It\u2019s the most important book I\u2019ve read in a year. So I did a series of running tweetstorms about it, and Clark asked me if he could collect them for posterity. I\u2019ve edited them slightly for editorial coherence.<\/p>\n<p><em>Days of Rage<\/em>\u00a0is important, because this stuff is forgotten and it shouldn\u2019t be. The 1970s underground wasn\u2019t small. It was hundreds of people becoming urban guerrillas. Bombing buildings: the Pentagon, the Capitol, courthouses, restaurants, corporations. Robbing banks. Assassinating police. People really thought that revolution was imminent, and thought violence would bring it about.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that Burrough returns to in <em>Days of Rage<\/em>, over and over and over, is how forgotten so much of this stuff is. Puerto Rican separatists bombed NYC like 300 times, killed people, shot up Congress, tried to kill POTUS (Truman). Nobody remembers it.<\/p>\n<p>Also, people don\u2019t want to remember how much leftist violence was actively supported by mainstream leftist infrastructure. I\u2019ll say this much for righty terrorist Eric Rudolph: the sonofabitch was caught dumpster-diving in a rare break from hiding in the woods. During his fugitive days, Weatherman\u2019s Bill Ayers was on a nice houseboat paid for by radical lawyers.<\/p>\n<p>Most&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/redice.tv\/news\/days-of-rage\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cPeople have completely forgotten that in 1972 we had over nineteen hundred domestic bombings in the United States.\u201d \u2014 Max Noel, FBI (ret.)
