Convicted cop killer Assata Shakur, an FBI Most Wanted terrorist, dead in Cuba, communist regime says
Story by Louis Casiano • 1h

Cuban officials on Friday said that Joanne Chesimard, who was convicted of killing a New Jersey state trooper, has died in Havana decades after breaking out of prison and escaping to the communist island.

Cuba's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Chesimard, who was born JoAnne Deborah Byron and was also known as Assata Olugbala Shakur, passed away after living there for years under asylum granted by the Cuban government.
 
"On September 25, 2025, American citizen Joanne Deborah Byron, ‘Assata Shakur,’ passed away in Havana, Cuba, due to health conditions and advanced age," the ministry's statement said.
 
In 1977, Chesimard was convicted of the murder of State Trooper Werner Foerster, who left behind a wife and 3-year-old son, during a shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike in 1973.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Given her condition, I wish she'd hung around for another 10 years for some well deserved suffering.

And Cuba's outstanding medical system couldn't save her?
¡Qué lástima!

The Chicago teachers' union mourns.

Chicago Teachers Union
@CTULocal1
Rest in Power, Rest in Peace, Assata Shakur. 🕊️
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.
Assata refused to be silenced. She taught us that “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

This is fu**ing insane.
She was a “revolutionary fighter” against America. She was part of an organization that robbed banks and killed cops. She was convicted of participating in the murder of a state trooper. If she’s your hero, you hate America.

The usual suspects in Congress weigh in:

Chuck Ross
@ChuckRossDC
NEW:   Mamdani’s Political Party Mourns Convicted Cop Killer Assata Shakur
So did 3 House Dems — @RepSummerLee, @RepPressley, and @RepYvetteClarke.
“Rest in Power,” they said for a woman who murdered a cop, bombed police cars, and robbed a ton of banks.

Lefties slammed for celebrating fugitive activist Assata Shakur, who executed NJ state trooper: ‘Shameful and depraved’
Story by Ronny Reyes • 3h

The Chicago Teachers Union is facing backlash after posting a tribute honoring Assata Shakur — the fugitive Black liberation activist who recently died after escaping a life sentence for the murder of a New Jersey state trooper in 1973.

The CTU, which represents more than 27,000 members, hailed Shakur, who was living in Cuba following her prison break 46 years ago, as “a revolutionary fighter,” in a social media post, drawing immediate condemnation online, including from New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy.

“Shameful and depraved,” Murphy wrote on X about the CTU’s praise.
 
“She was convicted of the murder New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster, who was executed in cold blood,” he said.

Lefties have proven time and again there is absolutely nothing to shameful and depraved for them. **nononono*
