In October, onetime Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers was confronted by a Fox News Channel reporter, some say he was ambushed. Ayers decided he needed help, so he called the police, which was quite ironic since his group bombed at least one police station and several police cars. Ayers has never renounced these acts of violence, nor has he apologized for them.
Two days ago Ayers attempted to enter Canada, but was denied by Canadian officials because of a 1969 anti-war protest arrest.
The Canadian university that was to have hosted Ayers released a statement that Ayers was not allowed to meet with his lawyer.
Interesting. It brings to mind something Victor Davis Hanson wrote last fall:
How strange that an advocate for communalism and an erstwhile attacker of police stations reverts to the notion of property rights and police to protect him from an intrusive reporter. Right out of Thucydides Book III and the strife on Corfu, when the historian warns that those who destroy the protocols of civilization may well one day wish to rely on them.
