Former Weather Underground Radical Jailed In 1981 Killing Reportedly Now Teaching At Columbia

A former Weather Underground radical who spent 22 years in prison for an armored-car robbery that killed two cops and a Brinks guard now reportedly holds a prestigious adjunct professorship at Columbia University’s School of Social Work.

The New York Post reports that Kathy Boudin’s return to respectability after her 2003 parole occurs a week before the release of Robert Redford’s “The Company You Keep,” a movie loosely based on the $1.6 million heist.

Boudin, 69, acted as a getaway driver in the heist and her status as perp-turned-prof outraged the widow of one of her victims, Brinks guard and father of three Peter Paige, who was killed in New York’s Rockland County by her accomplices from the Black Liberation Army on Oct. 20, 1981.

“She doesn’t deserve a job at all,” Josephine Paige, 74, told the Post. “She doesn’t deserve anything, nothing at all. I think she should be back in an institution.”

WTF the idiot that hired this dirtbag needs to be on the unemployment line.

let's see... if she can't get a job, she's on unemployment...( who pays for that?), or if she is on assistance of any kind (who pays for that), or if they kept her locked up, who would pay for that?

I'm not sure that there is a reasonable answer is there?

12:34 you are an idiot. She should have been executed. Get off the couch in your parents basement and go get a real job.
