Those charges were later dropped.
In 1988, Tupac Shakur’s stepfather/uncle, Mutulu Shakur was sentenced to 60 years in prison for his involvement in a 1981 armored-car robbery in which two policemen and a Brinks guard were killed. He is a long-time radical
Black Militant who still works on behalf of radical many Black Militant groups who advocate violence to achieve their goals.
Mutulu Shakur is the brother of Zayd Malik Shakur and Assata Shakur, the two who murdered Trooper Foester in New Jersey and was instrumental in Assata Shakur's prison break and escape to Cuba. Their father, Aba Saladin Shakur, was a close associate of Malcom Shabazz (
Malcom X).
Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur, is also a militant Black Panther who actually gave birth to Tupac in prison while serving time for plotting to bomb several buildings in New York.
They are all
radical violent Black Muslims.
To this day Tupac Shakur's aunt, a convicted cop-killer and Muslim Black radical, Assata Shakur lives safely in Cuba and is a hero to the Black Liberation Army, the New Black Panthers, Fidel Castro, the Hollywood hip-hop community - and is apparently a hero to Maxine Waters and the Congressional Black Caucus as well.
